This is absolutely incredible. Federer was down two sets. Won the third in a tiebreak.

Nadal had two championship points in the fourth set tiebreak after having been up 4-1, and Federer beat him back.

I thought I'd post this discussion thread for what is unquestionably one of the best matches I've ever seen.

Discuss away!

UPDATE: The rain has come again with a 2-2 tie in the final set. This will now almost certainly result in the Championship being concluded tomorrow; that is, unless the Brits have figured out how to reverse the rotation of the Earth.

UPDATE II: The players have returned to the court. There will be a brief warm-up period. (3:19EDT)

UPDATE III. It's all over. The greatest ~~championship~~ match I've ever seen. Congratulations to Rafael Nadal.

6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-7 (8), 9-7.
