My great friend & GOAT @rogerfederer - the undisputed Master of Wimbledon - produced one of his greatest performances there today. Rafa also played some unbelievable tennis and it takes two to produce a classic. Roger can go all the way, it will be a final for the ages.
Roger Federer, you will keep enthralling us till you are 70. Never go away.

Federer-Nadal is one place where sport is art to me. Just a beautiful clash of styles, history, and greatness.
Between Coco, Serena/Murray mixed doubles and fed vs Rafa, this Wimbledon has been the most exciting slam for me in recent history

Can watch this shot again and again. And ask myself: is Roger Federer for real? A Sachin straight drive, a Jordan clutch shot, a Bolt sprint, and yes, the Roger backhand. When sports is sublime..
