Well I was crying, but for totally different reasons than I was last year!

After all the setbacks, heartbreaks, and everyone writing him off, and all he went through, esp. last year must make this even sweeter and more meaningful..

Congrats to Federer! On winning Wimby for the 6th time, reaching 15 titles And regaining the No. 1 position

I agree. I was surprised to see such a classy Andy, but him cracking jokes was still there which was awesome. OMG he so did not deserve to get that freaking plate... and I'm extremely jealous of Brooklyn, but today - all I wanted to see was him kissing her, 'cause that would've meant he won

Congrats Roger!

Today my town had a festival and in one tent there was a tv screen and so many people were standing in front of it to see Federer winning. It was really cute. I mean he's our little treasure

What a great match we got today. Congrats to Fed on winning his record 15 Grand Slam title. Once again he put together another good performance in a marathon. However i must say that i really feel bad for Andy. He played so well today and if he had converted on those set points in the second set, the outcome would`ve been different. I wanted to give him a hug so badly after the match. I really hope that Andy doesn`t let this tough loss bother him, especially with the hard court season around the corner.

Today`s classic match between Andy and Fed was a great way to end Wimbledon. Next up will be the Davis Cup quarterfinals.

Roddick played the match of his life and he still wasn't able to pull it off. Just tells you how good Federer is.

I really did feel awful for Roddick while watching the ceremonies. I hope he's able to win another major soon.

Oh and of course, I ended up missing the ending of the match.

Congrats to both players for giving us yet another Wimbledon final for the ages.

Well done.

One could make the argument that if Roger had converted one of his 4 break points in the game in the 1st set, he would've won that set and the outcome would be different..

"What if" scenarios are brutal..


In any event..I guess the next big thing on Roger's schedule is BabyFed. Gosh, he's having an exciting couple of months

Not to piss anyone off, but I think Andy lost it more than Roger won it 4 set points AND 2 break points at the 5th set. Whatever, congrats to Roger.
I'm still very much upset and I'm pretty sure I won't ever watch another Roddick/Federer match. Ever.

hmm..So those 2 aces in the second set tie-breaker, that backhand crosscourt, 3 aces in the fifth set when he was down 0-30, that 15-40 when he saved 2 break points, does not contribute to him winning the match?

Federer only needed one championship point, which tells you everything.



Oh well..another grass season over. Back to hard courts.
