Too Good!

Okay, so it's been awhile since I (Manish) actually posted an entry. I also know that Wimbledon was a long time ago, but the men's final was so great that I still have to write about it. The match had everything -- drama, suspense, horror, the moral at the end of the story. No, wait, this wasn't (quite) a movie. It did have countless great points, rain delays, championship points saved, an excitable crowd, extra innings (so to speak), looming darkness, and two humble champions when it was all said and done.

Of course, as we were watching, we didn't imagine that people would later call it the greatest Wimbledon match ever. I remember watching last year's final on TV. At this point, it's really hard to compare the two since there's so much you miss either way. I definitely want to see the TV broadcast of the match (hopefully in HD), though I have no idea if that will actually help me pick a favorite. What I do know is that subsequent Wimbledons will have a hard time living up to this type of match in a final.
