I am #FedFan. I can only tolerate watching @kandersonatp defeat @rogerfederer at @wimbledon in 15-20 minute chunks. I had watched most of the 5th set live, and I'm watching it now from DVR. Just reached Kevin's break to go up 6-5 in 3rd set. #tennis

Watching this is like watching a disaster movie. Knowing how the match or movie ends, innocuous events which the participants hardly notice loom large. 4 example, the valve improperly turned off at the nuclear power plant or the transposition of numbers in the airplane manifest

4-5, Federer missed a backhand passing shot that would have given him a 0-30 lead. Serving at 5-5, Fed narrowly missed two first serve aces. Could've, should've, would've. & I feel miserable.

On the other hand, Anderson probably should have won the 2nd set. He was up an early break & up in the tiebreaker. He also had more chances to break than Fed did.

At any rate, that's just how sports is. Congrats to @KAndersonATP for that great win & another impressive win against @JohnIsner in SF. I wish he'd had more gas for the final. Hey @Wimbledon, when r u going to end your final set torture policy?
