I tried my best to watch past week as much as I could after work, including one of the best matches this season for me Muller-Nadal and a very dramatic one Kerber-Muguruza. I kind of cheered for Johanna Konta and Garbine Muguruza, Magdalena Rybarikova was sensational for me until that semi-final, hope she'll get a boost of confidnce by her appearance in total and play well going forward.
But the constant highlight for me was Roger Federer's play, the ridiculous almost ease of it. At 36, after taking a half year of last season, he is moving and playing amazingly, and some of those shots at Wimbledon were breathtaking for me. What is so striking for me that there is no forcefulness in his game - it's a skill combined with right power, amped by that authority and silent, classy confidence of his. His play on grass is on the same level of tennis virtuoserie as Nadal's on clay - just feels so esy to watch, so easy to appreciate. Today's semi-final with Tomas Berdych was again - not the worst effort from Czech player (actually I think he played a very good tournament here), but the sheer power, decisiveness, quality and confidence were just superior from Roger's game. I'll watch on Sunday and cheer Swiss Maestro

Roger Federer - A CLASS, a class on its own. You either have it or not. A class followed by so much elegance and ease. I just wish Marin would not be injuried to give it a better shot, anyway - kudos to play so well in the whole tournament and being on court today.
And I teared too when Roger cried a bit waiting on ceremony, it has to be a special feel to be at Wimbledon again and win his 8th title there, after being up and going for quite some time, players coming and going and he still wins...And his kids are just cuteness overload
