Five, four and five sets in Milos' last three matches, and those two five setters required a great deal of mental toughness. Really hope Berdych and Murray take each other to the limit here and even things up a little on the fatigue angle.
First Canadian in a Grand Slam final. First North American in Wimbledon since Roddick in '09. One hell of a run by Milos. Just one more match now and he definitely has a chance with how he's played
Hope we see Rog back again. He ain't what he used to be, but he's still a treat to watch.
What an evolution in Milos' game though. Really hope he blows his opponent away on Sunday, and like his chances of it too. Hopefully he can play to the same level as he did today.
What I appreciated most from Milos after match was his response to the question about this being a great achievement for tennis in Canada... and his immediate answer was it will be if I win.
Was an incredible match. Federer is still amazing to watch.

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.
The only downer is that I'm going on vacation for a week starting tomorrow and I'm going to miss the Wimbledon final. Although Milos usually plays great when I'm not watching.
