WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Roger Federer hit an overhead smash to capture his fifth straight Wimbledon title. He then collapsed to his knees in jubilation and relief - just as Bjorn Borg used to do. Federer played - and won - his first five-setter in a Grand Slam final, beating nemesis Rafael Nadal 7-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2 Sunday for his 11th major title.

Federer is the first man to win five straight titles at the All England Club since Borg did it from 1976-80. The Swede watched the match from the Royal Box with other past champions, and applauded as Federer fell to the ground after his smash on match point.

He's pretty tough. I predict Nadal will take it next year--he's made alot of improvements to his game. And Gasquet is gonna be trouble, too.

You might be right about him being the best player--he's only 25 and racking up the trophys. I think Borg retired too early...he was pretty good.
