Related: About this forumRoger Federer wins a semifinal match in Germany, has absolutely no idea he'd won
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/tennis-busted-racquet/roger-federer-wins-a-semifinal-match--has-absolutely-no-idea-he-d-won-175811615.htmlOver the weekend at the Gerry Weber Open, Roger Federer was in a familiar position.

The 17-time Grand Slam champion was serving up 6-4 in the tiebreaker, and when Kishikori's passing shot caught the tape and dropped on his side of the net, it was a match win for Federer.

Federer was all the way back beyond the baseline before he realized the match was his, running up to net with a sheepish smile on his face to shake hands with Kishikori and celebrate the win.

"Sorry kids but if you two want to be in next year's family picture, you're going to have to step up your game".
Eh, I kid. Fed seems like a good guy.
