A second rain delay Sunday stopped the stunning Wimbledon men’s final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.
Nadal won the first two sets, 6-4, 6-4, but Federer, perhaps aided by the first rain delay, railed to win the next two sets 7-6, 7-6. Nadal had two championship points in the fourth-set tiebreaker but couldn’t put away Federer.
The match was postponed by rain at 2-2 in the fifth set.
