It was a great game. It seemed like Federer was getting tired, and the darkness made it very hard to see the ball. Very difficult conditions, so both players deserve immense respect for producing such an amazing game.

Well done to Nadal - he's wanted it for a long time. Federer has proven to those that wrote him off early that he's still got it in him to take the game down to the wire. It was a very even game.

+1 It probably should have been over sooner every time he got into a bit of trouble Federer kept producing the big serves again and again. Around 25 aces.

Find myself really feeling proud of Nadal. Classic match and some good words afterwards from both of them.

Anyway im off to bed till mid afternoon :p. 6:30am local time. Luckily i've got nothing to do today. :D

Federer has a bigger and better challenge than some stupid record now - beat Nadal next year. :) I always think more of sportsmen who win in a tight fight, than those who just run away with it so easily. The first shows triumph over the competition, the other shows the lack of a proper adversary.

Best Final @ Wimbledon ever, an awesome display of power and skill, a joy to watch. Well done the new leader of the pack - NADAL - !!

Federer, as good as he is, simply could not find anything to beat someone who was determined as he was on that day, but the 'new guard' is now here. Sampras made way for Federer, now Federer for Nadal.

A good year for the Spanish, Tennis and Euro 2008......awesome!!

Well done.

Not to say Nadal winning wasn't great and all, because it was. But I wouldn't call him the leader of the pack quite yet. Federer should still be ranked #1 even after losing (at least, I'm pretty sure) because of his incredible record so far this year. Now we'll see what happens at the US Open :)

Quite simple it was one of the best tennis matches ever! Comparable to the epics between Borg and McEnroe. Nobody deserved to lose yesterday. The way Federer came back after being 2 sets down was unbelievable. And Nadal's stamina, his running around the baseline to retrieve and hit winners was something else altogether.

I agree there, Nadal is not even close to his clay and grass qualities on hard court, in fact I don't remember him even reaching a final at either the US Open or Australian Open.

Federer is still best on grass and hard court, he has many qualities that Nadal will never match because they very diffrent players.

The only one right now who has the diverse range of qualities like Federer is Djokovic but he just doesnt have the iron will and mental strength to match Nadal or Federer.

I'm glad Rafa won. It's time for a new champion.

Yup, agreed. Federer really ****es me off now. Can't stand the guy. So glad Raffa beat him and took the title. Well deserved. Plus he looks better in a pair of shorts and a sleeveless LOL. :p

It was a great match, good to see Federer come back into it. I think if it wasn't for the 1st rain interruption, Nadal might have won it in straight set. The way it turned out made for a much better match. Nadal deserved to win it though, he was better on the day. If he could improve his service game to match Federer's he'd be a much more fearsome opponent.

i must say that i was really crushed seeing the guy i cheered and supported for about 4 years now gets beaten on his court, the grass court, just when he was about to break a Wimbledon record. federer played his worst tennis this year, still he has been one of the best men to ever hold a tennis racket. federer chances in the the hard court season are slim because it will probably be the djokovic season, and that's it. i must say that we could be witnessing the end of roger federer's reign probably after the end of this year.

Roger Federer = tennis history

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
