Roger Federer said on BBC Two:
"I'm exhausted. It was tough at the end. Rafa played some unbelievable shots to stay in the match. The match was played at a very high level.
"The biggest points in the match went my way. There were tight ones and long rallies. That first set was huge to get the lead and try to protect it. He came back very strongly in the second set. It was a joy to play today."

What a remarkable finish that was on Centre Court. Within MILLISECONDS of that Nadal shot edging out, we could no longer see the court from our commentary box as fans leapt to their feet. The noise was thunderous.
David Beckham says "unbelievable".
Yep.
