Fantastic story.
An honest to goodness nice guy who has worked hard at his trade for years. Even though success came a few years ago, it was shortlisted but he didn't sulk or feel sorry for himself or felt like Tennis owed him anything, but instead worked harder to break through those next hurdles without drama. He lost in straight sets two years ago to RFed in the same semifinals.
A poster boy as athletes for honest to goodness hard work and perseverance paying off.
All class too on the court after the win. No falling to the ground or jumping around, out of respect for the opponent.
I think Federer has it in him for one more too. And he's always been the ultimate of class.
