Editors notes : 10sballs.com congratulates the Swiss Team. It was a great finals. Roger Federer who looked shaky to even play this weekend. ( Back Issues) Came thru to show the world he is “THE GOAT ” it can’t be denied now. He has added the Dwight Davis Cup to his trophy case. We think the addition of the Auzzie David MacPherson as a doubles consultant was a brilliant move. Roger and Stan played the best doubles match that we’ve seen them play together. The final with Roger playing Dick Gasquet was sheer brilliance and magical tennis to watch. The awards ceremony and comraderie was the best. The French team and the Swiss team were all great sportsman.FYI Roger has won the Stefan Edberg ATP sportsmanship award TEN years now. This year was great to have your coach be Stefan and hand you your MOËT award in London @ the Barclays ATP world finals.
