Federer claims 4th Wimbledon
Roger Federer claimed his fourth straight Wimbledon title with a hard-fought four-set victory over Rafael Nadal. Federer won 6-0 7-6 6-7 6-3 in two hours 50 minutes to join Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras as the only players to win four years in succession at the All England Club in the open era.
On any other surface it would have seemed a logical expectation, but on grass? Surely only few optimistic could have expected a Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal final at the start of the fortnight, but Wimbledon will end with the first grass court match of the new great rivalry in men's tennis

I am a big Roger fan & was very disappointed when he lost to Nadal in Roland Garros. His #1 position was also under threat after Nadal had started to rake the titles.
With Roger winning, some confidence is back! We shall c more of the two :-)
