#1 takes on #2
A tradition I have on the July 4th weekend is getting up to see NBC’s “Breakfast At Wimbledon” coverage of the Men’s Finals.
Again this year, my favorite player, Roger Federer, is competing for the championship. Federer was born in Basel, Switzerland. It’s the hometown of part of my family. He’s trying for his sixth straight title at the All England Club.
Federer is taking on Rafeal Nadal, who’s currently serving for a set point. Nadal and Federer are no strangers to each other. They’ve faced off at the net for six Grand Slam title matches. Federer is currently ranked number one and Nadal is number two.
They’re meeting for their third consecutive Wimbledon final. Nadal has never taken a championship from Federer at Wimbledon.
We’ll see how things play out today. Nadal took the first set, now Federer is leading on the second set.
