So pleased to see Federer win the mens singles at Wimbledon today. That's 5 in a row now, equalling Borg's run in the early 1980's - and he's young enough to keep it going, will be interesting to see if he can make it 6 next year! And what a final today was - such amazing quality, so close and exciting. In the final set Federer was 15-40 down in each of his 1st 2 service games, and in that situation with the amount of pressure he was under to come back and win both of those games was just incredible! A worthy champion indeed! But you've got to give Nadal credit as well - to push Federer to the brink like that is pretty much unheard of at Wimbledon. The contrast between the 2 players made it great to watch - Federer just oozes quality and elegance in everything he does on the court whereas Nadal is more about effort, he just never stops, never gives up - heard him described as like a pesky fly who you can't just swot away. But anyway, well done Roger and here's to the 6th...Just noticed as well that Jamie Murray and partner won the mixed doubles making him the 1st Brit to win any of the senior Wimbledon titles in over 20 years. Cool. Who knows, maybe his brother could be the one who dethrones Federer at some point?!!

i'm sure you know who this is - lack of capital letters is a bit of a giveaway
Never really got chance to watch too much of Wimbledon this year but did watch the men's final and agreed... what a match?! Federra was definitely the deserving champion and yes, would be good to see him top Borg's record next year..?
Excuse the rubbish spelling of Federer in previous comment! I'm tired!!!
