Congrats on Wimbeldon and the 15th major. And what a final!

Hat's off also to Andy Roddick. I doubt Rafa could have played better than that.

An absolutely epic match for the 2nd year in a row. Regardless of the winner, it was great drama.

I'm a big fan of Federer's, but I don't think there's anyone who can't have felt badly for Roddick. He couldn't possibly have played any better than he did.

Fantastic match! Never been more impressed by Andy Roddick. Sadly, if he can't win it playing that well, he never will.

Roger, you're just too good.

Great final. Well done Rog!

In a side note, I'm pleased to say I don't think Murray would've been out of his depth in that final. May even have won it.....

That match could've went on forever

It was good though.

Roger would've had a much easier time breaking Murray. His service games would've been more competitive, but I think Roger would've won it in 3 or 4 sets.

After seeing how Federer played today,I wish it was Andy Murray up against him.
Murray would have kicked Federers' ass today.

I think so too. When Roddick won, I was like damn, Federer might as well chalk that up as another win. lol

AlexdeParis said:

You may be right, but Murray's a better returner of serve so may have troubled Fed's serve more. Having said that, how many aces did Roger put down!

Last year Murray was comfortably beaten by Nadal who went on to just beat Fed. This year there was nothing in the matches Murray v Roddick, then Roddick v Federer. There wasn't that big a gap in class.

But we'll never know.....

I like R-Fed. Dude isn't great with the media and yet that's what makes him cool to me. He's not this polished media darling like others are; he really struggles with the interviews and that makes him more real than celeb. Glad to see Pistol Pete there as well, and pimp daddy Bjorn.

There's not really anyone worthy of hate in tennis, it's degrees of niceness.

Fed is no slouch mentioning his greatness, which slightly puts me off him, but not much. Deserved to get his 15th slam.

Roddick came across well this week with a few cool quotes. One to watch form-wise too.

mcmeekle said:

What a match! I thought that last set would never end. I feel bad for Andy Roddick, thought; he put up one hell of a fight in this match and I don't believe anyone outside of Roger Federer has played a match this intense ever.

I think Roger Federer does pretty well with the media, but he's not a camera hog like Shaquille O'Neal or Deion Sanders. Besides, he's Swiss, and I believe he speaks three or four different languages fluently. He was answering questions to the French media in fluent French after his win at the French Open, and his English is really good too, though there is a slight accent.

mcmeekle said:

Yeah, I DID catch him hype himself up a few times about that, but it's all good, I like when athletes realize their greatness and can back that shit up.

Congrats Mr. Federer. 15 and counting. Thanks for the bragging rights for the next month and a half. See you at the U.S. Open.

mcmeekle said:

This is about Roger. Murray didn't make the final so he doesn't count. I treat the runners up like Charles Barkley, until you win something ..... shut the fu@k up.

congrats Federer.....keeping tennis boring as usual

almost as boring as watching Venus and Serena

dseann said:

Well, he consistently beats Fed and Fed's supposedly the greatest ever.....

Roll on the Hungarian Cup or whatever's next!

dseann said:

So then, what have YOU won?

mcmeekle said:

He's 6-2 against Federer. Of course, he was 6-2 against Roddick before the semifinals. And the last time Federer beat Murray was their biggest match, last year's US Open final. Murray still hasn't proved he can win on the biggest stage.

japanrocks said:

Yeah, that match was sure boring all right...

competition is nice.....but u always know Federer is gonna win and Venus/Serena

japanrocks said:

Exactly. Just like that epic 5-setter Federer won last year at Wimbledon... oh wait, Nadal won that. Or this year's Australian Open... wait, Nadal won that as well. It's been 7 years since Serena won the French Open. They don't win everything.

mcmeekle said:

Has he ever beat Roger in a Grand Slam?

resolve said:

I'm not a pro tennis player or anything, but I did win my girls heart and she's the biggest prize I ever hope to win.

Federer is a legend but i was rooting for Roddick

endymion said:

Me too

MrsMdiver said:

He blew it on that second set tie break 6-2 up and lost it

endymion said:

Bummer. I did not get to see that part, we were sitting outside at a pub and the guys were keeping track of the scores on their phones.

And that's the ONLY thing that counts in sports.
