If anyone thought Nadal would beat Federer comfortable on grass court, his joy was short-lived! Federer is always capable of staging a comeback at any point of the match, which is exactly what he did. Both players firmly held onto their respective serves in the set. There was a rain delay of  30 minutes while Federer was 5-4 up in the set on Nadal’s serve. However, after resuming the match, Nadal successfully held his serve and the set went into the tie-breaker. Federer successfully battled through the tie-breaker and landed an ace in the end to win it 7-5. NADAL 2 FEDERER 1
