Rafael Nadal broke Roger Federer and finally saw the light in the approaching night. He was serving for the Wimbledon Title.
At approximately 9:15 p.m., Roger Federer became human on grass as his last shot was stopped by the net he had met his disappointed adversaries at the past five championships.
Rafael Nadal had won at Wimbledon in thrilling fasion, 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(10), 6-7(8), 9-7.
As the Spaniard fell to his knees and enjoyed a joyous cry, another man cried as well.
Roger Federer loved this tournament and to not be the one holding the golden trophy seemed like a nightmare that he thought would never happen with his eyes open.
These two men, who had given every bit of energy for themselves and the tennis world on Centre Court, were both able to show the true joy and pain they had been feeling for more than four and a half hours long.
Though there could only be one winner, it seemed like there were three: Rafael Nadal, who was the lone victor, Roger Federer, who looked like a beaten up man, and The audience.
The Audience was the flat out winner because it was given one of the greatest sporting events of all time.
One thing to keep in mind come next May at Roland Garros, Federer may just flip the table and beat Nadal on his own court.
Boy, this audience can't wait for that.
