That was Close: 7-6 (9-7) Federer

Early on, Nadal's nerves got the best of him. However, once he settled in, there were some great points. Federer pulled it out in a tiebreaker. Here are some thoughts I had during the set:

-Federer has more "Centre Court Mojo" than Nadal. Uh, thanks NBC. (BTW, has Andy Roddick found his mojo yet?)

-Last year Federer has the styling white jacket. This year he has a white bag to acompany it--kind of looks like one Paris Hilton would have. Federer's obsession with fashion is getting a bit strange.

-ING has great commericals.

-According to Johnny Mac, Nadal has "never physcially tired." Does that mean Nadal never sleeps?

-In his streak of 4 straight titles, Federer has never gone to a fifth set.

-Is this the NFL? With the tiebreaker at 6-5, it looked like Nadal hit a ball out and Federer had won the set. However, an official review showed that the ball was in and the tiebreaker went on.

I do believe Johnny Mac said he had never seen Nadal physically tired. As in, he had never watched a tennis match where Nadal looked physically tired. Now, unless Johnny Mac was sitting outside Rafa's bedroom in a creepy stalkerish way, his statement would be true.
