Did you see the whole match or did you skip a set here or there before forming this opinion?

My personal feeling about this match was that while it was entertaining, in the final moments it came down to who would crack first rather than who would come out and win it.
Still trying to sell that Seles-Sabatini match, are we?

Yes, I have seen the whole 2005 Wimbledon final probably about 6 times and I completely disagree. Venus totally came out and won it. If you have 10 minutes to spare, watch this:
Wimbledon 2005 Final - decisive moments The level of tennis is so high even at the end of the longest Wimbledon final in history (especially look at the rallies starting at 2:10, 7:45 and 8:31). This had nothing to do with a player "cracking," this was about both of them playing tennis that would have beaten anyone else in the world but Venus having more in the tank. Lindsay didn't crack. Venus earned the hell out of that break of serve at the end.
