I stayed up late last night, sat in front of the fire, and watched our man take what is rightfully his. Told you he would. He's just too good. Although now I hear he's going back to the docs about his dodgy knees. I mean, he's only 24. Anyway. Wimbledon Champ and rightfully deserved.

I don't think his knees are too bad.........just probably tune up work. He's just so tough on them. He goes for every shot all out.........!!!! The stopping and starting on those poor knees....yikes. I think he has learned not to do so many tournaments and to space them out.
The game was awesome though! Berdych didn't play bad......just seems like on the really important points Nadal has another gear........I don't see how he gets the ball to do that wicked curve either.
Do you ever wonder how he would play right handed?

Honestly I didn't know he was a leftie until last night!
Too good. And he is.
Federer has not been gracious but then when you're on the down track why would you be.
Go Nadal.

You know he is right handed. He only plays tennis left handed. His uncle wanted him to play that way.

Well, no, I didn't know that. I'm actually a leftie at a quite a few things too. Although not holding a racquet or a cricket bat or anything like that. The RH side of the brain kicks in too much.
But I can understand him being LH in some things. I was taught stuff by lefties and for all I'm RH, I do this stuff LH and couldn't even imagine trying it RH.
That was long winded wasn't it? Go Nadal.
