Federer almost Fall(a)s in Wimbledon first round.: Top-seeded Roger Federer fought his way back from a two-set deficit to top Colombian Alejandro Falla 5-7, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-1), 6-0 on Centre Court in Wimbledon's opening round. "I've lost many matches this year that I should have won," Federer said afterward, "but this match is one I should have lost but I came through."
Oh, and now that I can watch the football and the tennis at my desk in the office without anyone noticing anything other than a dip in my productivity (which is notoriously low anyway), I may never work again.

That was a surprisingly great first round match. The announcers were talking about how rare it is for Federer to have to play five sets.

Is it just me, or would this make you even more nervous if you were playing him next? There's an element of "What else do we have to do?!"
