Federer humble brags and names his Wimbledon trophy

The Swiss had dinner with Arthur, the Wimbledon trophy.

Published Jul 30, 2017

Excuse Roger Federer for wanting to show off his trophy. The Swiss won a record 19th Grand Slam crown at Wimbledon, and just wants to share the moment with you. He also revealed that he has named his hardware after Arthur Gore.

Gore, a British player born in 1868, reached No. 1 in 1901 and also won two gold Olympic medals. He became the oldest man to win Wimbledon when he won it in 1909 for the third time at the age of 41.

Federer chose the year for good reason, putting extra emphasis on the 19 and 8 in 1908 for his 19th major and eighth Wimbledon crown.
