Before and After: How far we’ve come…

I’ve forgotten how much of a fugly fogey Federer used to be. A visual reminder for us all? 

 

Before: 2003

 

 

After: 2009

 

 

Before: 2003

 

Roger: words fail me.
Mirka: Fab fab fab *girlcrushed*

 

After: 2009

 

Transformation SUCCESS!

 

More Roger, Serena and Yummy Mummy Mirka pictures from the Winners’ Party

 

 

That is some suit. Swoonworthy. 

 

 

Serena was equally vava-voom in her floor-length black evening gown.

 

 

 

Rod Laver, please adopt me … *puppface* 

 

 

 

Roger and Virginia Wade posed for a photo as he continue to show off his superb waistline … 

 

 

 And as Roger only has eyes for Mirka, Serena must set her vixen eyes elsewhere…

 

 

Roger and Serena had to do this ‘Project Runway’ style entrance with their trophy. Game show much?

  1. Great post and great pics. Fantastic match. What else could be said? Roddick played the match of his life and had one shaky game in basically 4 and a half hours of near flawless serving. In the end it looked like he blinked first.

    15 majors for Federer is something I can’t see being broken by anyone in our lifetime.

    Will be back for more posts. Keep up the great work!

    • Hey Cameron, thanks for visiting.

      You’re spot on with Roddick, it WAS a matter of who blinked first, and all credit to Roger – he made sure he didn’t blink. Still can’t believe he served 50 aces. It must be so crushing to be a Roddick fan right now, he played the near perfect match, and still came up short.

  2. Very nice photos. It is a good reminder of how far Roger (and Serena) have come. I totally forgot about Roger with his long hair.

    • may the long hair days never return!

  3. I love the “Champions Dinner through the ages” comparisons. Hilarious! And sweet, too. I’m already starting to get nostalgic, wondering how much longer we’ll have Fed to coo over.

    And boy does he look great! I used to be annoyed by Anna W. but I must say she does a good job with Roger (assuming she still hand picks his suits as per “Strokes of Genius”)

    Some of my fave Dinner pics ever were from the 2006 (I think), when Roger wore his Nike blazer. There’s one shot in particular where he looks deliciously 60’s mod with his white jacket, membership pin and the Swiss flag behind him. Thought it was cool and classy to take the on court look off – but obviously glad it didn’t happen this time!

    Okay will go to bed now. 2am here. Must remind myself – Wimbledon’s OVER. Now what are we going to do???

    • Heehee 2006: http://twurl.nl/f5bagr

      If I were Amelie, I would rethink my life choices after that. ;)

      I’m actually so glad Wimbledon’s over! I need a few weeks to recover from French Open – Wimbledon! I feel like it’s taken so much out of me. Dunno how Mama Mirka handled it…

      • Love this photo! The one I was thinking of is just of Roger but I can’t find it anywhere. So I’ll have to let Amelie into my Fed love. Not that that’s a problem because I love her too!

  4. oooh! totally loving your posts and your pics!!! keep up the good work! Youre making us all proud! (fedfans unite!)

    here’s a hug from my federbear to yours! :)

    just wanted to say that when roddick won the first set, i wasnt worried at all. but by the time they were playing the 5th set, i really really had thoughts of roger losing. how sad is it for andy, to lose your serve just once — and it came at the wrong moment :(

    • Thanks for the federbear hug bonbonita! I dare say my federbear needs a bit of TLC – i tend to get violent with it when federer plays like crap. :(

      heehee but who are you kidding? you cant be that sad that ARod lost his serve right in the last game… ;)

  5. I might have guessed Virgina Wade would have taken advantage of the moment to get her picture with Federer – she is such a Fedophile!

    I love it that she makes no efforts to conceal it!

    One of my fave commentators.

    • Hahaha I didn’t know Virginia Wade’s a fedophile! She can be my best friend now ;)

  6. You know the night didn’t end until everybody got up and had a raging time singing and dancing to “Celebration.”

    • tough for Mirka and Foeterer!
