Don't get me wrong - it was an exciting match, and both players showed a ton of heart and made great shots. But for a match to be considered one of the all-time greats (John McEnroe called it the greatest tennis match he'd ever witnessed), both players have to be playing at the absolute top of their games. Nadal was close to his, but Federer made way too many unforced errors, and his focus came and went at times.

I was rooting for Nadal, but the entire time, I felt as though Federer could have won the match if he just got it together mentally and focused. Most of the points on Nadal's serve had the players on even footing after the return, while Federer's had far more service winners, aces and winners on weak returns.

It was still a thrilling match for the highest stakes imaginable - Wimbledon Final which could have been Federer's sixth straight (never been done except 100 years ago when it was totally different) or Nadal's back to back wins in the French and Wimbledon - something not done since Bjorn Borg in 1980.

But Federer wasn't at the top of his game, and not all of it had to do with Nadal.
