Centre Court At Wimbledon

Sitting in the stands all day to await the outcome of one of the longest matches ever must have been tiresome and if the fans are anything like me, they must have destroyed their manicures and now have stubs at the ends or their wrist.

 

Centre Court At Wimbledon

Can’t believe the King will no longer be

Entering the gates with his royalty

Nadal wielded his venomous racket

To dethrone Federer from the winner’s Jacket

Rally after rally in a dramatic championship

Every nail biting point, every biting of the lip

Couldn’t believe the match took so incredibly long

Once the first 2 sets were Nadal’s there was a victory song

Until the King won the following 2, each by tie breaker

Rafael was no longer the certain taker

This match was nothing like the day before

A match when Venus in sets didn’t need four

The decision was clear in straight sets of three

When Serena started, it seemed clear it’ll be she

I was overjoyed that big sister got 5 straight

Many believe that Serena has time and can wait

But Roger deserved his consecutive six

Lots of fans believed he was the best in the mix

Eventually though Nadal went up to 9

Defeating Federer who was then 2 points behind

On a rainy day, more hours playing than any other one

Nadal was crowned the new Wimbledon Champion
