Bjorn Borg who once had won five consecutive champions at Wimbledon from 1976 to 1980 predicts that Nadal will be very likely to win this year. However, after seeing Federer's performances at Wimbledon, he has changed his mind, believing that Federer will surpass him to win his sixth champion tomorrow. Really interesting! Why did he change his mind so quickly? Suppose you were asked to predict the champion of 2008 Wimbledon, who will you say, Federer or Nadal? It is a little bit hard since they both have done very well this year. Federer enters the final without losing one set to his rivals. In addition, he has expanded his voctories on grass to 65 games. Nadal just lost one set. However, he did very well when playing Murray. Even though he was injured, he still beat Murray to enter the semi-final. If you have a look at their data in the semi-finals, you will find that they almost beat their rivals with same result (6-3/7-6(3)/6-4 and 6-1/7-6(3)/6-4). As for me, I still wish Federer could win since I am a fan of him. On the other hand, if he can win, he will set a new record at Wimbledon---winning six consecutive champions at Wimbledon. What are your choice, Federer or Nadal? Plese give your vote and let's see who will win. |

| He was defeated by Nadal. This is what I won't to see. However, Nadal really deserved the champion because he performed very well. "As for me, I still wish Federer could win since I am a fan of him. On the other hand, if he can win, he will set a new record at Wimbledon---winning six consecutive champions at Wimbledon." Now Nadal sets a new record. He becomes the first one who consecutively won French and Wilmbledon Grand Slams. Congratulations to him. These two guys are destinied to be enemies. Last year, Federer defeated Nadal at Hamburg, ending Nadal's 81 winnings on clay. This time, Nadal ended Federer's 65 winnings on grass, also his dream to win six consecutive champions at Wimbledon. |

| >>Now Nadal sets a new record. He becomes the first one who consecutively won French and Wilmbledon Grand Slams. Congratulations to him.<< Not so fast Kevin. Nadal is the first one *since Borg* to win back to back French and Wimbledon titles. Borg did it many times. >> These two guys are destinied to be enemies.<< Enemies is a rather strong word for this situation. Rivals, would be more suitable.

| Thanks for correcting me, Canadaguy. Here I am in China and I couldn't open Wiki. By the way, I don't like Borg. It seems that he was a person who blended with the wind. Bofore Wimbledon, he predicted that Nadal would win. When the Wimbledon started, he changed his mind and said that Federer would win. However, Federer was defeated by Nadal. He was more like a "doomsayer". |

His record is at stake: 5 Wimbledon titles and 6 French titles. So although he wishes Federer and Nadal well, he would still like to see his records stay intact. By having Nadal win Wimbledon this year, his 5-year record of consecutive wins remains tied with Federer. So he can still breathe a sigh of relief because it will probably take many years before someone comes along to challenge the feat again. |
