If Federer had to lose to anyone, I guess it would have to be Murray. Wimbledon was a huge redemptive victory for Roger, and the Olympic game win was a huge redemptive win for Murray since Federer won Wimby over him lol. Congratulations Murray. Sort of devastated by Federer's loss, but he really had a great run this year. Just sad about his chances for a golden career slam though :/ People will always find something to criticize, and I have a feeling that in the coming years they will say that his lack of a career golden slam is a dealbreaker or something  Federer played like garbage, Murray played pretty dang well, simple as that I guess. GG. | ||

A lot of others feel that way too, but honestly there are a lot of other legendary players in the running, and I'd like him to have every advantage he can get by the time he retires haha. But yeah, obviously it's hard to compare players across eras too...but still. Federer is probably my childhood idol  But yeah, great win for Murray and the home crowd of course! ^^ | ||
