The most prestigious tennis tournament is over. Today, Novak Djokovic beat Roger Federer in the men's final at
Wimbledon. The match lasted close to 4 hours, and it was a tight five setter. Roger Federer was outlasted by Novak Djokovic.
Novak was serving for the match in the fourth set, but Roger won the final five games of that set.
Finally, Roger lost the last game of the match on serve. Novak won his second title, and Roger showed class in the loss.
Both players have a good friendship, which is uncanny on the ATP tour. Roger played a great grass court season, by winning in
Halle, Germany. He played really well at Wimbledon, by making the finals. "RF" will be back next year to fight for that eighth title in England.
As for the women's side, Petra Kvitova won her second wimbledon title. She beat Eugenie Bouchard in the finals, and this
fortnight was replete with upsets for the women. Eugenie Bouchard pulled off two major upsets, by beating Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep. Eugenie had made the semifinals, at the French Open and Australian Open in 2014. She is referred to as " 'Genie ", as a nickname.
Lastly, The Royal Box had Prince William and his wife Kate, David Beckham and actors Bradley Cooper, Samuel L. Jackson and Chris Hemsworth. Also, Orlando Bloom and other stars were in attendance. Wimbledon brings out the celebrities. :)
