Last year, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal (a.k.a Rafa) met in the final round of the world's most prestigious tennis tournament, Wimbledon. It was Roger that won that match, making him only second player in tournament history to win five Wimbledon finals in a row. What an amazing run for Roger.

Fast forward to this year's French Open where the two met yet again. That match was decidedly won by Rafa where he not only proved that he has what it takes to beat the world's top ranked player but do so in such an overwhelming fashion.

With so much leading to Wimbledon, it was amazing to see the two meet in the Wimbledon final. Not only because they're the top two players in the world and have established a beautiful rivalry, but also due to the historical significance of either's win this year.

With a win, Rafa would become the first player in 28 years to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. If Federer were to win, he'd be the first player in the history of professional tennis to win six Wimbledon titles in a row. Interestingly enough, both would be touching on Bjorn Bork's record.

In the early part of the final, Rafa seemed to be on the road to victory with the first two sets in hand, but Roger held on to win the third set on a tie-breaker. The fourth set also saw a tie-breaker with Federer on the winning end again after Rafa had two chances to put the game away. That tie-breaker brought out some of the best tennis I've ever seen. Then came the fifth set, which like the others, trumped the set before it. Already the longest match in Wimbledon history, Federer was trying to become the first player in 81 years to be down two sets and come back to win the final with the score 7-6 in his favour but Rafa mustered up whatever he had to push the match to 7-7 and later 7-8. It was in that game that Rafael Nadal won the match, making him the first player in 28 years to win both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year and the first Spanish tennis player in 42 years to win a Wimbledon Championship.

It was a history-making match and was by far the best tennis I've ever seen. What a remarkable show.

Well done men, well done.
