On the crying of Federer

July 3, 2005

When Roger Federer cried after sitting on his courtside chair after having won Wimbledon, that for me was the moment of the Championships this year.

Boris Becker on BBC Sport:

It was clear to everyone how much overhauling Roddick, and the championship, meant to him when he cried as he took the title for a third time.

He cried like a little child winning his first big tournament and it was so nice to see.

Federer is calm, Federer is composed while on court. It shows how much he has disciplined himself to play on court. He is composed because he has a game plan. He is calm because he has to relax and play if he wants to execute his game plan as perfectly as possible.

To me one point was very revealing in the match. Federer had not hit a particularly strong shot. So a possible winner from Roddick was on the offing. What does Roger do? He takes a calculated risk and approaches the net and hits the volley while on the move to get the point.

Pure brilliance.
