Oh before I forget, congratulations on Rafa's 14th! He's now finally matched Sampras' record. I do think he's 9 RGs are greater than his 14 Slams. It's quite a feat and not sure if it will be ever matched.
You guys must be over the moon! I am genuinely very happy for you. Though it hurt a great deal to see Nole lose yet another final but then his Wimbledon win filled up that void later. He so badly needed that. I did feel sorry for Federer and his tear did make me a bit emotional, because you know, I never enjoy seeing anyone cry, especially if they really want something so bad. But he's a big guy so I am sure he got over it by now. Besides, he has plenty Slams in his pocket already so it's not a true heartbreak. Nole was the better player and had the toughest road and he played the final equally well despite the 4th set choking, so he deserved it all.
I am not sure though if Federer is playing to win more Slams to secure his place in history a bit more or if he's looking for an opportunity to go out like Pete. I guess time will tell.
Very happy that Nole and Jelena finally tied the knot. Very happy moments for Nole. Don't think Andy was there given the recent circumstances.
Andy's qtr-final loss to Dimitrov was heartbreaking I must admit as I did not see that coming in million years. I was able to see all his previous matches live (all four of them) and I know how well he was playing, so it was really surprising to see him lose in straight sets on his favourite surface at Wimbledon to Dimitrov. A loss to Nole would have made more sense. There were a lot of speculations about something going wrong a few minutes before the match, and if that indeed happened, then it's really sad that Andy still lets all these things get to him like that. Quite unfortunate, really but that's our Andy - so emotional. Let's see how things pan out rest of the year and if he makes WTF at all this year.
