Roger Federer, the great Swiss player, entered the quarterfinals of the Wimbledon Grand Slam tennis tournament for the 18th time, dominating the event. Roger Federer defeated Lorenzo Sonego of Italy 7-5, 6-4, 6-2 in the All England Club tournament. Sixth-seeded Federer, who has won eight Wimbledon titles, saved two of the three break points in the match. With this, Federer reached the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the 18th time at Wimbledon and 58 times in his career. With 39 years and 337 days, Roger Federer became the oldest player to reach the Wimbledon quarterfinals. He broke the record set by Ken Rosewall (39 years and 224 days) in 1974. Rain forced the postponement of most matches on Monday, including a match between Russia's second seed Daniil Medvedev and Poland's 14th seed Hubert Hurkacz. Roger Federer will play the winner of this match in the quarter finals. Meanwhile, 19th-ranked Canadian Felix Auger Aliassime advanced to the quarterfinals after upsetting third-seeded German star Alexander Zverev. . . . . . . . . . . .

An Open Letter to Ivan Lendl

By Anne Tantalo

Photo source: static.guim.co.uk

  An open letter to Ivan Lendl, one of the greatest tennis players of all time, winner of 8 Grand Slams: Thank you, Ivan Lendl, for coaching Andy Murray to yet another milestone. Under your considerable influence, Andy's dream of winning Wimbledon has at long last come to fruition. In just a little over 18 months ago on December 31, 2011, the tennis world looked on with enormous interest as you began this adventure with Murray. The result: Two Grand Slam Titles, The US Open and Wimbledon, and an Olympic Gold Medal. The Men's Singles Final of Wimbledon 2013 will be remembered for all time as a historic day for Great Britain. After a 77 year drought, the British Isles once again have a Wimbledon Champion who is one of their own. For the rest of the world, you made it possible for us to believe Murray could triumph in any tournament he enters. More importantly, you gave Murray the necessary tools to believe it himself.

How happy was Ivan Lendl at Murray's victory? "...In terms of Ivan Lendl celebrations, the [below] clip is the equivalent of him shrieking wildly and collapsing in joyous ecstasy like a 12-year-old girl watching The Beatles in 1964. It’s all relative." (via USA Today)

RIP Fred Perry

When Andy Murray clinched this year’s Wimbledon title, Fred Perry’s ghost was finally exorcized. It had been 77 years since an Englishman had won Wimbledon. Although I’m a die-hard supporter of the Djoker, I was rooting for Murray. An English (or Scottish, in this case) player cannot call himself a tennis player if he doesn’t have a Wimbledon Grand Slam Title under his/her belt. But in all fairness, Murray’s game was most definitely not worthy of the occasion. More than Murray winning, Djokovic was losing; as was the case with Bartoli vs Lisicki!

If you ask me, both the finals were a tad disappointing. Sabine Lisicki had the championship. It was right there, waiting for her to claim it. I understand being over-whelmed by the occasion and playing on centre court, but you beat Serena Williams for crying out loud woman! And that is not an easy feat- it was probably more magnanimous an achievement than making it to the finals. No discredit to Bartoli, but Lisicki really let this one go. Here’s hoping she gets a grip on her nerves the next time she’s on centre court.

Any final that ends in straight sets is quite a letdown, especially for the people who shelled out money to watch it live. The spectators that really got their money’s worth are the ones that witnessed Wimbledon history being created by way of the 4 hours 40-something semi-final that took place between Del Potro and Djokovic . Now that was a real nail-biter! It could have gone either way, but the World No.1 emerged victorious, only to lose to World No.2!

But I guess that’s the beauty of any sport. Just because you’re number 1, doesn’t make you invincible. It all boils down to the form of the players and the state of their respective minds on match day…

Wimbledon 2013

Massive respect for Andy Murray who won £1.6 million from the Wimbledon & donated it all towards cancer research. What a true champion and hero!

"Winning Wimbledon, I can't get my head around that. I still can't believe it's happened. I think that last game will be the toughest I'll play in my career." Andy Murray ended Britain's 77-year wait for a men's Wimbledon champion with a 6-4 7-5 6-4 win over world number one Novak Djokovic.

Impossible? I think not!

Today Andy Murray did the impossible and won Wimbledon 2013!  He's an inspiration to us all! 

"Inspiration" is what i need right about now. I feel like I'm lacking, watching people's covers on youtube, they're so much better than me. I know that there will be people better than me, but it's hard to get up after being knocked out hard (reality). 

I now can truly understand why people say you must believe, even if the situation may seem impossible but nothing is impossible! It just takes time, like today have proven, although it was 77 years wait for us to win Wimbledon but nothing is impossible!
