Federer has won twelve Grand Slam singles titles (three Australian Open, five Wimbledon, four US Open), four Tennis Masters Cup titles, and fourteen ATP Masters Series titles. He holds many records in the game, including having appeared in ten consecutive Grand Slam men's singles finals (2005 Wimbledon Championships through to 2007 U.S. Open). He also holds the open era records for consecutive wins on both grass courts (with 63) and hard courts (58).

Pero sa ngayon parang swertihan na lang yun malupit na laro ni Federer. Pag nagkaroon na sya ng lapses sa court, nagtutuloy tuloy na kaya maraming nasasayang na laban na sana sya panalo.. :'( :'(

Federer sa akin.
Sayang at tinalo ni Tsonga sa French Open kahapon.
Ngayon, maganda ang laban nina Sharapova at Azarenka.
Pareho sila na gusto ko, pero mukhang si Serena Williams ang mag champion.
Parang unfair din kasi dahil napaka muscle naman niya.
Kaya sweet victory kung mag champion either si Sharapova or Azarenka.
-
sa Wimbledon sino sa palagay niyo ang mag champion sa Gentlemen & Ladies?
Gentlemen- Novak Djokovic
Ladies- Victoria Azarenka

hmmmm
wimbledon..... nadal
gusto ko sana si federer
womens...... serena william..

i dont think kaya pa ni Federer manalo ng Grandslam, wag siya mag alala his legacy is cemented as the Greatest Tennis Player in History

federer can win this but there are 2 hurdles murray and novak

I go for the "king of grass" - Federer.
Sa ladies, kay serena williams na naman yan, although gusto ko si Sharapova ang manalo.
Serena has been dominating lately.

oo nga wala na si rafa sa wimbledon. Pero marami pang pwede tumalo kay Federer. Lately hirap na talunin ni fedex si Nole. Sana maka-18 siyang grandslam bago mag-retire

Kung mapapansin nyo parang si Federer na lang yata ang may one-handed backhand. Ang ganda tingnan. Slowly nawawala ang ang mga one-handed backhand players. Puro 2-handed na, which is not suitable sa net game. Kaya mapapansin nyo bihira na
pumasok sa net ang majority ng players. I miss the likes of McEnroe na serve and volley. What a joy to watch!!!

Agree... what a graceful to watch his bachhand.. Pati na rin ang sliced backhand nya.. superb.. sya lang halos nakikita ko gumagawa nyan... Kaso wala na yun dominance nya sa tennis though big contender pa rin sya at may chance din manalo ng grandslam
-
Malaking factor ang age. Pansin ko usually kaya naman niya ang kalaban kahit sa mga grandslam. pero pagdating sa dulo kinakapos. madalas nga una siya hanggang 3rd set. pero dahil tumatanda na... ayun. talo sa 5th
-
Mukhang Murray vs Djokovic ang maghaharap sa finals ng wimbledon ah.....sayang si idol Federrer......anyhow, may the best mayabang win....
-
kakainis nga ehhh.... natalo na naman si federer.. well, hindi naman nya dominance ngayon era... pero gustong gusto ko pa rin sya kahit maliit ang chance nya manalo hehe

Sa tingin ko kaya nawala na ang mga serve and volley players ay nagmula ng nilakihan nila ang size ng tennis ball. Pinalitan din nila ang surfaces ng Wimbledon at Australian Open. Medyo bumagal na ang bola sa mga surfaces na yan kumpara dati.

Nilakihan nila ang size ng bola kasi naghahari dati sa mga fast surfaces ay mga big servers (Sampras, Ivanesevic, krajicek, philoppousis). And tingin nila nagiging boring na ang tennis. So para bumalik ang mga rallies. At nawala na rin serve and volley. Kasama na dun ang mga one handed backhand.

Pero wala pa rin tatalo kay Pistol Pete sa crunch time service games. Tanda ko dati, he was serving to stay on a championship match. Championship point ng kalaban ni Sampras on his second serve. Pete just went for it, mas mabilis pa ang second serve nya sa first serve on a break point. Galing talaga.

sa Wimbledon Wonen's finals, sa head to head duel, lamang si Lisicki kay Bartoli, 3-1.
Pero right now sa final, nanalo si Bartoli sa 1st set, 6-1, at lamang sa 2nd set, 5-2, so malamang Bartoli na ito.

