Rafael Nadal described the Wimbledon crowd as the best in the world after regaining the title he had to give up last year because of injury. Rafael Nadal leapt into a winning backhand during a point in the second set and hit the tennis ball with such force that dust swirled when the ball landed. On a Centre Court more brown than green after two weeks without rain, and with 15,000 fans cheering early and late for Nadal, the 24-year-old Spaniard won his second Wimbledon title and eighth career major championship Sunday by beating 12th-seeded Tomas Berdych, 6-3, 7-5, 6-4 in a 2-hour, 13-minute men’s final. “It’s probably the best crowd in the world, they have a lot of respect for every player,” said Nadal.
