So think about all the money charity Oxfam will be getting if Federer wins, before your own national pride (just giving a cheeky dig, not serious guys, but this is a cool story)

Holmes: What a wonderful idea this gentleman had. I salute him

Mr. Newlife may be he best judge of tennis talent ever? To judge that Roger will beat Sampras' record in 2003?! Amazing!

I know, I mean people predicted Fed would break Sampras's 14 but only when he started cleaning up after 2004, to predict that in 2003 is amazing.

Kind of sad the guy died in 2009, i suppose before Federer won his 14th and 15th slams (or maybe he saw that but left the winnings to oxfam when he died)

Regardless of the wonderful Mr Newlife, Federer still needs to win for humanity. The philanthropic work of Sir Lucas must not go in vain

hahah. yes can't forget him. Wasn't glad Nadal was out at the time, but considering this might be a Fedal final otherwise, I am glad. Thanks for saving us from a likely repeat of a final i've seen about 6 times before :lol:
