Federer makes it happen! Equals Bjorn Borg’s record

Would anyone ask for more? The match had everything, just like a typical bollywood movie.

Before the final, few of us thought that Djokovic would reach the finals beating Nadal in the semi-final, as Djokovic was playing very good tennis and was even compared to Federer. But after winning the trophy as Federer said, “There should be an element of luck”, Djokovic was injured and Nadal won the match without even sweating.

When it comes to Federer, it was just another walk in the lawn to the finals, where he then met his beloved rival. In general rivalry makes things interesting and in tennis it produces a great match.

Federer was the hot favourite for winning the title but Nadal always makes his presence felt. The best part of the Nadal is that he always makes Federer to play an extra shot to win a point and this is exciting to see because Federer matches have always been one sided.

The pressure of equaling the Bjorn Borg’s record of winning five consecutive Wimbeldon titles was always on Federer (but as we know he never shows it) whereas Radal was confident and eager to beat him on grass after wining French Open convincingly.

The first set belonged to Federer all the way as he dictated most of the play: the drama part comes now when Federer served on his third set point at 6-5 in the tie break, a Nadal backhand was called out but he challenged the decision and Hawkeye showed it had touched the line but Federer finally took the set with 8-6 on the scoreboard. In the second set Nadal came back strongly and showed us what he is made of? He broke the champion’s serve and took the set with the score-line 6-4.

The battle was surely boiling up at that moment with both taking a set each. It was in the midst of a great match. The defending champion took the third set by winning the tie break again but Nadal with his powerful play was back to push away Federer. It is then in the fourth set, the champion looked vulnerable. There were many unforced errors which made Nadal take the set 6-2.

The intermission part comes now, leaving everybody clueless on who will win the match! By watching Nadal’s play in the fourth set most of us expected him to win but the defending champion Federer made it happen. The sentiment scene in the story comes now when Federer wins his championship point and cries. He won his fifth consecutive Wimbeldon title but with a bit of luck and with a hiccup.
