2009 WIMBLEDON TENNIS PREVIEW:
The 2008 Wimbledon men's finals has been described by some tennis experts as one of the greatest major finals in tennis history. Long-time rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal battled for five grueling sets late into the London night. When Nadal finally claimed the final set (9-7) the famous Centre Court at Wimbledon was cloaked in darkness. The lack of light did not stop the fans from applauding these two great championsp; or Nadal from celebrating his epic victory with family and friends.

The main contenders in the men's category are Roger Federrer, Andy Roddick, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and many more.
