After a four hour, 48 minute match, Raphael Nadal finally fended off five-time defending Wimbledon champion Rodger Federer by holding on 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7. And Federer, perhaps one of the classiest athletes to play the game, was gracious in his praise and perhaps poignant in light of the weight of the match. But for now the stage and the crown belongs to the 22-year-old Spaniard. It will be a match that will be etched in the history books forever, just like the Borg and McEnroe match that proceeded nearly three decades ago.
Lyric of the week:Go farther
Go further
Go harder
Is that not why we came?
And if not, then why bother?
-Jay Z, “Mr. Carter”
Addressed to Young Carter? Wayne’s come a long way to land in Jay’s front seat.
Song of the week:
Clap Again – Akon
Amphetamines are apparently a distant past 35-year-old Senegal-born product. Outstanding hook, with violin samples, keyboard entries, and handclaps. It's message? Enjoy life. One verse: So if your life is twisted and ain't going right/Just forget about it tonight I just wanna make you happy. Finally a club banger that can be understood.
