I was watching CNN International's World Sport: Best of 2007 earlier this evening and, surprise! Federer's amazing between-the-legs shot during his match against Bracialli in the early rounds of Dubai Duty Free Open earlier this year was shown. CNN International had just named it World Sport's Play of the Year! Another perfectly wonderful way to end the year. All bow down to King Roger the Great!
Here's a hilarious video of a few ATP tennis stars singing (or at least trying to sing) Jingle Bells. Be sure to watch it til the end!
Roger Federer took some time out during his exhibition series with Pete Sampras to talk with CNN International's Anjali Rao on Talk Asia over the weekend.
In case you missed it (I watched the original airing and nearly all the replays because I kept getting called away from the tv), there is a transcript of the interview over at CNN's website. Another blog on Federer has also compiled the videos of the interview as well.
For the third year running, Roger has been nominated for Athlete of the Year by the United States Sports Academy.
The winner will be decided by an online vote the USA Today and the MSNBC websites that opened today and will be ongoing until 24 December 2007.
The world number one in men's tennis won the Outstanding Athlete of the Year in the past two years and could win it for a third straight year if he once again receives the highest number of votes in both the Male and Female categories.
Tennis fans unite to vote King Roger the Great for Outstanding Athlete of the Year!
