And that was a vast improvement...

The Mens Final lived up to all expectations and was a five set thriller lasting nearly 4 hours. And Roger's won it for the fifth straight time, eventually. He's blubbing like a baby. Feel a bit sorry for Rafe though, he threw everything he had at Roger but it just kept coming back. Still, he came closer this year than last year.

Great match! And now we have the Mixed Doubles, where there's Brit interested as Jamie Murray - Andy's younger brother - is in the Final :)

I really think if Rafe had had a full day or two of rest at any point in the last week, he'd have won. You could tell that for once in a five setter, he was getting tired by the fifth set and I don't think his knee would have been an issue in that case.

I suspect you're right. He did have chances in that last set though so....
