I wouldn't blame you if you ducked off of NBC immediately following the 4.2 day long Wimbledon Men's Final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal yesterday. But I would urge you never to do that again. You see, Wimbledon is one of those rare sporting events where they require the second place winner (read: loser) to stay on the court and enjoy the champion's celebration. Then, after all that, they interview said loser. Your interviewer is John McEnroe and he is awkwardly asking for hugs.
Sure, Federer just lost to Nadal and was about to cry and could be unseated as the world's number one. And maybe his reign as an absurdly dominant tennis player as come to an end. It was still great tennis and that's what Johnny Mac was thanking him for.
