CINCINNATI — Roger Federer isn't in such a rush anymore. He's doing things his way and taking time to savor each moment.
After losing to Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon final, he took a month off from tournament play to be with his family and visit Africa as part of his charity work. The break seemed to work for the 34-year-old Swiss star.
Federer returned to the court in Cincinnati last week and won the tournament in dominating fashion, moving him up to the No. 2 seed in the U.S. Open. And when he had his seventh Cincinnati trophy in hand, he headed over to his family in the stands to enjoy the moment with them.
