2008 Wimbledon Winners
Nadal victory over Federer
WIMBLEDON, England - Rafael Nadal's first Grand Slam title off clay was never going to be easy, but this was ridiculous.
Who knew the Spaniard would have to come through arguably the greatest men's final ever in his phenomenal 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 victory over five-time defending champion Roger Federer at Wimbledon?
Maybe the only one who knew was the 22-year-old Spaniard, who defined heroic in an epic 4-hour, 48-minute contest in which Federer proved equally deserving of the title.
"Probably my hardest loss, by far," a despondent Federer said later.
Had he lost the match — where he was in control in every set — Nadal may have never mentally recovered from the defeat. As hard as he's worked to become a better fast-court player, winning major championships over legends such as Federer on quick courts are all about seizing the few chances you have earned.
It took Nadal until dusk fell to do so. After watching Federer come up with three rip-roaring winners on his first three match points, Nadal finally saw a better sight — the 12-time Grand Slam winner nudged an easy forehand into the net in a match where winners ruled the day.
Nadal then slid on to the few blades of grass that were left in the middle of the baseline, rolled around in the dirt, ran up to hug his family and friends and then scooted over the Royal Box to shake hands with Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia of Spain, the first player to make the approach to royalty in history.
"It's a special feeling," Nadal said with a wide smile.
Venus Beats Sis for Wimbledon Women’s Title
This time, the older Williams sister beat the younger one.
Venus Williams of the United States, 28, yesterday beat Serena in the women’s singles final of Wimbledon in London.
The seventh-seeded Venus topped the sixth-ranked Serena, 26, in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4, to claim her fifth Wimbledon singles’ title.
Venus had not beaten her younger sister in the final of a major tournament since the 2001 U.S. Open, and is now 1-5 against Serena in the finals.
The two sisters fought hard for the title with strong serves and sharp strokes. They threw their rackets in frustration after making mistakes.
The more experienced and focused Venus emerged the winner, but the sisters soon came back and hugged each other after the game.
Venus said, “You could never detract from winning a Wimbledon, so of course it doesn’t detract from that. But I’m definitely thinking about how my sister’s feeling.”
2007 Wimbledon Winners
England, July 7 — Marion Bartoli hit the ball to the corners, aiming her two-handed forehands and deceptively quick backhands as far from Venus Williams as the lines on the court would allow. But the court was too small for Bartoli to have a chance. The 6-foot-1 Williams, with a lunging stride and long arms, seemed to reach them all. In doing so Saturday, Williams won her fourth Wimbledon title, probably her unlikeliest, adding to the championships she won in 2000, 2001 and 2005. She became the first woman at Wimbledon to win the same prize money as the men’s champion — roughly $1.4 million.
Williams, seeded 23rd after a couple of injury-shortened seasons, also became the lowest-seeded player in history to win the women’s title — a record that would have gone to Bartoli, had she won instead. But Williams’s résumé and resurrected championship form made her an overwhelming favorite to beat Bartoli, who had never advanced as far as the quarterfinals of a major until this one.
England, July 8 — In a matter of moments, three sides of Roger Federer were on display at Center Court. First came the deft and forceful overhead smash that won him the Wimbledon championship. Then came the emotional reaction: Federer dropped to his knees, rolled onto his back with his hands over his face, and sat up with tears in his eyes. Finally, to the rousing cheers of fans, including Bjorn Borg, Federer came gliding in to accept the winner’s trophy. He wore a sheepish grin and — after a Superman-like change of clothes — his trademark white pants, white vest and white monogrammed blazer with gold trim. There is always a dash of style with Federer, the 25-year-old from Switzerland, and now he has reached a nearly unprecedented level of substance. Federer beat Rafael Nadal, his 21-year-old Spanish rival, in five sets Sunday, 7-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2, joining Borg as the only men’s players in the last 100 years to win Wimbledon five times in a row. The victory was the first five-set match of Federer’s five-year reign at Wimbledon, and the first in any of his appearances in Grand Slam finals, where he is now 11-2 (Nadal is the only man to have beaten him, in the past two French Open finals). On Sunday, as Federer basked in another Wimbledon victory, Nadal stood nearby, wearing a brave smile.
