Well we all wanted it and there it was the 3rd time Nadal and Federer going head to head in a wimbledon final, and what a final it turned out to be. The best match point by point played by any two players in the history of tennis.

outcome :Nadal falling to the dew-laden turf as the realisation dawned that he was the new champion. And again we all want another final 2009?? will we get our wish

What everyone hoped for after 2006 final was granted to them, Federer going for the 5th title, Nadal wanted to prove his 2006 final was not a fluke.

The match was fantastic from start to end, with heartbreak for Nadal in the fifth set where he should have taken the lead and won the championship.

Outcome: Federer got his fifth, but to me this match was Nadal's more than the all time classic match was was to be played in 2008.

Here was the first match between federer and Nadal on Grass, even though federer had lost to Nadal on clay going into this match federer was on a high looking for his fourt wimbledon and won it, But for Nadal it was a very good experience the way he adapted to grass was a surprise to everyone and many of the pundits said "These two are the best players, with Nadal edging closer all the time.

Outcome : We were left for another final between these two great players.
