TENNIS : ROGER FEDERER - - THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME !

- Saturday, July 15, 2017

TENNIS : ROGER FEDERER - - THE GREATEST SOARS BEYOND ! BREAKS HIS OWN RECORD; WINS HISTORIC 19TH GRAND SLAM CROWN !

All hail the Greatest, once we wrote.

But now the Greatest is unstoppable, continues to soar, seemingly boundless.

Roger Federer has just smashed his own record, winning a historic 19th Grand Slam Title.

At 35, Roger Federer has defied age and time.

He has done the unthinkable.

Just when you think Rafael Nadal's "La Decima" was unthinkable, think again.

No disrespect to Rafa, he is absolutely one of the greats.

But Roger Federer is it.

The Greatest Of All Time.

Adding another feather in his hat, Roger Federer won the Wimbledon Championship crown, Sunday.

It was his 8th Wimbledon Trophy - - a record in Wimbledon's 140-year history.

He won the entire Tournament, without losing a single Set to anybody.

Roger Federer faced Marin Cilic of Croatia in the Wimbledon Championship Finals.

Marin Cilic, 2014 US Open Champion, crumbled in agony as Roger Federer cruised his way to victory.

The Croatian broke down in tears, helpless from an apparent injury.

Roger Federer quickly dismissed him in straight Sets, 6-3; 6-1; 6-4.

In a sport where injury is well part of the game - - and while Roger Federer is a continual victim of injury himself - - the win was, in no case, less sweet.

Roger Federer celebrated in tears following his triumph, in front of thousands of cheering fans at the iconic Wimbledon Centre Court.

The future King and Queen of England - - Prince William and Princess Kate - - in attendance, applauded with glee.

HISTORY. Roger Federer wins his 8th #Wimbledon title! 🎾

TENNIS : GARBINE MUGURUZA DISPOSES VENUS WILLIAMS; WINS FIRST WIMBLEDON CROWN !

- Friday, July 14, 2017

Edit this post

TENNIS : GARBINE MUGURUZA DISPOSES VENUS WILLIAMS ; WINS FIRST WIMBLEDON CROWN !

Garbine Muguruza saved two scary Set Points from a fiery Venus Williams on the First, went on to steal that Set, then she routed Venus and gave her a symbolic bagel on the Second, clinching her first ever Wimbledon crown!

Venus Williams, 7-Time Grand Slam Champion, who came out blazing early in the First Set, was no match for the younger Spaniard.

Venus Williams is now 37, while Garbine Muguruza is just 23.

"I grew up watching her play. .. it's incredible to play (with) her, here!" exclaimed Muguruza in her on-court interview, post match.

Tennis Legend Venus Williams, who won Wimbledon five times, has been in turmoil recently after being involved in a fatal car crash near her home in Florida where a 78-year-old man has been killed, last month.

Venus Williams has been sued in court.

Garbine Muguruza's maiden Wimbledon Trophy is her second Grand Slam victory.

She won the French Open last year but exited in tears in the 4th Round this year, after one-sided French fans heckled her while at play against hometown favorite Kiki Mladenovic of France.

Just over a month later, Garbine Muguruza is all smiles once again, as she overpowered Venus Williams to snatch her first Wimbledon Championship Title with commanding supremacy, 7-5; 6-0.

And, an up-close and personal chat with the future King and Queen of England - - Prince William and Princess Kate - - backstage after her win, would make her even smile much more!

23-year-old Garbine #Muguruza beats five-time #Wimbledon champion Venus Williams to the title
