    Federer is right up there with the greatest sportsmen whilst I've been alive. Dominated the sport for many years and even now with his age and family commitments he's still performing well.

    Love watching Roger Federer. Best tennis player there's ever been in my opinion. Winning, and in style.

    Up there with the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Ayrton Senna, Mark Cavendish, Joe Calzaghe and Mo Farah.

    A joy (for me) to watch them all.

    My mistake. I thought he had won in the semi not the quarter final. Shame. My comment still stands though.

    First Slam final without Federer, Djokovic or Nadal since 2005.

    Nishikori vs Cilic.

    Bookies will be chuffed.

    Is that since Safin v Hewitt in the 2005 Australian Open?

    Must rival Gaudio v Coria as the most underwhelming final.

    Modern tennis is *****, totally devoid of characters. Oh for the days of McEnroe, Connors, Bjorg and Nastase.

    Federer and the bairning Scotsman...boring feckers!!!
