Do you think Willis will continue on tour after this?

He will be low 400's ranking after today.


Unless he gets some favors or wins few futures its still not enough to get to atp 250/500 events.

LOL. I love the Willis story. What a thing to be a journeyman and then finally get to play a Slam, win a match, play center court vs. Fed. I first thought that this was his last gasp and he was done after this tournament. But, he's only 25. Granted, he's still only ranked 410ish, so making money isn't going to be easy. I'm betting he gets some spot endorsements out of this, a few commercials, since he's such the "every man" with the great story.

Said he was going to use the money from Qualifying/Winning the first round to get a full year on the tour next season.

I doubt he does that well, but you never know. He might keep progressing, It's just that his ranking doesn't allow him to do much in terms of money making tournaments. And, where would he get wildcards outside of the UK? Would the Newport tournament director throw him a wildcard post-Wimbledon.

This is wonderful, Willis is doing it for all of us.

Federer though can't be enjoying this much. If anything it's probably taking his game backwards, and the risk of injuring himself in these junkball rallies must be on his mind.

He has some legit skills. Though clearly he's playing elevated tennis given the adrenaline. He' s LOVING this, just soaking it all in, and it's a joy to see.

Federer is goating just like in the previous match in a crucial game, when he needed to break in the last set.
