We are all geniuses. We correctly predicted the outcome of Wimbeldon 2007, as if it were hard. Though, I must say, Nadal gave Federer a scare. It took five sets to put away the "young gun" and even Federer had to admit that Nadal is improving at a scary rate. The younger of the two (Nadal) is not even in his prime yet. Federer should quickly get his four more grand slam titles before Nadal starts stealing them.

The match was fantastic to watch, though I can only attest for the final set. I incorrectly set my DVR to regular NBC and refuse to watch it blurrified. So, I checked the HD channel and came in right as it was 1-1 in the fifth set.

Nadal looked tough and had Federer on the ropes for a break twice 15-40 (which is really bad for the Swiss star), but Federer pounded his way out both times and served a few aces in between to take the lead 5-3. From there, Nadal's composure was shot and the match was all but over.

A neat sidenote: Nike put on a really cool commercial with Tiger doing the voice over work all about Federer. At the end, Tiger says: "Roger Federer, 11 major titles and counting. Tiger Woods, 12 major titles and counting. Try to keep up, buddy." It was cool in the sense that we are living through an age where two men in different sports are creating new forms of greatness.

That is all.
