The final weekend was anticlimactic, I suppose, mostly because this year's Wimbledon Championships was an absolutely wild ride, with plenty of upsets, near upsets, and terrific showdowns. A few quick thoughts:
- For all the millions of pounds the All-England Club spent on the retractable roof on Centre Court, the tournament did not experience one rain delay in 2010.
- Who would have expected the Williams sisters and the Bryan brothers to lose the way they did in doubles?
- We may have seen the last Wimbledon in which Roger Federer entered as a favorite.
- And the Isner/Mahut marathon is surely one for the ages.
- Ditto Venus Williams.
- Though the men's final couldn't hold a candle to the five-set duals of the preceding three years, it was pretty cool seeing how Rafael Nadal dominated by improving his game.
- Same with Serena Williams and her serving.
Time to decompress now.
