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:
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.

That's my favourite clip in the series because it has my favourite rally of all time.
That 25 shot rally when Venus was serving at 6-7, 15-30, was crazeh intense.
You can't see right there because they focus on Lindsay(I guess I watched it on the BBC feed or whatever), but both of them had to take a few seconds to gather themselves (Lindsay leaning on her racquet and Venus leaning against the back wall) after that point. IT was after that point that I realized that I was witnessing the greatest ladies' Wimbledon final.

It's my favourite point in the history of tennis.

(I've probably seen it more times than you have

)
And I agree, they both would have beaten anyone else in the world that day on any day.
