I just finished watching the Federer-Nadal Championship match from Wimbledon.
Well, I watched as much as I could.
Since Aimee and I had much to do on Sunday morning, I recorded the match and planned to watch it on Sunday night.
Around 7:30 pm we popped in the DVD and settled down to watch a great tennis match. As you may know, the start was delayed by rain. Then, there was another rain delay in the third set.
After Federer won the fourth set tiebreaker to force a fifth I knew we had a problem. Our recording was only six hours long and this match was already five and a half hours past the scheduled start time.
As I was watching the fifth set, with time running out, the rain came again. That's when the recording ran out.....2-2 in the fifth.
My hope was that this delay would be a long one so that it would be too dark to continue and they'd have to play the rest of the match on Monday.
I checked online..........no such luck.
Nadal won the longest Mens Final ever, 9-7 in the fifth. Apparently, the match was only moments away from being suspended for darkness when it ended. So, I missed the end.
That's the way it goes. Wimbledon.org and NBCSports.com both have video of the match available, but I would have liked to have seen it 'live.'
