I can't believe it, Sports Illustrated put Roger Federer on the cover!
I mean, I was so mad at ESPN for covering Tiger Woods's Memorial victory before Roger's stirring French Open win.
Granted Tiger rallied from five shots back with a closing-round 65, and Roger had a deceptively routine straight-sets win over a seemingly unheralded opponent (the fantastic Robin Soderling).
But, c'mon, Tiger's win was in a routine tournament (even if it was Jack Nicklaus's tournament). Roger won a Major. Not just any Major, but the one that has always bedeviled him. He completed the Career Grand Slam. He is now tied with Pete Sampras with 14 Slams.
I love ESPN, but they really should defer to journalistic perspective over simplistic ratings-grabbers every once in a while.
Anyways, some other photos to get you in the right frame of mind for Wimbledon (but Rafael Nadal's sad withdrawal doesn't clear the path for Roger just as yet, that dour bum Andy Murray is still there to contend with...):
