Fed-Ex

The bigger they are they harder they fall.  First Nadal, then Azarenka, then Sharapova, now Federer, plus a host of injuries afflicting those with incidental fame.  The draw may look like a home run to the final for Andy Murray but still the colossus of Novak Djokovic endures and he was always going to be Murray's most dangerous opponent. 
Given the workrate of the slayer of the king, it seems many sportswriters have missed a punning trick due to their ignorance of inter-war Soviet history for Sergiy Stakhovsky.  His performance wasn't Stakhanovite, for the Ukrainian's achiecvement was all his own personal work, it was Stakhovonite.  I'm allowed that given that his favourite writer is Mikhail Bulgakov and he married (the unrelated) Russian model Anfisa Bulgakova.
