Nadal Beats Federer (NY Times Feed)
WIMBLEDON, England — In near darkness, one of the greatest tennis matches ever played concluded with Roger Federer hitting a short forehand into the net and with Rafael Nadal flat on his back on the grass with the flash bulbs lighting up his exhausted, elated face.
Nadal’s 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 victory signified the end of a record streak at Wimbledon, the oldest of all tennis tournaments, and perhaps the end of an era, too.
“Tried everything,” Federer said in his post-match remarks to the crowd. “Got a little late and everything. But look, Rafa’s a deserving champion. He just played fantastically.
No one had beaten Federer at Wimbledon or on grass since 2002; he had reeled off five consecutive singles titles here and 65 consecutive victories on grass. Nadal had come the closest in last year’s final: pushing his friendly rival to five sets before ending up in tears in the locker room as Federer equaled Bjorn Borg’s modern men’s record with his fifth straight victory
That emotional match immediately took its place among the best Wimbledon finals, but this five-set, 4-hour-48-minute classic — played on a rainy, gusty Sunday — was better yet and also the longest final in Wimbledon’s lengthy history.
