Roger Federer shed a single tear after Wimbledon loss

Sunday’s Wimbledon final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer took more than four hours. Hundreds of thousands of words will be written about it over the coming years. Tennis fans will talk about it for decades. But all you need to know about what happened Sunday on Centre Court, can be summed up in this one short clip from the post-match trophy presentation.

Federer famously cried after losing the 2009 Australian Open final to Rafael Nadal and many people took it as a sign that he was finished. Six months later, he had won the French Open and Wimbledon, back to back, and returned to No. 1 in the rankings. Yes, Federer will be 33 in a month. But don’t make the same mistake this time. This is a tear of instant sorrow, not lost, last chances.
