i've known about federer's splendid human attitude, but after seeing this i have to admit that hrbaty also owns one. because - you gotta have a great portion of sense of humor and humbleness to smile on a joke when it is aimed at you-especially if its concerning your performance. hats down for both of 'em. and btw - check out the hrbaty's point from earlier of the match here on youtube.
Federer said,"I looked over and there he was. He asked if I could sit next to me. I said, Sure. There's no problem. There's an extra seat (smiling).We go way back. Used to play doubles together.He said it might be his last Wimbledon, so it was almost a little bit emotional. So it was quite nice he did that."
Does Federer say something at 1.47 that makes the crowd laugh? Obviously they laugh at his hitting into the net after the 'give him a chance,' but they laugh at a lot at that moment.
This was Hrbaty's last wimbledon. Hrbaty was once number 12 in the world and in 2008 was one of very few still active players who had positive game score against Federer (2:0).
"Iron man" Hrbaty is respected by best tennis players mainly because of his precise play from base line. He often practice also with Federer. That's why they know each other well and are considered to be friends.
it doesn't wanna allow me to paste the link to the point i have just mentioned - so try to enter:

Which player went over to the other's side? I'm assuming Hrbaty went over to Fed, which would make it really awkward for poor Rog.

Hrbaty went over to Fed. This was Hrbaty's last Wimbledon so I guess he wanted a little immortality by hanging with the legend.

From the NBC commentary, if I remember well, they said both of them played Juniors together so they are super good friends.

Not really, they're good friends so I imagine it was anything but awkward.

I know, but this is Wimbledon centre court, not the practice courts.

It's not like it's a huge issue of keeping up appearances. I'm sure he enjoyed chattin a bit with his bud.
