As Good As It Gets

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!

      What a match! It was AWESOME. I didn't want it to end. Bloody nice guy, Nadal. Humble, shy, respectful of Federer…. great role model. Can't wait for the US open and see them both battling it out again.

      115

      The 'Roger had mono!' excuse is getting old. He got to the final, didn't he? He got to the RG final too, didn't he? And the final of Hamburg, and the final of Hale.

      Are his fans going to wave the mono card every time he loses now? Even if he plays well, like he did today? Lame.



    16. 116

      SUCH a good game! I love both of them, even though nadal has one arm larger than the other!

      120

      An epic match, maybe the best match ever in tennis history!
      Rafa has won, but the two were just playing equally - look at the result. Roger could have won today, it was only a matter of good or bad luck. These two players are just on their own special tennis cloud - no other player could have beaten them today except one another - giant meets giant, incredible!! :-) Thanks Roger, thanks Rafa!!
      And to all those that predict Roger is never playing as great as he used to - remember, he's been quite sick for a big part of this and last year. See you in Wimbledon'09!! :-D

      138

      Perez likes watching Nadal play because Nadal picks his ass between each point. What the fuck…can't some company pay him a shitload of money to sponsor him for some "ass pickin' free" undies? Tagline…."Guaranteed not to get stuck up your crack!"
      Sucks to be the other players going against Nadal as he picks his ass, touches the balls, then serves them to his opponent. I pity the ballboys and ballgirls! Probably have feces spread all over themselves when they work one of Nadal's games!
      Great match by the way….Federer is the all-time king of tennis until Nadal can equal Roger's Grand Slam record and hold onto the #1 seed for as long as he has. Until then he is an up and coming champion.

      Trooper?!? Ushally I aggree with you Perez but Gwen sat there for the whole 5 hours with a sour look on her face like the world was against her!!!

      Not to mention the fact that Gavin spoke more to Mrs Federer then his wife!!

      I reckon there's trouble in paradise…

      I was trying to watch the match. Instead they kept showing that sour head (gwen stefani). If you don't want to be there…DON'T GO!! She obviously was there so she could say..Yeah I saw the Wimbledon finale. Bored looking bitch. I wish Gavin would smack the shit out of here.

      148

      Well, I watched the whole game and Gwen lokked like she couln't care less. Gavin was cheering. But, hey, the girl is heavy pregnant.

      I don't think you could describe what Gwen Stefani was doing as "cheering Roger on"!! She looked really, really, really bored all day and had a right grumpy face on her!! Even when Federer won a set she didn't crack a smile!! Gavin seemed to be enjoying the match though.

      Federe has figured out how to look good no matter what. The spanish guy needs to learn something from him. One slob vs one mr. GQ. They were both absolutely fantastic. I usually dont watch wimbledon, but I was glued to the whole thing!!!! Counting the rain delays it was an all day event.

      Roger CHOKED away +15 break points to that dirtballer!
      fuck Roger!
      having said that I'm still happy Roger didn't lose to that arrogant dickhead Djokovic or that asshole Andy Roddick.
      Now Roger get back in the gym and get your shit together cause I'm sick and tired of you losing to punks like Roddick,Murray,Fish,Stepanek and Nadal on grass out of all places.

      um , no you arent.
      you've won two things.
      & btw, when was the last time spain won the european cup (soccer/football) ?
      EXACTLY.
      & btw , other people can beat nadal ! but federer finds his stragedy hard, thats the only reason they lost ! geeeezzz , spain isnt THAT good ! so wait for the olympics. lets see how much they win then huh !

      Re: Gylanah – hahahhahahhahaha yeah…sure…the "mono" excuse…how long is Roger going to use that?? Next 5 years? Please, he was out matched, out smarted and out played….on his favorite surface. He said it himself "I tried everything" well…it didn't work did it?? You should show respect to Rafa who is always humble, always gracious…and always showing Roger respect after each match. Perhaps you are just a tool who doesn't really know or love the game and just like to post crap, otherwise you would have seen this match for the epic battle it was…and congratulate both sides instead of making lame excuses on Roger's behalf. Viva Espana!
