    I think father time has caught up with him, the best there's ever been

    A game too far. I fear that was his last game at Wimbledon.

    Yet there were some class Federer moments in previous matches. That young Pole looked very cool and collected though. I'm not writing Federer off yet though.

    Amazing player,I think his first appearance was when he was 18. One of the best performances I have ever seen at Wimbledon, was his against Andy Murray (I think) in a semi final, afew years ago. His movement was fantastic.

    Amazing testament to his ability that he's still making it this far into slam just shy of his 4th Birthday. Both Djokovic and Nadal will end up with more slams than him but I'll always view Federer as the best, made one of the most all round demanding sports in the world look effortless. I'm glad I was too busy to watch I'd rather remember him at his best.