Bartoli won, crap... The nerves got into Lisicki, she played way below her potential. I was rooting for her pa naman, nagtimpla pa ako ng kape.

Serena Williams wins 3rd US Open in row, 18th Slam
NEW YORK (AP) -- A couple of months before Serena Williams capped her dominant run to a third consecutive U.S. Open championship and 18th major singles title Sunday night, she sat down with coach Patrick Mouratoglou to decipher why the season had been such a struggle by her standards.
At the time, Williams was coming off a third-round loss at Wimbledon, which followed a second-round loss at the French Open, which followed a fourth-round loss at the Australian Open - and, when Grand Slam success defines a legacy, that simply wouldn't do. The quest to match Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova at 18 was weighing on her.
''It was definitely on my shoulders,'' Williams could acknowledge after that burden was gone. ''It was definitely like, 'Oh, get there. Get there. Get there.'''
She knew, of course, there was one more big event left in 2014, and a finite amount of time to turn things around before heading to Flushing Meadows. In some ways starting from scratch, Williams regrouped and stopped her mini-slump, never dropping more than three games in any set, including a 6-3, 6-3 victory over close friend Caroline Wozniacki in Sunday's final.
''When Serena is on her game,'' said the 10th-seeded Wozniacki, who admitted she was nervous in her second Grand Slam title match, ''there's not much we can do.''
Williams matched Evert's total of six U.S. Opens and became the first woman to win three in a row since Evert's four-title run from 1975-78.
Add in Williams' five titles apiece at Wimbledon and the Australian Open, plus two at the French Open, and only three players have more Slams: Margaret Court with 24, Steffi Graf with 22, and Helen Wills Moody with 19.
Ranked and seeded No. 1, Williams let Wozniacki keep things competitive for about five games but wound up compiling a hard-to-believe 29-4 edge in winners. Until a cross-court backhand in the final game, the only winners registered by Wozniacki came on aces.
When it was over, Williams dropped to her back behind the baseline, covering her hands with her face. Her first major trophy also came in New York, in 1999, when she was 17.
This time, Williams earned $4 million, a record in tennis - $3 million for the title, plus a $1 million bonus for having had the best results during the North American summer hard-court circuit.
A few weeks shy of her 33rd birthday, making the American the oldest major champion since Navratilova was 33 at Wimbledon in 1990, Williams powered this way and that in her black-and-pink hightops. Wozniacki is the one training for the New York City Marathon, but she was tuckered out by the end.
Wozniacki may as well have been an extra in this Williams highlight reel. Points were directed by Williams, via serves that reached 120 mph (194 kph), forceful returns that backed Wozniacki into a corner when not producing outright winners, unreachable groundstrokes or the occasional volley.
''From a different planet,'' said Wozniacki's father, Piotr, who also coaches her. ''Come on, there's no chance.''
Yes, this was all about Williams. At times, it felt as if Wozniacki were there because, well, someone needed to be on the opposite side of the net.
They've been pals for years, and they hung out together in Miami - heading to the beach, watching an NBA playoff game - after both lost early at the French Open in May. Wozniacki says Williams helped her get over the end of her engagement to golf star Rory McIlroy. Williams said she planned to invite Wozniacki along for Sunday night's championship celebration.
''We're both going to do anything possible to win the match,'' said Wozniacki, a 24-year-old from Denmark who reached No. 1 in the rankings in 2010, a year after losing to Kim Clijsters in the U.S. Open final. ''After the match, we're friends again.''
Mouratoglou noted the obvious: It didn't matter one bit to Williams who she was facing.
''Yeah, they're friends,'' the coach said, ''but on the other side, believe me, Serena has zero friends.''
The last time she was at a major, Williams followed her early Wimbledon singles exit with an odd episode in doubles, appearing disoriented and quitting after three games because of what she called a ''bug.''
''After Wimbledon, I was just so disappointed,'' Williams said. ''I also realized I just needed to relax a little more. I put a lot of pressure on myself. I don't have to put pressure on myself.''
When she met with Mouratoglou after Wimbledon to discuss how to proceed, he recalled Sunday, ''She coached me. She told me, 'Look, you are a guy who likes challenges. I am so low. You should be motivated by that.'''
Since that chat in Paris, Williams has won 19 of 20 matches and three titles.
Only one number mattered to her Sunday night, though: 18.

