Rafael Nadal is again the Mens singles champion at Wimbledon. Nadal defeated Tomas Berdych 6-3 7-5 6-4. Nadal played some very solid tennis today, but Berdych just looked a little over-awed and didn’t play his best tennis today.

Nadal is now tied with Fred Perry, Ken Rosewall, Jimmy Connors, Ivan Lendl and Andre Agassi on the all-time Grand Slam list with his eight major titles. However, if I was a betting man I would put my money on Nadal to move to nine Grand Slam titles at this years US Open.

Yesterday Roger defeated Andy Murray in straight sets 6-2 7-5 6-2, to take the title. Federer is the first man since Bill Tilden in the 1920s to win five consecutive US Open titles.

Murray was never really in the match from the outset. Federer was quick to gain an early break in the first set and then never looked back. At one stage it was 2-2 in the first set, then Federer won 6 quick games to lead 6-2 2-0. Murray didn’t really bring his game to the court today, and Federer just seemed to have all the answers to whatever he did.

It was always going to be tough on Murray, his first Grand Slam final, and it was against one of the most professional and experienced players on tour. Federer was never going to lose this match, even though Murray did lead 2-1 in head to heads.

Congratulation Roger Federer!
