Nadal got a little smart-alecked and didn't close out that match when he should have.

That said, the two semis matches were remarkably similar.

I guess I'm just no good at talking smack.

This set of TVC's with music by Lang- Lang are simply the best sports TVC's I've ever seen- simple, yet powerful and full of class!

EDIT- Here's the classic full one. Simply brilliant.

Good GRAVY.

I said to my wife last night that this was going to be one the great matches of all time.

 

[Drew Ott]

Most exciting tennis match I've ever seen I think.

Holy Crap!

 

[Drew Ott]

I was going for Federer but it's all good.

 

[David Jimerson]

That was the greatest tennis match ever played.

All is good in the Universe

Boston won in the fall
Lakers lost in the Spring
Rafa wins in the summer

THAT was an amazing match!!! Wow!!!

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Great match!

Two amazing players.... simply incredible.

 

[David Jimerson]

One of those moments in sports that you feel privileged just for having watched it.

Perhaps the rematch will be as spectacular.

 

[Simon Höfer]

Yeah, I had to follow the live ticker... talk about suspence!

They were only showing it on pay-TV

You know you're watching something special when you switch sides through the event. That was so Rocky with rackets it's crazy.

In all, this is one of the best Wimbledons I've ever seen. MUCH personal history made by many people. MANY surprises. The drama was intense.

Wimbledon '89 seems like it was still the best, but this one is right up there.

Going into the match, I wanted Fed to win. But then seeing how much heart Nadal had, I felt like he deserved the win. And what a win he had! Both played so well. And in the end, Fed still took the loss like a true champion.
