He had to sweat to do it though, a final score of 3/2 with partials: 6/4, 6/4, 6/7(5/7), 6/7 (8/10) e 9/7.
Federer lost in his own backyard, also breaking a streak of 65 straight wins on grass. However he is still ranked #1, but Nadal is much closer now. The match had to be interrupted due to heavy rain when the Spaniard was already ahead. After the break the Swiss seemed to have turned the match against his opponent when lost of concentration saw him lose grip of the situation and a tight battle til the end would see out the winner.
Bad year for Roger Federer, who hasn't won a single Grand Slam or Master yet.
