NH: Wimbledon final

Managed to score myself a ticket for the men's final today, when I collected it I discovered I was sitting in the second row!!

Amazing match, the way those guys hit the ball and move around the court is phenomenal, it's impossible not to like both of those guys and even though I was going for Feds I was stoked for Rafa when he got up (in extremely dark conditions). Any other tennis fans out there catch the match?

Just rolled into work now (9:30) Billo after trying to stay up and watch the match which I couldn't do although I did get up at different parts in the night to check on the score. It was the longest final in Wimbledon history.

How'd you score tickets to the final! Very envious. You certainly got your moneys worth. It seemed as if Federer just couldn't match Rafa from the back of the court - he puts too much pace and topspin on that forehand. It has to be one of the best if not the best forehand in tennis history.

Rat10, my flatmate managed to get resale tickets, only got them on Friday and didn't know where they were going to be, it's fair to say there was quite the high five party when we discovered we were 2nd row!

Including rain delays it went for about 7 hours, and if it wasn't getting dark I could happily have watched for another couple more, it was just that good. I took over 1000 photos so I'll email you a link when I put them on line (obviously not the entire 1000).

Still pumped.
