Carlbadistan’s Rod Laver (they guy whose shoes we have loved for years) watched the Wimbledon Finals in awe yesterday according to a Jay Paris story in the North County Times.
It was the best match I’ve ever seen,” said Laver, the greatest tennis player ever. “I know (NBC’s) John McEnroe said that, and I have to agree him. I was watching it and thinking, ‘How do you win a point?’ ”
That was something,” said Laver, mimicking other drained fans after Sunday’s 4-hour, 48-minute final. “Seeing some of those shots that Nadal was hitting, you would think he would mis-hit a bunch of them. Those shots are coming off the grass where the bounces aren’t always even and it was windy.”
He didn’t lose any records, but winner Rafael Nadal joined Bjorn Borg and Mr. Laver as being the only three players in “the Open era” to win consecutive French Open and Wimbledon titles.
