I know most of you will have forgotten Wimbledon by now but I have just finished watching the final match and have a need to get all the excitement of Federer’s victory out of my system. So here goes a belated thread with a few contributions in it.

Strange thing is that Federer refused to carry the flag for Switzerland this year (apparently did it twice so wants somebody else to do it )

Superstition, you think?

The worst thing is, 2000 was when he got closests to a medal! (surely he wasn't carrying the flag back then)

No, but he met Mirka

So definitely he got lucky that year!

yes , apparently Mirka was going all stroppy and tearful when they played doubles, so he had to "carry" not just Stan, but her as well.

I think Mirka was the lucky one!
I know Fed wants to win the OG...but I think he woudl never swap v a Wimby title. However having and 8th WImbledon under a OG could certainly be the cherry on the cake.

Well, it must be nice waking up next to Fed, from a woman's point of view, however, I just hope Mirka doesn't have to fight too much against other Federer's love - tennis.
