In the final of Wimbledon in 2008, Federer lost to Nadal 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8) and 7-9.

Spain's "King of Red Clay" Nadal experienced an epic battle that took 288 minutes (4 hours and 48 minutes). After an unusually cruel and long-term battle in the deciding set, Roger Federer, the Swiss champion who won the championship five times in a row, won Wimbledon for the first time in his career.

In the end, Federer missed the championship and failed to win his sixth consecutive Wimbledon championship.
