OMG! my favorite tennis player Rafael Nadal finally beat Roger Federer at the finals of Wimbledon!!! woohoo! after so many long years!! Rafa finally was able to stole the Wimby crown from Roger! talk about awesomeness!!! woohoo!

Spain is so lucky this year! after winning the championship in soccer comes the Wimby crown. i'm sure Rafa is very happy right now since he loves soccer too and now, he made history of finally defeating Roger at Wimby.

Yeah my friend your dream finally came true. Weeeeee!
It was one of the best 5 set matches I've ever seen
in men's tennis. Full of thrills and excitement.

I am sure you were sitting on the edge of your chair
and biting your nails the whole match. Hehehehe! I'm
happy your favorite player finally beat Federer at
Wimbledon. Now go have a party. LOL

oh i wish i was able to watch the match jumpinjack! but i wasn't able to! i didn't even know its schedule! but i guess the match was a Monday here in our country so i probably wouldn't be able to watch it anyway because i have work. yes! my dream finally came true! lol i'm sure the match was really exciting! just reading about it in the news makes me excited. and when Rafa went to the bleachers to hug his parents and coach and that he getting emotional, i wanted to cry too! lol i wish i can go there and celebrate with him.^__~


myLot reputation of 91/100. jumpinjack00 (1368)   ranked 2 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

Yeah I'm sure you would love to celebrate with him.
You would be in Heaven. The reason you may not have
seen it is I think it was played when it was early
in the morning where you are. Middle of the night.

You will probably find it on the web soon. Check the
official Wimbledon site. You can watch it there!!!!
That is if you can view it where you are.

myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

i wish i can watch it. even if its only the last three sets. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. jumpinjack00 (1368)   ranked 2 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

What?? It did have the entire match grrrrr. I'll look and see if I can find the entire match for you.

‹(°¿°)›


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

lol you misunderstood me jumpinjack. i haven't visited the site you gave me. i think i'll visit that over the weekend. the internet connection here at the office is kinda slow. i don't want to watch any video using this. with what i said earlier, if i can't watch the whole match, it would still be okay for me if i could at least watch the last three sets. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. jumpinjack00 (1368)   ranked 2 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

Ah okay my friend. I hope you get a chance to watch it soon. It really was an awesome match that went back and forth. A real battle.

‹(°¿°)›


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

i can't wait to watch it. i just really hope i can watch it from here.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

i tried to watch the stream jumpinjack. but it required a license and before i get the license, it was asking for an email and password that i use in the wimbledon website. and since i am not a member of that site, i can't give any details. so i couldn't watch it. but i'm still exploring the site.


myLot reputation of 91/100. jumpinjack00 (1368)   ranked 2 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

Oh that sucks!!!! I will see if it is somewhere else
on the web. I know how much you must be dying to see it.

‹(°¿°)›


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

i'm dying to see it alright. i downloaded a free two-minute highlight from the match and an interview with Rafa and it just made me want to watch the match even more.^__^;; thanks for sharing the site jumpinjack and thanks in advance for looking for other sites regarding this. thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

hey jumpinjack! i'm trying to download the match. but the file is too big! and i don't know yet if i can watch it after i download it. i mean, it might ask for a license or something again like it did when i tried to stream it.


myLot reputation of 91/100. jumpinjack00 (1368)   ranked 2 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

I'm sure the file is HUGE. But if you can download it then you shouldn't need a license. Usually you need one before you can download something like this.

Good luck with the file. I haven't found the full match anywhere else. Maybe too soon still. I'll keep looking.

‹(°¿°)›


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

i've downloaded the first part. but unfortunately, they were still asking for a license before i could play it. which means, it was no use downloading it. i have to buy it before i can play it. and i can't buy it since i don't have any credit card that i can use here in the net. oh well. i guess i have to settle with videos in youtube. doh


myLot reputation of 91/100. jumpinjack00 (1368)   ranked 2 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Wow, I can't believe they want you to pay for it. That's just crap. Be patient I'm sure it will turn up somewhere on the web soon. I'll keep an eye out for it.

myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Hey secretbear, thats wonderful news! Though am not a soccer fan, I can celebrate with you the news. My friends from spain are celebrating I ought to celebrate with them whoohoooo! Congratulations for the two wins and am wishing you many other wins in this years.

myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

thanks kwenge. although, i guess your wish for many other wins should be for Spain and Nadal and not for me. lol

I am sad today.. as my favorite has lost.. But I love the agility of Nadal, and more so, i love.. the calm composure and determination of Federer..


