The 2010 Australian Open final was short and sweet for Roger Federer, who beat Andy Murray in three sets for his 16th major title. Here are some videos from the trophy ceremony and Roger’s post-match interview with ESPN2. Enjoy!

Roger Federer post match ESPN interview:

Everyone’s been talking about this interview Roger Federer did with CNN after the French Open, and I was happy to finally find it!

Cute stuff, but I have to snark just a little:
1. Why did the interviewer giggle after saying “big ones”?
2. What kind of question is: “So if Rafa had been in the final – [...]

There were so many questions going into the French Open this year, like “will Rafa lose a set?” and “which half will Djokovic be in?” and “Roger’s win in Madrid was a fluke, wasn’t it?”
Only the bravest Fed Fanatics were willing to raise their hands and ask, in embarrassed tones usually reserved for asking teacher [...]

Bow chicka bow chicka bow bow!
Why the lame attempt at a porno flick bass line? Because this year’s Roland Garros final was THAT satisfying. At least to Fedophiles, who just wanted Roger Federer to beat Robin Soderling as quickly and easily as possible. Which he did: 6-1, 7-6, 6-4. Federer lost only 17 points [...]

ROGER FEDERER WINS THE FRENCH OPEN!

“I’m sorry I played better than you.” Svetlana Kuznetsova told Dinara Safina on the awards podium today after beating her 6-4, 6-2 in the French Open final. It may have come out wrong, but I think Kuzy summed it up best.
Forget the Safina Show for a second (the “Battle of the Real No. 1s”,  the [...]

I am too emotionally exhausted to say anything but. . .THANK YOU!
THANK YOU to Roger for sticking it out.
THANK YOU to Del Potro for getting tired.
THANK YOU to the Tennis Gods for showing some mercy.
THANK YOU to sketchy live streaming sites for throwing us a bone.
THANK YOU to tonight’s bartender for pouring my drinks STIFF.
THANK [...]

One of the most awesome shots I’ve seen all tournament: Sam Stosur’s inside out forehand while down 2-5 in the second set tiebreak against Kuznetsova.
If you missed it – the shot is at the 60 second mark in this video. Also, check out Dinara Safina’s reaction, while watching the match in the ESPN studios:

Her forehand [...]

Darren Cahill and Brad Gilbert pay homage to Rafael Nadal in this fun instructional piece on “the power forehand.” Brad-the-Rafanatic even dons the doomed hot pink/neon yellow Nike ensemble in honor of the four time French Open champ. Fun stuff, though I don’t think I’ll be trying that buggy-whip follow through any time soon:

And I [...]

I thought I was done with Roger Federer posts for the day, but then Gael Monfils gave a hilarious press conference after losing to him in their French Open quarterfinal. Marat, you may have some competition for most entertaining in defeat.
Please keep in mind that Monfils was speaking in a thoughtful, self-deprecating way. It was [...]

“You think, okay, I’m nervous. I don’t know why. You can’t sleep well, even though before it wasn’t a problem. But you don’t manage to eat well, you feel a bit dizzy, and you don’t know exactly why. You know, there are days like that on the tour. That happens.”

It’s nice to hear I wasn’t [...]

Serena Williams lost her Roland Garros quarter final today in an exciting three-set match against Svetlana Kuznetsova. It was big hitting tennis from both sides, with balls streaking down the lines and into the corners of the court. Kuzy ripped some screaming forehands and Serena served huge at clutch moments.
Even more impressive than the shotmaking [...]
