Five in a Row for Federer, Brendan Loses

On Centre Court on Sunday, Roger Federer won the Wimbledon Gentlemen's Championship with a thrilling five-set victory over his nemesis Rafael Nadal. Nadal, who bet Federer less than a month prior in the finals of the French Open, had Federer return the favor in the next Grand Slam. Federer netted his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title, tying the record held by the great Swed Bjorn Borg. With the victory, Roger now has 11 Grand Slam Championships placing him only behind tennis icons Roy Emerson (12) and Pete Sampras (14). There is some sad news associated with this story. Brendan, who on Friday predicted Nadal would win, now must eat "crow" as they would say due to my prophetic prediction of Federer and his lackluster pick of Nadal. Sorry B.
