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

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • 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.
