Roger Federer wins a record 8th Wimbledon title, and 19th Grand Slam title of the year (second this year). This has been a big comeback year for players over 30 this year (Federer, Nadal, Venus).

Terrific. It sucks that American men’s tennis is in such shambles; however, I love rooting for RF. Class guy all the way.

I love Federer. I watched a relatively unknown Nadal in a match in Atlanta quite a few years ago when he was 18. It was apparent he would be a star.

The US needs a Pete Sampras with a personality. :-)

Color me skeptical.

PED’s are evidently finding new ways to elude testing. This guy was breaking down and declining for the past two years. Of course, he was. He had reached that age where players do. His biggest rivals (Murray and Djokovich) who are younger are breaking down. But miracle of miracles HERE’s yeah another over the hill athlete who happens to come back!! He not only phoned Ponce De Leon for some fountain of youth water, he comes back even better than he was in his prime.

Is that you Lance Armstrong?
