I don't like Federer for the very same reason I never liked Sampras. When it comes to tennis they are perfect. It's there robotic nature that I have never liked. Almost non human - but that's because they are/were both so incredibly focussed when playing.
My fave players have always had this edgyness to them - McEnroe, Leconte, Agassi, even Murray.
I really wanted to see Murray win yesterday but unfortunately he came up against a tennis player who ended up playing some outstanding stuff and well deserved his victory!
By the way I think Murray crying at the end really showed how much he wanted to win Wimbledon. He's got all the money he needs, he desparately wants to win a grand slam. Unfortunately he is up against 3 of the best tennis players ever, all playing at the same time!
