It's cringey stuff but kudos to whoever came up with this -

The tennis Messiah has returned,
and He's got a message for us:
Once again you buried me too soon
And once again I resurrected.
I may not walk on water like I used to
But I can still pull a miracle or two
Multiply the winners
And turn water into Gatorade.


Stanislas Judas Wawrinka tried his best of five to betray me.
But God Laver was watching
from high above in the stands
We poor souls had lost faith in him
and had started worshipping other idols
A sad Scot,
And a skinny Serb.
But after two weeks in the desert,
Our wandering hearts found their way home
And the God Laver Arena
Was not big enough to show our devotion

It sure has been a bumpy road
And the medical time out between the 4th and the 5th set,
brought back the old doubts.
But, seemingly unconcerned by the pain
He allayed our fears
And we all rose to acclaim our hero.
And here we are, in the year 35 A.R....
After Roger!
One step away from fulfilling the prophecy
Of Peter the apostle Sampras :
The eighteenth Slam you will win
And alone you will stand in glory.


The Self-Appointed Commissioner of Tennis
Has a confession to make:
There has been a time where I lost faith
I thought the baseline slugging festival that tennis had become
Would condemn Roger to the meanders of the Top 20.
But he came to me in my sleep
'Be not afraid, for I see the light.
The balls are quicker.
The court is quicker.
And when there is speed, there is hope!'


Now, repeat after me -
Roger is good!
Roger is great!
Roger is GOOD!
Roger is GREAT!

and this was made before the final :) McEnroe expected his win in final as he was quoting Federer has best chances winning this slam because of the way he is moving and the faster surface. I think all others including his brother Pattrick was guessing Nadal would win. The lady commentator on ESPN2 was also guessing Federer would win, I don't know her name. I also like this video in which McEnroe and Becker making fun of Joker bouncing the ball and Nadal picking his butt every time he servers :)

Johnny Mac needs to be careful here, this is how cults start.
