Federer Hopes He Never Tires of Lifting Wimbledon Trophies
Federer Hopes He Never Tires of Lifting Wimbledon Trophies | 
Roger Federer hopes he never grows tired of collecting Wimbledon trophies after claiming his seventh with a 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 defeat of Andy Murray. “Any Grand Slam final, particularly here at Wimbledon , is unusual. You never quite get used to (winning) it,” said the 30-year-old, now back to No. 1.
The loss was a blow to British tennis hopes, with Murray the first home finalist since 1938. the match was concluded under the closed roof of Centre court. “Today was unique because of playing Andy. Obviously, you know, being able to play or finish a match under the roof, I don’t think that’s ever been done before here for a final. So that’s been different, as well. And nice, of course.
“I know the occasion and how big it was for Andy and myself. I’m happy I got a victory today, but obviously it was a very, very special.”
And even after lifting an all-time l7th singles title at a major, Federer says he is still absorbing it all. “Honestly this one hasn’t quite sunk in yet for some reason. I guess I was trying to be so focused in the moment itself that when it all happened I was just so happy that it was all over and that the pressure was, you know, gone basically.
“I almost didn’t try to picture myself with the trophy or try to think too far ahead really. Even though there was so much on the line, so I didn’t try to think of the world No. 1 ranking or the seventh Wimbledon or the 17th Grand Slam.”
