Federer: 'It's Been An Exciting Road'

Roger Federer had yet to hit a ball at The Championships, but the 35 year old was already smiling.

5 Things We Learned At Wimbledon

1) Federer’s Grass Focus Pays Off Although some fans were surprised at Federer’s choice to skip the clay-court season and prioritise a bid to win a historic eighth Wimbledon title, his decision paid off handsomely. After shaking off an opening-round loss to Tommy Haas at the Mercedes Cup, Federer won his next 12 matches and 30 sets on grass. He stormed to a ninth Gerry Weber Open title (d.
