Roger Federer...World Number 1 once again!

Roger Federer won his 7th Wimbledon Title yesterday and his record 17th Major Title overall.  He is entering the twilight of his career, a time when skills diminish ever so slightly and father time robs us of a step or two.  He is now ranked #1 in the world again, a heck of an achievement for a 31 year old in the world of tennis.  The last time a man was ranked number 1 after the age of 30 was during the legendary run in the early 2000's by the great Andre Agassi!

This title was extra special for Roger as it was the first time his twin girls were old enough to see and understand that daddy won the big match!  I salute a great man, a great champion, and fellow over 30 representative showing that athletic prowess doesn't end in the 20's.  He now sets his sights on the US Open...and I wouldn't bet against him!
