Wimbledon

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

Some numbers:

His 4th consecutive Wimbledon title

Most ever Wimbledon titles (7 - shares this with Williams Renshaw)

Has won for the 53rd time in 54 matches at the All England Club

He was not broken in his last 87 service games

I really thought Rafter had this one with the second set going to tie break after already winning the first set on tie breaks. He just buckled and Sampras roared back and never looked back. I don't know if he will be considered the best ever but he certainly has the best serve ever and he knows how to handle pressure.

His greatest challenge now will be to finally win in a French Open.
