That volley as he trotted back to his seat was cool as ice lol.
Some great stuff from Fed, but as many have said, he needs a bigger test to gauge his level. This will come, but why not enjoy each victory regardless of the opposition. Well done Roger!
Federer draw looks good to semis now. If he and Murray can make it, should make for an exciting, hopefully close match...both look in fairly good grass form.

He's not that bad. He's got a 9-8 Wimbledon record with five top-100 wins. No big ones, though. Compare to Murray's opponent who's got a 5-7 record and three top-100 wins (one over Davydenko as 4th seed) and Darcis, who improved his record to 2-3 and got his first top-100 win and you see that Federer was no more lucky in his 1st round draw than the others. Except Djokovic, of course, who faces an opponent of higher standard. Flo Mayer has actually never lost in Wimby R1 in seven appearances. So we'll get another "never in R1" streak broken today....
Not sure why Federer is getting some hate here Federer played pretty well bearing in mind with his opponent. He served well which is important if he wants to succeed in the latter stages of the tournament. He shouldn't be falling to the trap that Federer is back and guaranteed on his chances for the title just like the results he was getting in R1-3 at FO but now that Nadal is out, he should get some relief.
(Maybe I should get involved with the MTF way and living with the connotations and lingo people use and overall show the obnoxious behavour towards people like some others so I can join the fun around here. )
