Since their first and only slam final to date, Federer reached the final at the next four slams.

Thanks NBC, and thanks Wimbledon. Thanks for again banding together to try and ruin the sport. If that’s your combined intent, your combined goal, you are really doing a helluva a great job!

Wimbledon rain aside, how the hell does either Rainer Schuettler or Arnaud Clement have to opportunity to get to the semifinals of another Grand Slam? Weren’t these guys long gone, washed up years ago? Hasn’t the strength of the tour improved enough over the years to prevent such players from getting this far?
