Feel Quote by Roger Federer

“Of course I always feel people should be happy for the guy who won and not for the guy who lost. I just kept it together after being so close to victory for so long, it was just a big explosion, and then after that it was all over and it sunk in and took me a while.” quote by Roger Federer