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

awww... at least Federer is a good sport. he'll strive harder next year. but this year, let us Nadal fans celebrate this sweet victory! woohoo! lol

4. myLot reputation of 97/100. Natrak (1363)   ranked 7 out of 19 in rafael nadal   3 months ago

It was sensational match, I watched parts of it yesterday, and one could easily tell from watching Nadal play that he wanted that victory more than anything at the moment. And I really think he deserved to win, although I love the way Federer plays. I think Nadal's next goal is to be number 1 in the world.
It is certainly great success for Spain to won that European championship in football, and I wish Alonso would be world champion in F1 for the third time, but I doubt he will win this year.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

i think every player who plays a game wants to win. and for sure, it was Nadal's dream to defeat Federer in the grass court in Wimbledon. i am so happy for Rafa. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. saivenkaat802003 (2903)   ranked 11 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago


I am sure that Fede.. will bounce back with a bang..next year..

He will not take this defeat.. so lightly..will grind over his mistakes often and often.. and will deliver the goods.. next time..

And regarding Felipe Massa.. I think he has more chances.. Isn't not?


myLot reputation of 97/100. Natrak (1363)   ranked 7 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

You are right saivenkaat, but I believe Kimi and Lewis Hamilton have better chance to win this year. Maybe I just don't like F. Masa's driving style.
I am Alonso's fan, but he doesn't have a slightest chance this year. I think the winning combination would be Alonso + Ferrari. thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

i'm sure Federer will be more than his best next year. but i'm also sure that Rafa will be prepared for him. lol
wow. talk about F1 fans! you two surely are racing fans! happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. saivenkaat802003 (2903)   ranked 11 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago


Hi Secretbear, When compared to F1, i believe.. Tennnis is nothing.. whereas in F1, every move has to be to the finest of the perfection.. I am crazy about the speed with which the cars are driven..

And friend Natrak.. I forget Lewis Hamilton.. He is Awesome.. I think he is equally great to that of Ayoton Senna..


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

i don't like racing that much. i only enjoy it on movies like The Fast and the Furious, etc. happy but sometimes i read news about it that concerns our local racers. and i have this crush on a young racer, Matteo Guidicelli. he's a great racer and handsome too. lol i like tennis more than racing though. wink

Cool! I am happy that you are happy!!!!!

thanks so much jill. happy

 
6. myLot reputation of 98/100. marababe (1458)   ranked 3 out of 19 in rafael nadal   3 months ago

It's nice to see someone happy here. But I have to say, I am a Federer girl. I finished the game until 4:30 am here, I pulled an all nighter just to watch this and I got so frustrated on how Roger lost. I love Nadal too but not against Federer.
It was a nice match though. I almost got a heart attack from the excitement. I was basically screaming and cheering at home, alone!lol I was jumping around and I can barely breathe especially during the last set. Poor Roger. Due to my frustration, I dreamed about the match. I turned off the TV when Nadal was already lying on the ground and went straight to bed. Anyway, Nadal did good. I think he played really well. I'm not really bitter about it and I'm not saying that he's not a great player but Federer could've done a lot better than what he just did to lose.


myLot reputation of 97/100. saivenkaat802003 (2903)   ranked 11 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

Another fan of Roger, like me.. Don't worry..Marababe.. Fede.. will be crowned the Grand slam next year.. He will be raining aces.. to the opponents..when he takes the centre court next year. thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

lol i wish i was there watching with you! we'd probably be arguing who would win! LOL and we'd probably be cheering and screaming at the same time waking up the neighbors! lol

i beg to disagree saiven. Rafa would be there, stronger than ever to defend his title! woohoo! lol

 
7. myLot reputation of 96/100. tholitz (687)   ranked 14 out of 19 in rafael nadal   3 months ago

This is another big win for Rafael Nadal. After beating Roger Federer in the French Open, he do it again in Wimbledon. What makes this more precious was he beaten him in his preferred court, where he holds the crown since 2002. Also Roger Federer was playing his best tennis in the tournament, almost unbeatable (correct me but I think he did not dropped any sets in the tournament) in his breezed to the finals. Though their rivalry can be consider as classic already where Roger Federer still holds the edge in term of men's ranking, maybe this win will start the rise and claim of Rafael Nadal to the number 1 spot.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

This is really a big win for Rafa. and yeah, it is more special because he was the one to cut Roger's winning streak in the grass court and in Wimbledon. and Rafa is the only man since 1980 to have won the French Open and the Wimbledon on the same year. Rafa didn't just make a big win, he made history. happy and i hope the this is really his start to climb in the number one spot. thumbup

 
8. myLot reputation of 91/100. fredgame (1074)   ranked 8 out of 19 in rafael nadal   3 months ago

well, that was a fantastic win besides winning the French open too. he's the first to win two big trophies in the same year and that of the soccer champions Spain football team. this was a great historic moment for spain and caused for greater celebration.


