Getting a bit sick of the Federer gushing. "Magical story," "like a movie" etc etc. Being made to sound like some journeyman who has never won anything, suddenly making the final from nowhere at the end of his career after all the years of trying. Bit like the Hollywood Wimbledon movie I suppose. In fact, it almost sounds as if it was Zverev or Istomin who had made the final. Has he genuinely played a match in this tournament that noone thought he would win? I didn't see anyone in his draw challenging him apart from Wawrinka making it tough but still would have been shocked if he'd lost. Was surprised Nishikori got a couple of sets off him too. Hope Nadal stuffs him.

It really is like that Wimbledon movie, you're right! I actually think it really will become a movie in time - probably called "Roger and Rafa - their very last and final fight)
I really do wish that "the other players" will remember that they actually do know how to play tennis - and do that at the FO.
Anyway I do hope for Rafa today
