Federer WON again!

NEWS 2 USE:-
The top-ranked Swiss player was pushed to limit in a Grand Slam final for the first time, but he held on to win 7-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2 for his 11th major title.
Federer is the first man to win five straight titles at the All England Club since Bjorn Borg did it from 1976-80. The Swede watched the match from the Royal Box with other past champions, and applauded as Federer fell to ground after an overhead smash on match point.
Federer also stretched his grass-court winning streak to 53 and his Wimbledon winning streak to 34. He is now tied for third on the career list with 11 major titles. Borg and Rod Laver also have 11, trailing Pete Sampras' 14 and Roy Emerson's 12.

Federer finished the match with 24 aces, 65 winners and 34 unforced errors. Nadal had 50 winners and 24 unforced errors.
Nadal also used the "Hawk-Eye" replay technology, which is making its debut at Wimbledon, to great effect throughout the match. One time, a call reversal in the fourth set infuriated Federer so much that he complained to the chair umpire after being broken for the fourth time.
"It's killing me today," Federer said after sitting down during the changeover.
