Federer has the support of virtually the whole centre court plus the BBC. It's the Federer Road Show.

Federer two sets up against Berdych, both tiebreaks.
Looks like yet another Grand Slam final for Roger.

He should have done what Djokovic did, IMO, and chucked it in before the end.
He was in increasingly severe discomfort (read 'pain')well before the start of the final set. He needs to look after himself.
BTW - I'm very glad Cilic beat the Yank.

Tennis is strange. You would put money on Fed to win the crown but if Cilic gets on a roll you never know.

Venus getting a beating so far in the final, a set and a break down. Looks to be struggling physically.

I'm watching the ladies wheelchair doubles. Their arms must be agony at the end of a game! The rallies go on for ages and they obviously have to use their arms to move around and hit the ball.
United we stand here....

I used to play in tournaments along with Jordanne Whiley and it's great to see her do so well. She was always very talented with a lot of potential but she seems to have really progressed a lot over the last 3 or 4 years.
She's just won the title again with her partner.
Well done to her.

I think Cilic could do this. Federer looking unusually uncomfortable at times.
I daresay he'll figure it all out soon enough though.

Fed looking majestic.
Cilic not getting 1st serve in enough.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

Such a shame for Cilic who is clearly injured. I was really looking forward to this but it's been a non event so far after the first 15 minutes.
No way back now.

Total procession, shame Cilic had the injury issues as it was never really competitive.
As for Federer, he must be edging towards the greatest sportsperson of all time tag. He's almost beyond human and everything he's achieved has been in an era featuring some of the best tennis players of all time as competition.

His numbers are staggering, I have so much admiration for what he's achieved. He's almost 36 now and is arguably better now than he was in his so called prime 10 years ago. It's remarkable.

Federer is one of the very best tennis players that's ever played the game, there can be no doubt about that at all. It was interesting that a couple of times the coverage focussed on Rod Laver, who Federer is friendly with and uses as a role model. Laver, IMO was the best male player ever to play the game, but there can't be much between them now.

Andy and Novak should take more breaks between grand slams like Fed does. They're so knackered even a 35 year old could beat them!

Bang on.
I actually though Andy should have pulled out at the end of the 4th set in the semi. He was obviously in trouble.

Federers the greatest ever, phenomenal player even now that he's a bit older.

I think you're right. They're doing too much, not letting injuries heal properly.
Federer spells himself between tournaments, which means he can give more time to his family. It's good to have a proper life outside the sport.

Great win for Jamie Murray in the Mixed Doubles. Teaming up with Hingis made for a pretty strong team but for him to have won four Grand Slam doubles titles is no mean feat and were it not for Andy's extraordinary exploits Jamie would enjoy a higher profile as one of the top sportsmen to have come out of Scotland.

Laver won his last Grand Slam title at the age of 31, Federer is a couple of weeks shy of his 36th birthday.
Players now are basically playing tennis for 52 weeks of the year, they hardly get any rest and even when they're not playing in tournaments, they're out on the practice court or in the gym working on their fitness.
Federer has just surpassed all records imaginable to be honest and it's hard to see anyone matching him any time soon. It's been a privilege watching him play over the last 14 years or so and tennis will sorely miss him once he finally decides to hang up his racket.
