Federer - extreme clutch

I'll be honest: I switched off the tv when Federer was serving @ 3:3 15-40. I thought for sure the match was over, with Andy gaining more and more momentum & confidence and Federer seeming to crack under pressure.

I could not believe it when I checked ESPN.com this morning!! And was even more surprised when I downloaded the 3rd set and watched Federer somehow up a gear right when I, as a viewer, had chickened out!!!!

all credit and thanks goes to Andrew for uploading this match so quickly :)

(these are not highlights by the way, just mini-highlights of Federer coming back @ 3:3 and 5:4)

wait till the russian version comes out. That'll be clear as crystal.

But I'm going to use the english version to do highlights as I want to savor even the commentary of this amazing comeback by Rog!!!!

@robinho1979 If you won Wimbledon before 2008 and especially before 2006 you can pretend to deserve this tournament because at this period it worth it. Today when I hear Wimbledon I know that doesn t mean the same thing anymore, so lame

@robinho1979 This match was an insult to tennis, They couldn t see the ball properly, which advantage Nadal who just put the ball in the court, + the grass has changed twice since 2006 , which make Wimbledon almost as slow than Roland Garros. It was rainy and windy and the "grass" was so heavy which doesn t advantage serve and volley player at all. Finally The organisation didn t want to stop the match and make them play the day before. Nadal was very very lucky and doesnt deserve this victory

He heard "Break Point" and something clicked in his brain telling him "Dude......ur Roger mutherfuckin' Federer, you don't get broken!" Aaaaand he proceeded as shown above. With such grace and precision. Dude's and artist.
