Switzerland's Roger Federer holds up the trophy to show the crowd, after defeating Rafael Nadal to win his fifth consecutive Men's Singles Championship on the Centre Court at Wimbledon, Sunday July 8, 2007.(AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus) WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - The best tennis rivalry in years blossomed a little more in the Wimbledon final, and even Roger Federer was happy about it. He answered the latest challenge from nemesis Rafael Nadal beautifully.

Federer matched Bjorn Borg's modern record of five consecutive Wimbledon men's titles Sunday, beating Nadal in the final for the second year in a row, 7-6 (7), 4-6, 7-6 (3), 2-6, 6-2.

"He's a fantastic player, and he's going to be around for so much longer," Federer said. "So I'm happy every one I get now, before he takes them all. He's improving so much."
