Rafael Nadal described his first Wimbledon title as a "dream" after beating Roger Federer in an epic final.
The 22-year-old won 6-4 6-4 6-7 (5-7) 6-7 (8-10) 9-7 to become the first Spaniard since Manuel Santana in 1966 to win a Wimbledon singles title.
French Open champion Nadal had lost to Federer in the last two finals.
"It's impossible to describe. I'm just very happy. It's unbelievable for me to have the title here at Wimbledon," said the Majorcan.
"It's a dream. Always, as a kid, I dreamed of playing here. 
"For any Spanish player to win here is unbelievable - for any player - but especially Spanish because we don't have a lot of titles here."
Nadal is the the first man since Bjorn Borg in 1980 to win the French Open and Wimbledon back to back, and now has five Grand Slam titles. Read more..
