Lightening does strike twice! Roger Federer repeated last year’s “greatest shot” on Monday night in Arthur Ashe stadium during his first round match vs. Argentine journeyman Brian Dabul. Here’s Roger’s tweener, 2010 style (watch quick, before it’s inevitably taken down by tennis youtube police): The shot’s great, and these reactions are almost as good: Paul [...]
This Roger Federer advertisement for Lindt Chocolates is all kinds of wrong (just imagine if, say, Maria Sharapova was starring) yet it’s so hilarious! Enjoy: A behind the scenes look @ the Lindor commercial. Thanks to GTT reader Mia for sharing this! Extended version: UPDATE #2: A little info from the press release accompanying the [...]
Big thanks to GTT regular, Judy, (not to be confused with Federer stalkerazzi!) for these great photos of Roger Federer and Co. practicing at the US Open on Saturday.

Super Coach Paul Annacone appeared with Roger Federer on the practice courts a few weeks ago in Toronto, though Roger wouldn’t say at the time if their trial relationship was moving beyond the test phase. Speculation increased when Annacone was a no-show during the Rogers Cup final and then failed to follow Roger to the [...]
Roger Federer successfully defended his Cincinnati Masters title today, beating Mardy Fish 6-7, 7-6, 6-4 in the final.

Thanks to GTT reader/commenter Nusi for finding and posting this awesome video in the comments section. Frites thinks this is real and amazing. I, Fritters, think this is fake a viral video for Gillette, similar to Andy Murray’s Head viral video and Novak Djokovic’s viral video as well. Regardless though, this is really fun and [...]
Wow, what a freaking match! Roger Federer beat Tomas Berdych – just barely – in the the quarterfinals of Toronto’s Rogers Cup on Friday night: 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (5). I have to say it was majorly fun to watch live, in the bowl of the stadium, surrounded by a few thousand Fed fanatics. It wasn’t [...]

Roger Federer and his new coach Paul Annacone took to the Rogers Cup practice courts at around 4:30 pm this afternoon. Gael Monfils was a court away, playing a loosey goosey game of futbol tennis with a couple friends (Meanwhile, La Monf’s doubles partner, Philipp Kohlschreiber, was deep in the third set vs. Rafael Nadal [...]
Thank to Fed-watcher Judy for forwarding the heads up on this! Winning Wimbledon, beating Pete’s record, taking the career Slam – Roger Federer has reached and surpassed many of his goals. And now he’s set the bar even higher: to end his career with four more Major titles, for a total of (at least) 20. [...]