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

yeah! really fantastic moment for Spain. Rafa made history. the soccer team too made history. this is a great event for their sport history.

 
9. myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal   3 months ago

Yeah^_^ I have read it on the papers too, but too bad i din manage to watch the match of the century, a record breaking match that lasted for 4hrs48mins.. lol^_^ I only managed to watch till the 3rd set and i have to sleep.. lol=D

And wat i can say is that, rafa has got alot of determination and strength to win the epic match and he's truly a well deserved winner^_^


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

you slept during the match and didn't finish it? how could you kun?? it was once in a lifetime match! it was the finals! if it was the quarterfinals or semifinals it would be understandable if you didn't finish it. lol anyway, yeah, Rafa has that determination. Roger always defeats him in Wimby and he probably got tired of it.^__^


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  3 months ago

Because i had to wake up early the next day and so i have to give up watching it.. hehe^_^ I wonder if they will show that classic match between the 2 again on star sports or ESPN.. hehe^_^

YEah, Rafa has always been losing to roger in the finals of other tournaments, but this win is especially special for rafa.. haha^_^ Because he is a spanish.. hehe


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

i see. i'm sure they will show a replay of the match. you can check out the official site of Wimbledon (look at response of jumpinjack, he gave me the web address). you can download the match there. happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

wow.. downloading of the whole match?? I think it's gonna take hours.. lol^_^ I guess i will just wait for the replay in tv.. hehe^_^


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

yeah. its a big file. and another bad thing is, you can't play it without purchasing it. which means its not free. i wish there's a video of the finals in youtube. happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

I would rather wait.. lol^_^ Youtube should have the match i think.. hehe^_^ BUt maybe not again, as youtube is full of wrestling and soccer fans.. lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

there are videos of the match in youtube but of course its not the whole match. i wish someone would upload the whole match, or just the final set of the match. happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

haha.. I only need to watch the last 3 sets, and of course, if they can take out the part whereby it's raining.. LOL


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

i was able to watch the last part kun. at least the last 10 minutes of the last set. i felt that every people there was holding their breath. lol and Nadal was great! he didn't lose control and he didn't lose hope. i was kinda sad for Federer. and he really looked disappointed and pissed at himself. lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Like i say, nadal ahas got the stength and determination while federrer is relying on his experience on the big stage.. haha


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

maybe. but their age difference is not that great right? federer is only a few years older than nadal.


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Nadal is 22, while roger is 28.. haha.. Difference of 6 yrs, and that's y roger needs experience while nadal has the strength.. hehe


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

six years.. does that put a gap in their strength? i guess a 22-year old guy is much stronger than a 28-year old guy. age really matters huh?^__^;;


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Yup.. Age does really matter, especially in sports.. haha.. BUt experience is equally important too, but too bad, in this match, strength prevail over experience^_^ hehe


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

hmmm... good thing Rafa was in good condition then and without any injuries. his strength really did prevail over Federer's experiences. maybe Federer also got over confident on his ability. he never expected that Nadal can improve after a few years of getting beaten. Federer must have thought that this year was going to be the same as the last few years that he beat Nadal. happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

haha.. yeah.. Alot of retired great tennis players have said that nadal's skills has improved after the last fench open and they actually backed him to win this wimbledon open.. haha..

Even after the match, roger also said that nadal deserves to win as he din expect nadal to play so well after the french open.. hehe^_^


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

i've also read in the papers that there are lots of people who believe that Nadal is really the number 1 seeded now and not Federer. Federer only remains in the number 1 spot because of his over all points in the ATP rankings.


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

YUp.. andal is improving while roger is not.. MAybe of his illness that affected him ealier in the year, enables nadal to catch up on him.. haha


myLot reputation of 97/100. secretbear (4705)   ranked 1 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Federer had an injury earlier this year? Nadal also had an injury this year right?


myLot reputation of 93/100. kun2349 (3090)   ranked 4 out of 19 in rafael nadal  2 months ago

Roger caught a virus which is quite serious and there were reports that he might be be abale to play tennis again due to that virus.. But luckily he recovered quite well and went oon the win more titles.. haha..

As for nadal, i'm not too sure..
