French open free ya vidunga. Peak la irunthapavae mudila. Wimbledon thaan namma aim.
Yes, Federer has bright chances in Wimbledon, the olympics and the US open if he can maintain his current form....
French Open 2012 draw is out....
Possible matchups for Fed..
1st rnd vs Tobias Kamke (Ger)
2nd rnd vs David Nalbandian
3rd rnd vs Roddick (doubt though)
4th rnd vs Feliciano Lopez / Stepanek
QF vs Berdych / Del Potro
SF vs Novak
F vs King of Clay..
Hope he reaches SF atleast....
Berdych vs Federer will definitely make a very good match. Berdych can be a threat for federer considering he's stopped federer from reaching a grandslam semifinal once....
Goffin: "My room was plastered with photos of Federer and now I'm going to play him at RG. Still can't believe it."
Tony Nadal on Roger Federrer

Stan, by any chance are you a member of that forum ???
I sincerely hope Federer has a few more grand slams left in him.
32nd straight GS QF for Roger after his yet another scrappy win over David Goffin in 4th round @ Roland Garros
Its Del Potro vs Federer in the quarters...Berdych vs Federer matchkku kudutha build upkku nalla payyan...
Del Potro periya appAtakakr dhAnE?
Agreed... Del Potro is also very good player and could upset Federer's SF plans....but I always thought Berdych to be a much bigger challenge to federer than Del Potro...
Fed will be relieved to play DelP than Berdych....
Berdych always plays better against Fed, particularly attacks Fed's 2nd second serve way better than anyone else (Murray comes a close 2nd).
Fed has kind of owned DelP ever since his comeback in the last year or so (winning him 4 or 5 times in the recent past). Added to the plight is DelP's latest knee issue. However every day is different & who knows if DelP can be aggressive enough he can have Fed's number. Fed for some reason is looking very lethargic thus far in this tournament.
:ashamed: Delp summa lam illa oru GS count ah korachirukaan already :twisted:Quote:

sports is nothing without emotions, and it was the most emotional match in recent times. where heart wanted both guys to win
Federer, the most complete player of all time without any doubt.Looking at how well he is volleyed and if the wimbledon courts had been faster like pre 2002 then federer would have become the greatest volleyer of all time. Is there anything that he is not capable of doing? Thanks for giving a such a wonderful era of tennis.
Roger Federer :clap: :notworthy: :thumbsup:
Fedex will smile @ the poll options :)
Guess Federer is a hot favourite for the olympics...Will be interesting to see as to how things pan out for him....
THE CHAMPIONSHIPS 2012
FEDERER WINS SEVENTH WIMBLEDON CROWN
Wimbledon, England
by ATP Staff | 08.07.2012
Roger Federer will return to World No. 1 in the South African Airways ATP Rankings on Monday after winning a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon crown with victory over Great Britain’s Andy Murray.
Watched by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge, the 30-year-old Swiss defeated the fourth-ranked Murray 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 on Sunday in the final of The Championships, which lasted three hours and 24 minutes.
“Today was unique because of playing Andy,” said Federer. “Obviously, being able to play or finish a match under the roof, I don't think that's ever been done before here for a final. So that's been different, as well. I'm happy I got a victory today, but obviously it was very, very special."
Federer joined William Renshaw and Pete Sampras as the only seven-time winners at the All England Club, adding to his triumphs in 2003-2007 and 2009. He has a 66-7 record at the grass-court Grand Slam and was contesting his eighth final, with his only defeat coming to Rafael Nadal in 2008.
Federer also extended his own record by winning a 17th major singles title. It was his first Grand Slam crown since defeating Murray in the Australian Open final in 2010. He won his first major trophy at Wimbledon in 2003 (d. Philippoussis).
When Federer returns to World No. 1 he will tie Sampras’ all-time record of 286 weeks in the top spot. At 30 years and 335 days, he is the second-oldest man to hold the No. 1 ranking, behind Andre Agassi who was 33 years and 131 days old. He was dethroned from the top spot by Nadal on 7 June 2010.
"This year, I guess, I decided in the bigger matches, to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes," said Federer. "This is, I guess, how you want to win Wimbledon, by going after your shots, believing you can do it, and that's what I was able to do today. It's special.
"This one hasn't quite sunk in yet for some reason. I guess I was trying to be so focused in the moment itself that when it all happened I was just so happy that it was all over and that the pressure was gone basically."
Federer has a 46-4 match record on the season and has won four ATP World Tour titles. Only David Ferrer has won more matches this season with 47 victories. The Basel native was victorious in Rotterdam (d. del Potro), Dubai (d. Murray) and at the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments in Indian Wells (d. Isner) and Madrid (d. Berdych).
The 25-year-old Murray was bidding to end Great Britain’s 76-year wait for a male Grand Slam champion; since Fred Perry triumphed at the 1936 US championships. The Scot tasted defeat in a Grand Slam final for the fourth time, having finished runner-up to Federer at the 2008 US Open and the 2010 Australian Open, and to Novak Djokovic at the 2011 Australian Open.
“I thought I played a pretty good match,” said Murray. “[There was] a lot of close shots, a lot of close games, a lot of break points here and there. He played very, very well the last two sets especially. When the roof closed, he played unbelievable tennis.”
Murray dropped to a 32-10 record in 2012, highlighted by winning the title in Brisbane (d. Dolgopolov) and reaching the finals in Dubai and Miami (l. to Djokovic). He was also a semi-finalist at the Australian Open, falling to Djokovic in five sets.

