Federer-Nadal classic draws best rating in 8 years

The Wimbledon men's final drew in television viewers as the drama built and the match stretched deep into the afternoon in the United States. Rafael Nadal's five-set victory over Roger Federer on NBC on Sunday earned the championship's highest overnight rating in eight years, the network said Monday. The coverage from 9 a.m.-4:45 p.m. ET drew a 4.6 rating and a 12 share. That's up 44 percent from last year's five-set final between the two, a win by Federer that drew a 3.2/9 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. [link]
