  • Roger Federer, Best Tennis Player in the World Once Again?

    Maybe the return to number one doesn’t mean that Roger Federer is back to the status of best tennis player in the world but actually enjoying the benefits of the ATP’s ranking system, but for those who doubted his ability to win in Wimbledon this year, to win a Grand Slam tournament with Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal in the playing field, the win over Murray was a huge middle finger straight in the face.

  • Best Photos of the 2012 Wimbledon Final

    Some finals are just about one player and his story line. Roger Federer may have won his 7th Wimbledon title in the 2012 Final, now even with Pete Sampras, and making it 17 Grand Slam titles in his career, more than anyone else.

  • Wimbledon 2012 – Roger Federer Perfect One More Time

  • Wimbledon 2012 – Djokovic vs Federer Predictions

  • Wimbledon 2012 – Roger Federer Won’t Win a 7th Time

    It wasn’t just the fact that Roger Federer needed nine sets over the weekend to beat players ranked 29th and 75th in the world. It’s the evident fatigue, exhaustion and now an injury, that may haunt him further down the tournament, and keep him from winning the 2012 Wimbledon title, which has to go through Novak Djokovic anyway, making it a rather tough feat to accomplish.

  • Wimbledon 2012 Prediction – Nadal or Djokovic or Even… Federer
