Yeah, I don't mind seeing him lose against Novak in a deciding set tie-breaker.
For us Fed fans who have seen him at his majestic best, it's just enough to see him not embarrass himself.
And this year he has been playing some very good tennis. All semis or over this year. So that's good.
Miami has him facing the dangerous Ivo Karlovic today.
In other news, Murray and Lendl split. Apparaently Lendl needed more time to focus on his other engagements.

All hail Nadal, the undoubted King of Clay.
Nine French Open crowns is indeed unbelievable.
Hats off to the guy.

Ah it's time for Wimbles again....
Did you know they have changed the points system this year?
You get 15 points for hitting an Umpire
10 for hitting any line Judge
and 5 for hitting any ballboys
and a Bonus of 40 if you knock out the Umpire at the first attempt
The winner is the first one to get 500 points.
Ah, the genteel game of Tennis,
Next ball, please.

This is why I love Wimbledon. The tradition and culture of honoring global sportstars from other sports.
What an honour to be in the Royal Box on Centre Court
Sir Bobby Charlton, Sachin Tendulkar, David Bekham, Olympic Games medallists, a must watch video!

MEN:
It's semifinal day, with two young challengers vying to topple the established order of champions.
World #13 Grigor Dimitrov challenges top seed and world #2 Novak Djokovic in the first semis. Dimitrov earlier defeated defending champion Andy Murray in straight sets. Djokovic himself had to dig deep to prevail over Croatian Marin Cilic to win in 5 sets in the QF.
Monster server and world #9 Canadian Milos Raonic stopped giant killer Nick Kyrgios in the QF to earn a chance to challenge Wimbledon legend and all-time great Roger Federer. With 147 aces in this tournament alone, Raonic will be high on confidence against the ageing superstar, but then again, Federer is Federer.
May the better players win.
WOMENS:
Eugenie Bouchard makes it through her first major final after two semifinal appearances in the other two grand slams this year.
She faces Czech Petra Kvitova who won the Wimbledon title in 2011.
Both are strong and aggressive players with ferocious groundstrokes.

Novak Djokovic is the 2014 Wimbledon mens singles champion.
My heart goes out to Roger Federer who fought with all his might to force a deciding set after being 2-5 down and saving a match point in the 4th set.
Both players were at the top of their game with excellent serving and some awesome quality tennis.
This was a classic battle with both players determined to not give in till the very end.
First set won by Roger in a tie break.
Djokovic breaks Roger (only the second time in this tournament he is broken) to grab the second set 6-4.
Third set again goes the distance where Novak edges it out in a tie break.
Fourth set, Novak draws first blood, breaks Roger. Roger breaks back immediately. Back on serve. Novak breaks again! It's 5-2, Federer staring down defeat. The 7 time champion then rallies and breaks Djokovic not once but twice, having saved match point at 4-5 on his own serve with a blistering ace, and a remarkable comeback by the seven time champion to win the fourth set 7-5!
With the momentum clearly with RF, Nole needs a medical time out. A couple of tough service holds later, Roger is the first to crack, and Novak Djokovic wins it 6-4 and with it the 2014 Gentlemens Singles Championship at the All England Club.
What is inspiring is the way the almost 33-year old Federer played against the now world number 1 player.
The sadness in his eyes was palpable as he sat on his chair waiting for the prize distribution ceremony.
A well deserved victory for Novak Djokovic who had lost the last three major championship finals he contested in.
Here are the highlights

A bit over two months and the top ten list looks so different than previous years.
Cilic wins the US Open, surges in at #5.
Old regulars like Tsonga and Murray not even in top 10.
Cilic, Nishikori, Raonic and Dimitrov battling it out over the next few weeks to finish in the top 10.
Roger Federer having a great year and can still end the year as #1 if he plays the remaining 4 tournaments as well as he has been playing the whole year.
