Rafael Nadal finally managed to beat Roger Federer on center court to win the 2008 Wimbledon Championships.
To me though, Federer lost this final six months before, when after losing to Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the 2008 Australian Open, he commented, “I have somehow created this monster that I have to win every Grand Slam I take part in.” That indicates, in whatever little way, the lack of appetite in the champion. And in a matchup between equals, Nadal had just that bit extra that saw him past the line.
