This thread deserved a bump.

Rafael Nadal won his second Wimbledon last sunday. He dominated all the way from the quaters, beating the likes of Soderling, Murray and Berdych in the final. He's obviously the number 1 player in the world and will most likely retain his spot at the end of 2010.

Now Nadal has won 8 GS (Federer has 16) at the young age of 24. Roger is on 16 at still young age of 29. If Rafa's knees leave Rafa alone, he's got a fair shot to surpass Roger.

Nadal now shares the same place in tennis history with: Mcenore, Agassi and Ivan Lendl.

Congrats to Rafa Nadal for achieving the career grand slam.
He played an amazing tournament. In my opinion he really improved his service over the last months.

I know it's a tad late but congrats to Federer for winning yet another tite at the 02. He played brilliantly, and by the way Nadal played against Murray, I thought it was going to be a close call.

But Federer kept his head down, and played the game rather than the player and it payed off. I like Nadals style alot, he seems very strong like a bull, but Federer has got a pure tennis brain, and makes better decisions.

I don't rate Murray at all, he reminds me of Tim Henman, never quite making it but always has alot of promise. When you have guys like Federer and Nadal who are on top of their game, it's going to be hard for regular players to come through.

All hail king Federer.
