And the 2007 men's Wimbledon Champion is....

Roger Federer:) 5th time in a row that is. He beat Rafael Nadal in a very tough, tight 5 setter (first one ever for Roger at this particular tournament).

There was a lot of close calls in this match and there were plenty of times where Nadal looked like he would get away with it, but Roger's superb serve got him out of trouble continuously on all the big points.

I really have to give credit to Nadal, he's one hell of a competitor!. He remains the only player in the men's draw who can ruffle Roger's feathers and make him loose his cool. Yep, Rafa is definitely Rogers greatest rival.

It was definitely too close for comfort, but Roger Federer once again came through in the clinch. Winning his 5th straight Wimbledon title and becoming a part of history as only the second man in the open era (Bjorn Borg being the first) to win this tournament 5 times consecutively. Congratulations Roger! :). Here's hoping for a lucky number 6 in 2008.
