It had to go five sets but the men’s Wimbledon Championships final did not disappoint as Spain’s Rafael Nadal beat the reigning champion Roger Federer 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7 to become the 2008 Wimbledon Champion.

The Wimbledon win is Nadal’s first, and with the victory Nadal becomes the first player since Bjorn Borg (1980) to win both the French Open and Wimbledon back-to-back.

Over on the women’s side it was big sister Venus Williams who triumphed over Serena 7-5, 6-4 to win her fifth Wimbledon title. When asked how she felt losing to her older sister, here’s what Serena had to say: “Well, it says a lot about her, I mean, she’s won five Wimbledons now. She’s beaten me on grass now, so that definitely says a lot.”
