You have to love Brits. So proper, so polished, so personable.
Wimbledon has always been a prime example…until this year.
Novak Djokovic, the defending champion, beat Roger Federer in Sunday’s final.
And Wimbledon had the bad manners to telegraph their choice for the trophy. Both before and after the match, their social media feeds were full of Federer — waxing poetic on the possibility of his eighth title, and openly weeping at his eventual defeat.
In contrast, Serena Williams’ win in the ladies’ championship was celebrated without question or sadness for those she felled along the way.
I expect more from you, Wimbledon. Remember — even Federer had to defeat favorites in his early years at the tourney.
Today’s top men’s seeds deserve the same respect.
The Sticky Egg 
Seeing pink
It’s the US Open Men’s Championship. Djokovic is playing Federer. All is right with the world.
Almost.
Even his tennis shoes are dyed this neon bright color.
Eww.
I’m not a fan of pink, but this isn’t an issue of personal preference.
The hot pink is an unusual choice, and I’m wondering if it was psychological. Did Roger’s team hope that the color would have its rumored effect of sapping his opponent’s strength?
Stan Wawrinka wore a similar hue in his triumphant run earlier this year at the French Open — in plaid shorts, no less.
Hmmm….
