Grass ain't green anymore.........Rafa has arrived !!


On Sunday evening, the lush green mat at the famous centre court was coated red , by the sultan of Paris. The unstoppable march of Roger at Wimbledon was finally halted by his true nemesis Rafael Nadal.


The face-off lived up to all that hype. In the opinion of all the past legends and the experts this showdown has been the greatest of all times. Clocking well over 4 hours..........the game witnessed two fearsome gladiators slugging it out......doing' everything possible to out do each other. In the end tenacity prevailed over finesse.


Roger, the silent assassin must be completely devastated after this loss.........for he did all the catching up in this contest. Barring the first two sets, he really played out of his skin. But Alas!! in the end it wasn't enough and Rafa, the workhorse, the unrelenting warrior kissed the Wimbledon trophy.
