This video should be marked NSFW for how Federer killed Hewitt in this match

I'm actually sad about this. Didn't think it would bother me. Figured he'd have another Wimbledon appearance at least.

You can see the respect Felix has for Roger.....now that Roger is retired if he wants to get into coaching no better pupil than Felix

I really hope you get to see Rafa one last time.

One of the most underappreciated stats regarding Fed:

He played 1,526 professional matches and retired a grand total of zero times.

I wish we would have gotten a repeat of 2008 Wimbledon, with a different outcome.

That match has to be up there with the greatest sporting events of all time.

Thanks for everything Roger, I loved watching you play.

2019 Wimbledon we were so close to the Pete Sampras storybook ending. One ####ing point away, I don't think he ever recovered from that match. Had he won it, I'm confident he would have retired then.

You can make a case 2009 Wimbledon final was just as good.

Tennis never stops, today we have RBA vs Pospisil and Charlie vs Felix round 2. If Felix can win he will get a huge boost in confidence which should help him for the rest of the tournament.

One set shootout required as RBA takes set 2 6-3. Really need Vasek to pull the upset here for Canada to have a realistic chance (that said, even if it's 1-1 going into the doubles, that's a very tough doubles team that Spain is rolling out today).

Still alive in doubles. probably more a case of getting back to match fitness. Also it has been very hot and humid in India this week.

Edit: Genie forced to retire in doubles, probably shouldn't have even tried to play in retrospect.

Valiant effort from Vasek, but RBA just too solid in the end.

Felix was up 3-1 in the opening set tie-break and then drops six straight points

A break and Felix is serving for set 2 at 5-4

Edit: Consolidation complete and we need a 3rd set in Valencia.