Cilic routs Nishikori to win US Open
New York (AFP) - Marin Cilic clinched his first Grand Slam title, shattering Kei Nishikori's bid to become the first Asian man to win a major with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 victory in the US Open final.
Cilic, the 14th-seeded 25-year-old, becomes the first Croatian man to win a major since Goran Ivanisevic, now his coach, at Wimbledon in 2001.
It also comes 12 months after he was forced to skip the tournament to serve out a controversial doping ban.
Cilic, playing in his 28th Grand Slam event, is the lowest-ranked champion since Pete Sampras, then 17th in the world, claimed the 2002 title in New York.
But victory was well-deserved with Cilic saving eight of nine break points, firing 17 aces and 38 winners past a weary-looking Nishikori who had defeated three top five players to make his maiden major final -- Milos Raonic, Stan Wawrinka and world number one Novak Djokovic.
"There has been a lot of hard work in these last few years and especially this last year. I think my team has brought something special to me, especially Goran," said Cilic who, like Nishikori, was making his debut in a major final.
"We've been working really hard but the most important thing that he has brought to me is joy in tennis and always having fun. I enjoyed my best tennis over here and played the best ever in my life."
Cilic also told his fellow professionals that the likes of Djokovic, Roger Federer and 2013 champion Rafael Nadal, absent this year through injury, can be defeated.
"I feel that for all the other players that are working hard, I think this is a big sign that if you're working hard things are going to pay off," he said.
Nishikori admitted he had been outplayed.
"Marin was playing really well today, I couldn't play my tennis. It's a tough loss but I am happy to get to my first final," said Nishikori. "But I will get the trophy next time -- it was a fun two weeks."
Monday's final was the first at a major not to feature either Djokovic, Federer or Nadal since the 2005 Australian Open -- so long ago that it was pre-Twitter.
It was also a battle of contrasting styles between the 5ft 10in (1.78m), 150lbs (68kg) Nishikori and the bigger, heavier 6ft 6in (1.98m), 180lbs (82kg) Cilic who had knocked out five-time champion Federer in the semi-finals.
Cool conditions
Under overcast skies and on the coolest day of a two-week tournament marked by punishing heat and high humidity, the championship match began inside a half-full Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Once he had saved a break point in the first game, Cilic was comfortably the dominant player breaking for 4-2 and claiming the opening set in 33 low-key minutes when Nishikori, on the defensive and pinned behind the baseline, patted a meek backhand into the net.
The big Croat's 11 winners to the Japanese's two illustrated the one-sided nature of the contest.
The winner of 20 of the previous 21 men's finals in New York had claimed the first set.
However, Nishikori had dropped the opener to both Raonic and Wawrinka in the fourth round and quarter-finals but still came out on top.
Cilic, finding the tightest angles, pounced again in the third game of the second set when his opponent sliced another apologetic backhand into the net.
He backed it up for 3-1 after Nishikori was unable to convert two break points.
Four successive aces helped Cilic to 4-2 which was soon 5-2 as he clinched his third break of the final.
Nishikori briefly rallied for a first break of the match but Cilic went to set point courtesy of a misdirected overhead by the 10th seed and sealed it 6-3 with a pinpoint forehand drive which found the corner.
The 24-year-old Japanese player, who had spent more than 16 hours on court to make the final, cracked again to fall 1-3 down in the third set off a wild, wide backhand.
Cilic then saved three more break points for a 5-2 lead before Nishikori clung on with a hold.
Moments later, it was all over as Cilic went effortlessly to three match points.
He double-faulted on the first but claimed the title after one hour 54 minutes with a sweet backhand crosscourt.
