It’s not just him, it’s us.
Roger Federer faces Andy Murray in the Wimbledon men’s singles final tonight, Manila time.
Pressure on Murray:
-To fulfill the expectations of 60 million Britons who have been waiting close to 80 years for a British men’s singles champion at Wimbledon.
-To win his first grand slam.
-To be acknowledged as a Briton and not “that Scottish guy”.
Pressure on Federer:
-None, actually, he’s done everything. But pressure on Federer devotees for Federer to win after a two-year drought, because our lives make more sense when he wins.
