There is no tie break option in the last game of a final match at Wimbledon, so the set played on until one player had 2 games more than the other, and that player was ..... NADAL!!!!
A real nail biter. I can't count how many times in the last 3 sets Nadal was 3 match points up and then lost in a tie break.
Nadal climbed up to hug is dad and mum in the Players Box. Then he bounded across the roof over the players tunnel and leapt into the Royal Box!!! Very un-British behaviour LMAO
However, Manuel Santana (the last Spaniard to win Wimbledon, in 1966, 42 years ago!) was sitting 'proudly perched in the front row of the Royal Box'. So I guess Nadal had a good excuse for leaping over protocol! :D
