The 30-second film, which aired on BBC1 straight after the match, with the Nike branding removed, features sports icons Serena Williams, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, John McEnroe.
It also features Pete Sampras, who held the Grand Slam record for seven years up until Federer's win against Andy Roddick yesterday.

big fan of The Fed's, but found the whole thing quite cringe worthy...

Whether you like it or not you've got to give credit to Nike for getting a 30 second ad on BBC1!
Watching yesterday, to me it looked like a blatant Nike ad, but the BBC obviously didn't see it this way...

Yes, pretty sketchy that the BBC allowed this to shown, even if they did remove the Nike branding. When was the last time they showed a whole ad for a commercial product as part of their programming content? Who do we complain to?
