I hope at least a few of us watched the incredible finals at Wimbledon this year.
The Williams sisters put on a ferocious match, worthy among the best of the finals I've seen in the last xx years. They finished up by winning the ladies' doubles. They were truly the pride of America at the Wimbledon Championships this year.
Rafael Nadal just beat Roger Federer in the most amazing match .. and he jumped up over John MacEnroe's announcer's box, hugged his family and then tripped across the roof (can you imagine how loud that was for the announcers) to greet the Prince and Princess of Spain. Longest final men's match on record.
It is the first time in 28 years the winner of the French Open also won at Wimbledon. Bjorn Borg (the last guy to double win the French & Wimbledon) was sitting in the Royal Box to take it all in. Rafa, you're having one amazing kind of run!!
Whew! I am wrung dry.
Heartiest congratulations to both of the players today. They played with intensity, ferocity and both deserved to win. They endured 2 rain delays. Roger only broke Nadal's serve once the entire match. Nadal only broke 4 times, and failed two strong opportunities in the 3rd and 4th set tie breaks.
CHEERS!!! We march on to the US Open .. Anne
