After winning at Wimbledon and reclaiming the Number One spot in the rankings, Roger lost his bid for a Golden Slam by failing to win a gold medal at the Olympics against the hometown favorite, Andy Murray, at the All England Club yesterday. It was a solid, impressive, glorious victory for Andy! Gracious as always, Federer said not to feel sorry for him, he hadn't lost, he had WON the Silver. Nevertheless, I was sad for him. He had worked all year with the Gold Medal as his goal. He had that interminable semi-final match against the juiced-up, formidable del Potro on Friday - the fierce, indefatigable del Potro who went on to outmaneuver Djokovic for the Bronze! All in all, a grand result. Andy the first British player to win Gold since 1908! You can't be unhappy about that!
What a great era for tennis! Glad to be here to watch it all unfold. On to the US Open!
Who will displace the formidable four? Who can ever beat the Williams sisters?