Other than equalling Sampras record, Wimbledon is a mokkai tournament for me(Ennai sonnen). Roger go for the best darn slam out there. My home slam. USO 2012. Angae dhaan naama 6th slam edukkanum.
:smokesmirk:
Olympics-ayum loosela vitralam, Enna solringa Omega?. I don't think he will consider that but Olympics win panna than ivar thillanlangadinna adhu thevayae illa. 17 Titles already speaks that. I have to do a research on who has won the most slams past 30. I know Agaasi has two (:clap:) and Sampras has one.
Federer driven on by fatherhood, age
By Dave James | AFP – 6 hours ago
Roger Federer believes becoming a father and celebrating his 30th birthday inspired him to a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon title.
Federer moved level with Pete Sampras on seven All England Club titles and celebrated a 17th Grand Slam crown with his battling 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 win over Britain's Andy Murray in his eighth Wimbledon final.
The win, secured beneath Centre Court's £80 million roof, also allowed him to return to the top of the world rankings where this week he'll stand for a 285th week, just one short of Sampras's record mark.
All in all, not a bad day's work for a man who had been written off as a relic in the new golden age of Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, and who had been without a Grand Slam title since collecting his 16th at the 2010 Australian Open.
But Federer said he has been driven on by wanting to see his twin girls Myla Rose and Charlene Riva, who are three later this month, get the chance to witness their father in action in his pomp, not his decline.
"People forget sometimes I do have twin girls. That has had a massive impact on my life. It's helped my game more than anything because I think I'm playing some of the best tennis of my life right now," said Federer.
"But just to be able to juggle everything together has been a challenge. And I think you learn from mistakes. You try to make it work for everyone involved. Hasn't always been easy, you know. I admit that.
"The victory today is a dream come true today for me and my family and seeing them there. Yeah, it's big."
Federer is five years older than Murray and Djokovic, who was deposed as champion at Wimbledon by the Swiss star in the semi-finals, and four years the senior of
Rafael Nadal, who claimed a recored seventh French Open last month.
Beating Djokovic and Murray in successive matches at the All England Club has given Federer even greater cause for optimism that the future holds even more success.
Despite Djokovic and Nadal having played in the previous four Grand Slam finals, Federer is still part of the golden age equation -- 29 of the last 30 majors have been shared amongst the three men.
"I feel I have a great game. I'm so happy I'm at the age I am right now, because I had such a great run and I know there's still more possible.
"It's very different than when I was 20 or 25. I'm at a much more stable place in my life. I wouldn't want anything to change. So this is very, very special right now."
Federer, whose next target will be a quick return to the All England Club for the Olympics, said he never doubted that he would be back on top of the world again.
"It was just a temporary thing," said Federer, after his two and half year wait for another Grand Slam title.
"I believed that maybe down the stretch, like with Andre Agassi (who was 32 when he won the 2003 Australian Open) it's like a steppingstone, a period I have to go through.
"I'm going to win 90% of my matches throughout the year, it's impossible every single year. So you're always going to go through ups and downs.
"But I knew how close I was for the last few years, and some people didn't quite see that."
