Nadal makes history 纳达尔创造历史

CNN's Mark McKay has a recap of the men's final at Wimbledon and the latest news from the Tour De France.

The new men's tennis rankings are out. And Raphael Nadal has a surprise surprise close the gap on world No. 1 Roger Federer. 545 points now separate the two men. The Spaniard could end the Swiss star's stay at the top place Federer has been since February 2004, before the end of this season. Of course Nadal's epic victory Sunday in the gentlemen's singles final at Wimbledon was what scent his start. Sorry if you haven't heard by now and I am surprised you haven't. The Mallorcan won his first crown of the All England Club and halted Federer's run to five consecutive titles in the process. This match went to distance all five sets and went into the record books as the longest men's championship match in the history of Wimbledon. Doctors have advised Nadal now to take a few days' rest. He has a sore knee. He won't be playing in this week's Mercedes Cup in Germany. Raphael, meanwhile, will reflect on winning Wimbledon.

I would love to win here. I mean you know, Hum, today was my first, my third final. And I just focused all the time, and believing the victory all the time, and that's that's what I think.

Do you think this will change your life because it's like some piece of history, you know, first Spanish person for 42 years.

Well, this, piece of history, yes, because we didn't win for the last 42 years. You know, but that doesn't kind of change my life, for sure not.

Are you the best player in the world right now?

No, I did very well for the last couple of months though. For the last few months, I've played better than Roger. But I am still No. 2.

How was it during the rain delays, how tough was it to keep concentrated? And how did the first one affect you because it seemed that when you guys came back on court, Rorger managed to get the upper hands?

Well, he played very well every time. You know, so I didn't know. I just accepted, we know that the rain's gonna, the rain's gonna be there. Then I just, what's to say, was called my rethink.

On the cycling, protesters made their presence known Monday at the Tour de France. Four riders taking part in the 129-kilometer third stage were stopped by the group whose members were waving banners about thirty kilometers from the finish line in Nantes. An intervention by none other than the Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme apparently walked to wonders the protestors were soon hustled away from the cyclists.

最新男子网球世界排名出炉。Raphael Nadal拉近与世界第一Roger Federer的距离。545分是两人之间的

分界线。这位西班牙选手有可以在本赛季结束之前终止Federer从2004年2月以来世界第一的位置。当然

Nadal周日在温布尔登男子单打决赛中历史性的胜利预演了这种可能性。如果你没有听说过他的话很遗憾，而且我会很惊讶你居然没有听说过他。这位纳达尔人赢得了全英格兰俱乐部的第一顶桂冠，阻碍了Federer争夺五连冠的进程。这场比赛远远超过所有的5场比赛，是温布尔登男子比赛历史上最长时间记录。建议Nadal休息几天，因为他患有膝关节痛，不能参加本周在德国举行的梅赛德斯杯比赛。同时，Raphael将对应的温布尔登比赛作出反应。

我很高兴能够赢得本次比赛。我的意思是，你知道，今天是我参加决赛的第三场。我一直都集中精力，一直相信能够胜利，这就是我所想的。

从某种意义上来说，这也创造了一项历史，你知道，42年来第一个西班牙人，你认为这会改变你的生活吗？

哦，这是一个历史，因为过去42年来我们西班牙人都没有赢得过比赛。你知道，但是这不会改变我的生活，确定不会。

你现在是世界上最好的网球运动员吗？

不，然而在过去的两个月里我竭尽全力。过去的几个月里，我比Roger表现好。但是我仍然排在第二位。

在下雨的时候情况怎么样呢？在那么恶劣的环境下你是怎么集中精力的呢？第一场比赛对你有什么影响呢？因为你们回到场上的时候，Rorger似乎占了上风？

他每次都打的很好，你知道，所以我不清楚。我只是接受现实，我们知道雨会一直下，我们无法改变。那么应该怎么说呢，那唤起了我对形势的重新思考。

在自行车比赛中，抗议者周一出现在Tour de France。该组织的成员在距离终点30千米的法国南部城市南特挥舞旗帜。这次阻挠是由Tour de France的主任Christian Prudhomme造成的。不久抗议者就慌乱的弃自行车运动员而去。
