Federer Still Number One

After winning today's men's final at Wimbledon, Roger Federer retains his number one world ranking. But his finale opponent, Rafael Nadal, who won the last two French Open tournaments, is proving to be a worthy rival.

Before Wimbledon, the young Spaniard had beaten Federer in their last four meetings and was 6-1 overall. However, Nadal was not expected to make the Wimbledon final because he did not have much experience on the grass court. He certainly was not expected to beat Andre Agassi in the third round. If anything, Nadal's Wimbledon performance at Wimbledon this year bodes well for the future of tennis, and the finale between he and Federer may be the start of a long-term rivalry.
