Federer up 2 sets to 1,but Nadal ahead 5-2 in 4th set.I can't believe Nadal has won more games than Federer (so far.)

I wasn't even watching this today.I figured it a done deal that Roger would blow past this guy on this surface.Even if Roger wins it,this is a surprise(that Nadal could even compete with him on grass.)

That was great tennis.Nadal can't beat Federer on this surface.I am surprised he had a chance to.Twice Blew chances to break serve in the 5th set. Had him 15-40 2 different times.Federer finally found his game.I don't think Nadal will get that chance again.

nadal has pushed Federer farther each time.
After today there is no doubt that he can beat him on grass at some point.
I hope he doesn't because I like Federer better.
some of the rallies today were beyond belief how they kept painting the lines.

What a great rivalry and looks like on that will last a few years.

Federer was incredible in the fifth.

That match was simply amazing. As much as I hate to say it, I think today was saw the beginning of the passing of the torch. This match helped Nadal a lot more than it helped Federer from a competition perspective. Federer has that extra gear that he seems to be able to switch on when he needs and almost becomes super human. That 8 out of 9 point stretch he put on late in the 5th was some of the best shotmaking that has ever been seen. What a treat....Was really nice to see Borg there. He looked good all things considered.

Big props to Roger and the white suit....in a world of spoiled superstars it's nice to see people like Roger and Tiger show the amount of class they do.
