Amelie Mauresmo finally held back her nerves and added greatest of the Slams(Wimbledon) to the Australian Open she lifted in January. Mauresmo beat French open champion Justine Henin-Hardene and also confirming her status as world number one. Mauresmo came back after losing the first set and winning other two lifting her first wimbledon trophy. The score line read 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 after the end of the match.
Men’s final was a clash between two big guns of men tennis, Roger Federer the three time wimbledon champion and Rafael Nadal the french open champion. Well Roger Federer rules on Grass surface as Nadal rules on Clay. Federer was looking for a french open final revenge with Nadal where he was defeated. Also Nadal knows that he is the only player who can be a threat to the champion. Federer was looking for a fourth straight win at wimbledon and enter into record books along side of Bjorn Borg and Pete Sampras. Federer won the first set and second set went to the tie break which Nadal lost inspite of taking a lead in it. The third set was agian decided on a Tie Breaker but this time Nadal won it. But in the fourth set Roger Federer proved why he is the king of grass by taking the fourth set and thus the fourth wimbledon title. Federer’s 6-0, 7-6, 6-7, 6-3 victory lasted for two hours and five minutes.
The 120th wimbledon championship was a success with both number one seeds lifting the trophy. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will hopefully be playing each other again in the US Open at Flushing meadows. What a match that is gonna be with both champs playing on the surface that is not their favourite. I am definately looking forward to that match.
