The new Wimbledon champion is....

...RAFAEL NADAL!

...*gasp*...Would you believe it? The Clay Court King is now the Grass Court King! Federer, the defending champion was beaten 6-4, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 9-7 in an absolute thriller of a final. What an upset, as Federer was on a roll coming into the finals.

Well, this just shows that life is anything but predictable.

Oh well, at least Lewis Hamilton winning the British Grand Prix in Silverstone doesn't come much as too big a surprise. But he's also the underdog coming into the race. Must say though, his winning margin of 68.6 seconds is incredible.

Incredible day for sportsmen and the underdogs to achieve the improbable, not impossible. Just like Spain winning EURO 2008...anyone gave them a chance when they played their 1st game?

Life is full of surprises.
