The Wimbledon 2010 Thread/Sports Sunday Thread #1 For 7/4/10: Rafa's World: The Spainard Has Retain His Wimbledon Title With An Awesome Straight Set Win Over Tomas Berdych
Rafael Nadal has returned to Wimbledon and recaptured the title he could not defend last year, dominating a tight Tomas Berdych 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 to win Wimbledon for the 2nd time.
It is the world number 1's 8th Grand Slam title at just age 24. And it is only the seventh time that a player has done the always difficult French Open/Wimbledon double.
He is simply at the height of his game, no concerns of his knees derailing him at being clearly the best player in the game right now.
Moreover, the win further puts him among the greats of the sport. And with his humility, passion for the game, and just love and respect for the game and life, you wouldn't rule him out from taking a series assault at Mr. Federer at 16, even with the Swiss not poised at all to stop.
And for the man who he vanquished today, Berdych has certainly had a memorable tournament, despite a very tight performance. Nevertheless, the Czech is in the Top 10 where he belongs. And hopefully, he will continue to build off this great fortnight and be a consistent contender for Grand Slams.
But even if he maintains this level of tennis, Berdych knows that it will take an effort and thensome, along with the rest of the ATP Tour, to stop the amazing form that the legendary lefty Spaniard is on now.
