Federer has reclaimed the throne. Like everyone has said already, Murray was simply born into the wrong era.

Oh yeah, when Serena is motivated, she can dust the competition. She also won the doubles with Venus.

Pippa Kate is looking quite nice today, I must say.

Federer won me a couple hundred bucks this weekend. I loved him at +200 against Djokovic, he's still a beast on grass.

It's great that he can still get it done. Tennis is going to lose so much hype when he stops being relevant.

Andy Roddick is now retired after losing to Del Potro. Only one major win nine years ago, but was still the best American male of the past decade. Now he gets to spend more time fucking his supermodel wife.

Murray wins his first Grand Slam (and the first for Great Britain in forever) in a great five-set match against Djokovic. So the top four players ended up winning one major each this year.

Chaos at Wimbledon, as Nadal got trounced in the first round, and now Federer and Sharapova got the boot in the 2nd. Plus, like a million players had to retire from matches today due to injuries.

almost one year later, maybe the greatest tennis match ever being played right now. If Roger can push it to five sets, holy shit.

I like the Djoker, but damn I was pulling for Fed hard (pause). Only so many chances left for him.

So you guys think this is the last finals at Wimbeldon for Federer or he got one more run in him?

I've been saying Fed has been playing on borrowed time since 2012. Pretty amazing he made it this far.

Fed, Nadal & Djoker have I believe 38 Majors combined and 21 Finals losses too, which is pretty amazing. The fact that we are in an era with probably 2 of the Top 5 of all-time and another Top 10 ever at the same time is a great era for mens tennis.

Fed was going for his 8th title in 11 years today. That's pretty insane.

I've never been a fan of his, and I really like Djoker, but he put on one hell of a show out there. That was an amazing match. And Djoker's speech at the end was great. "Thanks for letting me win."

Bud Collins has died at age 86. I was a casual tennis fan in the late 80s/early 90s and always really got a kick out of Bud's commentary and persona. RIP

While the rumors are pretty rampant that Serena is on the HGH, the fact that Maria had to do something as well only speaks to how badly Serena has been kicking her ass.
