I need someone who's up to date on wimbledon 2008?

Question

a friend of mine went to camp, and he wants me to e-mail him about who won the Wimbledon championship, but I don't know a thing about tennis. So, I need someone who's planning on watching the championship to let me know who's playing, who wins, and even details about the games if you're up to it.

Volunteers?

I will give you best answer if you do (of course)

Answer 10

Men's Final

Rafael Nadal [2] def Roger Federer [1]

6-4 6-4 6-7 (5) 6-7 (8) 9-7

the match lasts for 4 hr 48 mins (the longest final in wimbledon history)

being delayed 30mins because of rain, so it started late (about 2.30pm)

during the match, it was delayed twice because of rain. the first came in the 3rd set. the score was 6-4 6-4 4-5 for nadal (nadal is serving)

the second is in the 5th set when the score is 2-2.

it is considered as one of the best wimbledon finals ever.

the match starts at 2.30 pm and ended at about 8.15 pm. as i know, roger is a bit of complaining about the darkness.

the match ended by nadal breaking in the 15th game to take the lead 8-7 and hold his serve in the 16th game. fed's forehand hit the nets and nadal wins the title.

in the match, fed has 25 ace while nadal only 6.

fed has 52 unforced errors while nadal has 27

fed has 13 break pts and can only convert 1 (in the early 2nd set)

nadal has 13 break pts and convert 4 of them (1 in set1, 2 in set 2, and 1 in the 5th set)

nadal has 2 championships in 4th set, but unable to convert it. fed ends the 4th set by an ace. nadal gains 1 championship in the 5th, but fed made it a deuce. nadal then made an unreturned service to gain the 4th championship pts and finally by federer's forehand error he won the title.

by winning in wimby 2008 nadal be the 1st man since bjorn borg in 1980 to win the wimbledon and french open title in the same year. he also ends fed's streak in grass court (65) & wimbledon (40). he also prevents fed to make a history (the 1st man to win 6 consecutive wimbledon).

this is also nadal's first grand slam title other than clay court.

only 2 spanish player ever win in wimbledon. the first is manolo santana in 1966. and the 2nd is rafael nadal. it takes 42 years to see a spaniard win wimbledon again.
