There’s a saying in tennis that 7-5 sets are always mental, and this one certainly seemed to be that way.
Wimbledon Final: No. 2 Rafael Nadal Wins Second Set 7-5, Leads Two Sets To None Over No. 12 Tomas Berdych
After 11 straight holds, Tomas Berdych completely folded in the twelfth game of the second set. Serving at 5-6 to force a tiebreaker, Berdych couldn’t win a set, with wild unforced errors off his normally dominant forehand proving to be his undoing.
Rafael Nadal is now only one set away from a second Wimbledon title.
No one has ever beaten him from two sets down at a grand slam.
