UPDATED the king dethroned - all hail rafa!

best partially watched final: gent's wimbledon final - federer versus nadal. man, those rain delays. i was only able to see the first three sets and then i had to work at the studio. it was an epic that went to five sets with rafa taking the grand prize. i saw some highlights of the final set but wish i saw the whole thing. i had to settle for virtual slamtracker on the wimbledon site.

congrats rafa on your back to back slams victories!
missing wimbledon drink of champs: pimms. ack, we didn't realise that we (r, jac and dean) didn't have our favorite brit summertime cocktail of choice while viewing the final. we had dean and he is british. that made up for our lack of traditional old timey drinkin'. sorry r and dean about fed, but you have to hand it to rafa. he was the better of the two yesterday.

star sighting of the match: gavin rossdale. yup, mr. gwen stefani was in the federer family and friends box. wrong team gavin, wrong team. i knew he was a fan and i could swear i recall him playing at the us open on arthur ashe day. i did some research and he was ranked high amongst celeb players. my high school crush still burns for mr. rossdale. tee hee.
