As Good As It Gets

Filed under: Anglophilia > Gwen Stefani > Zportz

nadalwin.jpg

On Sunday, Spaniard Rafael Nadal won the Men's Singles title at Wimbledon!

It was an epic battle against rival (and Anna Wintour's "crush") Roger Federer.

After two rain delays and 4 hours and 48 minutes of playing, Raffa secured victory.

The Spanish phenom won the French Open a few weeks ago (also against Federer).

This is the first time since 1980 that someone's won the French Open and Wimbledon title back to back.

What a week for Spanish athletics!

Last Sunday the Euro soccer title…and now Wimbledon.

Ole!

Rockers Gavin Rossdale and super preggo Gwen Stefani were spotted in the front row cheering their pal Roger on.

Gwen's such a trooper!

    I love that matches like these bring positive attention to tennis — those who say tennis isn't fun to watch can suck it hard. This was an epic match, such high quality. Just amazing. Simply amazing.

  36. Bunk says – reply to this


    36

    Nadal its future, Roger its over he willl never win Roland Garros and its getting older, Rafas success its only beginning; and to Leona respect to the champion, and if you wanna see some ape, look at you in the mirror.
    Spain rules like we did it in the past

    Re: Yazzeey – They both played well. Nadal just better. Nadal always beat Federer on concrete anyway.

    Glad to see you covering tennis Perezzers… this was indeed a great match… a great two weeks of tennis actually. Probably one of the most entertaining ever. It was great to watch Rafa win. He's one of my favorites and is one of the most humble (and sexiest!) players you'll ever see. Vamos Rafa!!!

    Absolutely fantastic and like I posted on the women's final-the men's final absolutely blew that horrible Williams match away! The single opening game of the men's final had better shot making than the whole awful womens final! Congrats to RAFA! I screamed myself hoarse at the end there!!!!

  52. envi says – reply to this


    52

    I just saw the game! It was awesome. It's nice to see that you follow tennis Perez!

    I was rooting for Roger, but I think Nadal deserved to win. I hate to admit it but I think Roger is on a downfall from now on.

  53. cheer says – reply to this


    53

    Thanks for sharing this Perez. I just finished watching the epic match. I appreciate you talking about tennis… tennis needs more coverage in our country so that we can reclaim American men's tennis.

  54. islan says – reply to this


    54

    I am so sad that Roger lost and didn't break the record…. mostly just to see him loose and still be so gracious and courageous in defeat. I congratulate Nadel and all of Spain on their big wins this year but Roger to me, is now right up there with the best men tennis players ever. Not to mention, the most humble.
    What a match , I overslept and was sure i'd missed it but thanks to rain delays i got my workout jumping up and down for hours.
    Congratulations to both of them. What a match, perhaps the best ever. Now on to the olympics, now, beach volleyball…good thing it's not in the east coast where it has rained off and on all weekend. ug!! m.avon,ct.

    Rafaêl Nadal DID NOT WIN ! Roger gave him so many points (unforced errors) that he would have looked stupid to lose. Roger had a bad day, he is still recovering from mononucleosis. Just wait when he gets better, he will beat the daylights out of Popeye (did you see his arms, probably from spinach, Ya !) Viva the best player in the world, Roger Federer, his arms are normal.



  70. 70

    All I can say is AMAZING!!! That was the greatest match of tennis I have ever seen!!! The US Open should be a blast! I can't wait!

    Perez, you should post lots of pictures of Rafael Nadal, the same way you do with Cristiano Ronaldo. Those two are the hottest men in sports in Europe…maybe the world!!!

    Viva Iberian peninsula!

    82

    Epic match, INDEED! These two are the best in the world and a far cry of the John MacInroe's and Ilie Nastases. These two have so much class.

    It was a great match and it was a shame either of them had to lose.

    I have to add - Rafa has one of the best bodies I've ever seen!

  83. Steph says – reply to this


    83

    So, so happy for Nadal - it was an unbelievable match.

    And yeah, Gwen looked utterly bored throughout the whole match, and looked very sulky and showed no respect to Nadal at the end (even when he was clambering about in the player's box to see his family, which is also where she was sitting). That really pissed me off - I mean, show a bit of grace. He played an incredible match.

  84. Halli says – reply to this


    84

    Greatest match ever played.

    SO SAD Roger lost. But he is still #1 and is naturally having an off-season.

    GO ROGER!!!!



  85. 85

    SIIIII¡¡¡¡
    parece que lo Español se impone, jajaja.

  86. buhby says – reply to this


    86

    he got freaking lucky…federer is the king of grass. With all those unforced error and his injury, it seems lame that apeish looking nadal never won sooner. Cant wait for US open.

  87. Yay says – reply to this


    87

    I'm soooooo happy that Rafa won! It's about time someone wiped that smug look of Federer's face and his girlfriends lol! People can make all the excuses about the wind etc but at the end of the day the best man won! So good job Rafa, you so deserved. Looking forward to next year when the new #1 Rafa will no doubt beat Federer once again!

  88. This says – reply to this


    88

    Please don't talk about tennis. It's far too refined for your site.

    I LOVE Roger Federer, and really felt for him when he seemed close to tears when mcenroe interviewed him-but Nadal played a great match!! Happy for Spain. I hope Roger can recovers and continues to be the great champion he is! Looking forward to see what the future will bring for the deserving Nadal. What an Epic game!

    Roger's face just "misses." He really should do something about his awful nose.

  97. Halli says – reply to this


    97

    Nadal looks like the boy from the Jungle Book.

    He even climbed the damn walls to hug his parents and family. Too bad he didn't even bother shaking Roger's dad's hand (Robert Federer) when he was standing up and clapping for him despite watching his son lose what he was looking forward to the most this year.



  98. 98

    It was nice to see someone different win for a change. Roger seems snobby to me.

    Go Rafael! By the end of the year, you'll likely clip the number 1 rank, too. Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael! Go Rafael!
