Pretty crazy that he's basically the 2nd best player in Tennis at 34 years old and the only player capable of causing him fits is an his prime Novak.

I am also bummed that Fed's run probably ends tomorrow. but then again, I think I might even prefer getting it over with now than in the final and have to watch him rattle off another finalist runner up speech.
matches like yesterday vs Berdych are why I hope he keeps playing for another 5 years, even if there aren't any more major wins in the cards. Fed used basically every single shot in the Book of Tennis (except for SABR, which he promised to try at least once next match) and made it look like Fred Astaire with a racquet, as usual.
I never thought he would last long enough to see his previous bane Rafa fall into decline. there probably isn't enough gas in the tank to wait out Djoker, but then again there was a point in time where I thought he'd retire before the London olympics...and now here he is ready to compete in Rio.
