Roger Federer faces Andy Murray in the Wimbledon men’s singles final tonight, Manila time.

Pressure on Murray:
-To fulfill the expectations of 60 million Britons who have been waiting close to 80 years for a British men’s singles champion at Wimbledon.
-To win his first grand slam.
-To be acknowledged as a Briton and not “that Scottish guy”.

Pressure on Federer:
-None, actually, he’s done everything. But pressure on Federer devotees for Federer to win after a two-year drought, because our lives make more sense when he wins.

Who’s your daddy?

While you wait out the rain delay, watch Rafa Nadal de-toweling Fabio Fognini at Roland Garros. Gracias.

Oh Roger, you’re not even trying anymore.

We get it, you’re coasting. You can beat anyone below the top two just by showing up. But for Djokovic and Nadal you have to actually be there, occupying your body, you know?

The French want to believe he’s 50% Swiss, 50% French. Well there is no “French” gene or “Swiss” gene or “Filipino” gene you can isolate as proof of whatever-ness. In case you’re in a mixy-matchy mood.

Roger Federer won the Madrid Open and got a Men In Black suit from Will Smith. Interesting body language, no? Is Roger bending towards Will or moving his lower body away from him?
