Sports stars line up to be Federer's fanboysNike has gotten pretty good at the quick-turnaround ads for major sports events, the most recent of which was Roger Federer's record-breaking 15th Grand Slam win this weekend. The charming homage shown above features an athletic A-list that only Nike could muster: Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, John McEnroe, Serena Williams and, of course, the dethroned-but-deferential Pete Sampras. I'm guessing that Andy Roddick would have been happy to make an appearance too, if he hadn't been busy fending off Federer in a showdown that lasted longer than a Francis Ford Coppola movie. —Posted by David Griner |

As a fanatical tennis player that line at the end really put a smile on my face.
Now do the right thing Sports Illustrated and finally give him Sportsman of the Year.

with all the talent, you'd think they could put more than 5 minutes into working on that ad

This ad was done internally by Nike. Not by Wieden.

i think he deserved what the other players said to him, in my opinion he is the most talented tennis player and it is good when other like sampras congratulate him
