Product Description
Roger Federer retained his crown as king of Wimbledon on Sunday 8th July 2007, beating young Spanish prince Rafael Nadal to secure his fifth consecutive title, matching the legendary reign of the watching Bjorn Borg, the king of this court in a previous era.The 7-6 (9-7) 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 2-6 6-2 victory he achieved followed a feast of tennis fit for any king. At three hours and 45 minutes, it was the third longest men's single final in Wimbledon's history and the most thrilling climax to the Championships since Goran Ivanisevic's dramatic victory in front of a raucous third Monday Centre Court crowd in 2001. Federer was at his very best, and he certainly needed to be to hold at bay the tigerish challenge of the Spanish 21-year-old. Last year Nadal lost here in four sets, this time he took the master of grass court tennis the full distance. In a breathtaking fifth set Nadal, who had undergone treatment to his right knee towards the end of the previous set, twice held two break points. But twice Federer rose magnificently to the challenge, fighting off the danger before he broke Nadal for what proved to be a crucial 4-2 lead.

 DVD has full 260 minute match April 25, 2008

This is an absolute classic tennis match - one of the best I've ever seen. The fifth set will surely go down in tennis history.
The DVD is incorrectly listed on Amazon as 180 minutes and 1 disc. It is in fact 260 minutes (the full length) and comes on 2 discs. The DVD also features 16:9 anamorphic widescreen video (not full screen format). The contents of the DVD are as follows:
Disc 1 (115 minutes)
1. Interviews and Warmups
2. First Set
3. Second Set
Disc 2 (154 minutes)
1. Third Set
2. Fourth Set
3. Fifth Set
4. Trophy Presentations
5. Borg Congraulates Federer
The commentary appears to be the UK BBC commentary which includes some comments from Jimmy Connors (I think). If they could have included the John McEnroe commentary that was provided in the US CBS broadcast as an audio option, this disc would have been absolutely perfect!

This is a wonderful remembrance of Roger Federer winning the Wimbledon tennis tournament in 2007. It is exciting even though I knew the ending. Ihave watched it several times and will watch it over and over. Thanks for offering it Amazon!!!
 Shame about length December 20, 2007

Great match, of course. I don't have the item yet but the product specs say it's a 3 hour DVD and the match lasted 3 hrs 45 minutes. So a great pity it's not provided in real time (as in the Federer v Sampras Wimbledon DVD). Would have made a big difference in terms of reliving the dramatic buildup and tension.
