16x what you thought during the Wimbledon final

The final started with 300,000 viewers, but that quickly rose to over a million. Because when the fifth set began between Djokovic and Federer, we all sat down. Me too. Never seen such a great match. An inventory of thoughts.

1. But how?

How can you play for more than four hours and still be so fit and sharp and treat us to such beautiful rallies? Respect.

2. Do you remember Daphne?

When Richard Krajicek played the final and Daphne was sitting there so rarely beautiful with her baseball cap on. She didn't dare to take it off because she thought it would bring bad luck. Not that you think she had bad hair days or something.

3. You wouldn't want to be Miroslava Federer

That tension is just too much, right?

4. Where is Meghan actually?

She should be here too, right? Oh, she's at the premiere of The Lion King. Okay.

5. Are William and Kate sitting quite far apart now or am I imagining that?

6. What a ring Miroslava Federer has.

7. Would Anna Wintour be there too?

8. What does Federer earn if he wins?

Well, I looked that up. The winner gets about 2.2 million pounds.

9. Do women earn as much as men?

Yes! Hooray for Wimbledon. They equalized the salaries of men and women in 2009.

10. And what does the losing finalist actually earn?

Half. 1.1 million pounds.

11. That RING of Miroslava.

12. I think Miroslava resembles Monica Seles a bit.

13. Speaking of Monica Seles: are Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf still together?

Yes, they are. That's nice.

14. Roger Federer had such a lovely set of twins, right?

That's right. He even has two sets. A boy twin and a girl twin.

15. Hey, Federer is wearing a Uniqlo T-shirt, how nice.

I heard he gets 300 million for that, over a period of ten years. So 30 million a year. Not bad, right?

16. How many times has Federer won Wimbledon now?

Well, eight times. A total of twenty Grand Slams.

So that little ring, that can definitely be taken off.

We enjoyed you, Roger Federer. Thank you.

I think it's very unkind of me to only talk about Federer, so here are some fun facts about Novak Djokovic.

  • He is vegan.
  • He has a vegan restaurant (Eqvita) in Monaco.
  • He has published a diet cookbook.
  • He meditates. That's his way of achieving calm and peace.
  • Djoker, I think you're great too but I was a bit team Fed. Sorry.
