Hey all, just a quick post to announce a competition I’m running in the wake of Rogers 7th Wimbledon title and to give you the perfect preparation to get psyched for the US Open that starts at the end of the month. Thanks to the AELTC, that’s the guys who run Wimbledon to you and me, I have 5 copies ... Read More »
You may have heard that Roger Federer won a record equaling 7th Wimbledon title on Sunday against Brit Andy Murray, but have you heard how he did it? You might just look at the result and say, simple, he outplayed the Brit on his beloved Centre Court to come through 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 to take his 17th Grand Slam ... Read More »
I’m struggling to type here as it’s difficult to put into words but what a peRFect day on Centre Court as Roger won his 7th Wimbledon title beating Murray 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 to tie Pete Sampras’s record and return to Number 1 in the world all at the age of 30. It’s hard to explain how great a feat ... Read More »
Oh Yeah! Without a shadow of a doubt the best feeling Fedfans have had in a Grand Slam since the French Open last year and what a feeling it was seeing Roger defeat the defending champion, Novak Djokovic, to make his 8th Wimbledon final. (yet another record!) Now my excitement has died down a little bit and I can look ... Read More »
Allez! Vintage/Majestic/JesusFed performance from Roger today against Mikhail Youzhny, I think we all expected Roger to win but not in this type of fashion and the most positive outcome was that were no repercussions of the back injury that plagued him in the first set against Malisse two days earlier. The fact he was able to serve at full tilt ... Read More »
Pfffft another crazy match! I thought after Friday nights antics against Benneteau Roger would come through this one with ease but just like the third round, mid way through the 1st set you knew things weren’t right. Roger Starts Pushing His Forehand I think it was about the 5th game I realised Roger was moving rather gingerly, he wasn’t able ... Read More »
Phew, what a crazy match this one was! Before the match yesterday I thought I’d spend more time in this post talking about the Rosol Nadal thriller and how it opened up the draw even further as I fully expected Roger to routine the Frenchman in 3 straight sets. Clearly that wasn’t to be the case. Enter Julien Benneteau… Even ... Read More »
Hey everyone, Another awesome performance from Roger today as he made Fognini look pretty clueless out there as he breezed past the Italian 6-1, 6-3, 6-2 in 1 hour and 14 minutes. 9 games dropped in 2 matches now – GOAT After triple breadsticking Ramos on Monday Roger carried on from where he left off breaking Fognini 5 times and ...

Whoooooooop! Seriously awesome performance from Roger today as he defeated Spaniard Albert Ramos in a mere 79 minutes. I was expecting a total cruise match from Roger, come out, win the first set and then just coast on through without seemingly trying but he really stamped his authority on this one. He broke his opponent 8 times in a 6-1 ... Read More »
Well it’s here, my favourite Grand Slam of the year (well I am a Brit so what do you expect?) and Roger actually got a Nadal like draw. There’s no real danger players that you can really see him losing to and you could even expect him to make the QF/SF without dropping a set. Of course he still has ... Read More »
