And so, the curtains come down on Wimbledon 2007 - the year when the British realise that their palyers are not doing enough, the year when we were intorduced to Marion Bartoli, the year when Djokovic entertained us, the year that many will remember for the rain delays - but that's part and parcel of Wimbledon - to be subject to the weather and to remain mentally and physically prepared at all times.
It was also the year when we have to face up to the fact that Federer's dominance of the men's game on grass is slowly coming to an end. But for now, let him enjoy and savour his moment.

it was close eh! Nerve wrecking match. My friend ended up supporting Nadal becos she just thought he was such a worthy opponent. a fighter. i think so too.
gosh, so macho.
haha.
super close!!!! out of nowhere, federer just upped his game. mark of a true champion, i guess.
yeah, as everyone is saying, nadal is good for the game - gave us a great match to watch. but i can't bring meself to support nadal. not yet. can't stand his delaying tactics (or is he just super slow - did u see how he made federer, the match official and the blind-boy-coin-tosser wait at the net while he sucked on his watever thingy before the game?) and the way he picks at his butt before he serves! ;-)
yeah the butt picking and socks pulling got to me abit too. i think he needs to get better underwear and better socks. but then again, some people are just obsessive compulsive in some if not all areas of life.
i know i am abit. i wash my hands constantly. so for nadal its touching his butt.
HAHAHAHA.
we are all OCD sufferers - yrs truly included! but we dun try to pick our butts in front of others, to say nothing where there's an audience of millions watching!!!!
the price he pays for wearing that stylish but tight shorts. he shud wear boxers...!
