Mailbag
So be honest, Jon. What happened? Did Roger Federer put in a great performance? Or did Tennys Sandgren give it away? I mean seven match points is brutal! • Yes, a lot of questions about the wackiest match of the tournament. For the second major in a row, it looked like Federer’s body was going to wage an insurrection. Then, his groin loosened, the opponent tightened, the ghosts came out, so did the Federer aura…and the 20-time major prevailed in five sets.
