Anyone stay up like me to watch this historic match? It's a throwback to 15 years ago.

I stayed up and am still up. Unbelievable. Federer fans have waited a long time for this.

I did...wow, what a match!
In a related question, do you know why the ball kids do the hand motions they do? It looks similar to what blackjack and craps dealers do to show the cameras they aren't stealing chips.

I think it's to show the player that they have no more balls to give them.

Federer is arguably the greatest male tennis player of all time.

He is 35, so I was surprised--and happy--to see him win another Grand Slam.

Dude doesn't look like an athlete.
