Roger is getting a KIA... 
If this was wrestling rod would turn heel, hit federer with the trophy and take it himself
The best channel 7 can bring out is Basil fecking Zempalis

Let's all laugh at @Count Orduck
With his style of play, he should just carry on now.. after this he has nothing to lose and even if he loses, he can just say I am 36 and what? perfect scenario for him right now to grab a few slams under the radar.
This dude is amazing.
This was a fantastic last set. At one point early on it looked in danger to become a procession for Nadal but Federer showed incredibly mental toughness. Both played some fantastic stuff in the end. Couldn't be happier for Federer, what an achievement at 35. Feel bad for Nadal but surely he has a realistic shot at Roland Garros if he can stay fit. I hope he takes it.
This guy has such a strange voice. He speaks like he's deaf.
That one's my personal favourite
Maybe take your own advice?!
And people call him the best ever. Crazy
People who know more than you, evidently.
I think he should keep going as long as he feels he can compete at a top level.
Great stuff from both players, incredibly happy for Federer to get another slam and who better than against Nadal.
Glad that Federer won.
No way is Wawri winning Wimbo. His weakest surface and all the big guns will be wanting to win that one. I'd have Fed/Nadal/Murray as equals for that one.
Federer serving for the match is the best tense movement I had in recent times,I wonder why can't he start with two Ace.
"Best fans in the world"
Bit disrespectful to the Anfield crowd, that.

It's weird. I dunno why, but I really feel like going out and setting fire to a Kia dealership now.
We will see.I don't know what it's going on with Djokovic but probably he will be back to his best
Think I woke up my neighbours with my screaming
Nowak?
Yea serve and volley tennis should be encouraged more just for a bit of variety. Mischa zverev was a breath of fresh air.
Federer's going to be very emotional when Laver presents the trophy.
Novak will be back but Rafa is the greatest clay courter, and now he has his confidence back, he'll be hard to beat
All these annoying speeches, what a horrible feeling must it be for the loser to stay there for so long.
He surely has a good chance for an another Wimbledon.
Imagine the scenes if he makes a retirement speech now though.
Nadal is inching closer to his peak game though. Might be the motivation Djokovic needs.
We're friends, but you should just retire for a few days after embarrassing yourself.I thought you were my friend
Two of the GOAT
So happy for them both but glad Roger did it
Can't see either winning another GS though
Think everything aligned for both to make the final here

No sponsors no money no tournament. They should rightly come first, otherwise everyone just takes off after the speeches of the players.
Nadal is thinning on top.
I get the feeling the only slam he will be pumped for is the French, defending champ and if he wins it, he'll be the first out of the big trio to get 2x grand slams on each. He's already won three wimbo's and I just don't see it as a priority for him.
I always felt the loser should just be allowed to go. Remember Messi being made to hang around after the WC Final to receive the Golden Boot?
Think you're wrong there. I reckon Fed will retire after this, and with Rafa back in form and Novak and Murray not playing their best, I really think he's a favourite for the French.
Love Rafa (this one, not the fat waiter one)
Nadal
God I hope Rafa wins Rolland
