... in a marathon 5-setter that was delayed several times by rain, they finish a few mintues before darkness (no lights at Wimbeldon) right about 9:15 PM local time.

6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7


First guy to win French & Wimbeldon together since Bjorn Borg - whose now silver-haired self was sitting court-side.

Objectively, probably one of the greatest matches ever. I have a hard time acknowledging that considering how unlikeable Nadal is. With the whiny face and the capri pants.
