Wimbledon 2008 saw history being made as Rafael Nadal snapped up his first title in the longest men's final (4hrs 48 mins), ending Roger Federer's 5-year winning streak at the championship 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7.
Nadal also became the first Wimbledon men's tennis player since Bjorn Borg to win the French Open and Wimbledon in one season.
Venus Williams claimed a spectacular 5th Wimbleon title at the event, defeating younger sister Serena Williams 7-5 -6-4 and adding a 16th Grand Slam title to her name.
The Williams sisters partnered up for the ladies doubles championships and claimed the title in straight sets against Lisa Raymond and Sam Stosur.
