Yes. Roger Federer was able to serve by his opponent Sunday, the overly biceped Rafael Nadal, who is getting way too good on grass.
I got a hold of Monsieur Federer on his portable just a few minutes after the match. The conversation went something like this:
Me: Congratulations on the win. We were on the edge of our seats the whole match and when you hit that final smash, we went crazy.
Rog: I was pretty excited too. I almost started crying before I even hit the grass. I was so relieved. There were moments when I started to doubt.
Me: And then, before they gave you the cup, I could tell it was emotional. Especially when you pulled on your long pants and court-side jacket.
Rog: What do you mean?
Me: Well, as soon as you stood up and started walking toward center court, Wife said: Hey, Roger’s got his pants on backwards. His pockets are facing the wrong way. Man, you must have been really emotional to put your pants on backwards. Way too funny.
Rog: What are you talking about? That’s the way they’re supposed to be worn.
Me: Oh, come on. We saw you trying to pull your coat down so no one would notice. But Wife has sharp eyes. We could even see the
fly was in the back…
Rog: Now, what a minute. I’m a pro. I know how to put my pants on. Come on!
Me: And we were thinking all along: Your sponsor is going to be so upset. They made you a really cool outfit, and there you are holding the trophy over your head,
back-pockets front-ways. But we understand. It was an emotional moment.
Rog: You’ve got it all wrong. I’ve changed sponsors. I’m now wearing ekiN’s outfits.
Me: Oh… No wonder things looked backwards. I’ll tell Wife.
