Sorry I missed this!
I've been following Wimbledon for more than 50 years but this year was travelling and dealing with family marriages and deaths and didn't give it a thought.
I heard the result on BBC news and it was obviously something very, very special.. Both the players were extremely respectful of their opponent in the radio interview.
As a Czech exile, for me the most exciting was in 1954 when the ageing 11th seeded other Czech exile Jaroslav Drobny beat a very young Ken Rosewall in a 4 set-match of 58 games.. Another marathon.

  Sorry that you missed this one gamahuche, it really was a great match . I was crying at one point and screaming at the next.
  I use to be a Federer fan until I started hearing this Nadal name. With him being from Spain and all it was only natural to start cheering for Rafa..
