Ruler of Grass

Yesterday, Roger Federer has rewritten a chapter in the book of Wimbledon history by defeating Nadal in 5 Sets to become only the second player in the modern era to win Wimbledon for 5 consecutive times.

Though, Roger started the match with an Ace, he didn't look comfortable having Nadal at the other end. The won the 1st and 3rd set in tie-breaker. Nadal won the 2nd and 4th set comfortably. Many believed that if the match extends to the 5th set, Nadal will be the obvious winner believing in his fitness. Roger proved them all wrong.

Roger took control of the decider set thru' his class. Knowing his limitations, he played brilliantly. The gets on the top gear on the right time. After winning the first break on the 5th set, it is all just formalities.

Nadal is getting better on grass courts. He was in control of the match until the decider. He don't like others calling him "King of Clay".

Roger knows he has to work & fight harder to create history next time.
