Thank you, Roger

[El Dude]

....for remaining awesome into your mid-30s. Not many players have done it: Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, Ken Rosewall, Rod Laver (who didn't win any Slams after age 31, but did win 5+ titles a year up until he was 37 years old). But you're going to be 34 in a few months and you're still going toe-to-toe with the best player in the game, who is almost six years younger than you.

So thank you, Roger, you're a joy to watch and I hope you stick around for a few years yet.

I'll co-sign that.

Roger's fight-back in that 2nd set today - the fighting spirit, and the quality of the tennis - awesome. A privilege to watch.

Did anyone notice that Roger's shorts look very similar to Rafa's with the reflective stripe down the sides? (Except, of course, that Roger's were a bit more--how you say---"relaxed" in the derriere lol.

It's Nike's current look.

They look like they are going to the beach.

That was the second match Roger has lost this year - he's 16-2.

Novak is 19-2.

Or a cheer-leading competition.

It was an impressive fight back and it just goes to show what a class act he is. The 3rd set was exactly what I thought would happen. After climbing the mountain, it's tough to have to go and climb another one. It does highlight what a huge gap there is between these two and someone like Andy Murray though. A special final..
