LONDON -- Less than an hour after smashing through the Wimbledon semifinal, defeating 11th seed Tomas Berdych in straight sets and earning a spot in his 11th Wimbledon final, Roger Federer was asked in his postmatch press conference how many more years he plans "to carry on" in the sport. In his typically gracious manner, Federer smiled at the reporter, thought about the question and then answered it earnestly.
"Health has definitely a role to play in my decision-making, no doubt about it," Federer said. "As I move forward, I'll be very cautious of how much I will play, how much I think is healthy.
