Re: Tennis

I too am glad Federer won today. He deserved it and has been an exemplary champion over the many years he's been at the top. Contrast his professionalism, dedication and self control with some other leading sportsmen...

Murray played well but just wasn't good enough when it mattered most - I guess those are the times when the sort of experience and self belief Federer has add up to the difference between success and failure.

I've never been a big fan of Murray's on court attitude but was very impressed by the way in which he spoke after the match. He'll have won himself a great many new supporters (me included) through that moving and sincere display of humility and emotion. A great match and who knows, Murray's day at Wimbledon may still come.
