And there is this ignorant kid who’d no idea how privileged he is. Life isn’t fair.— Piyush yadav (@piyushyadav928) July 12, 2019

The boy appears to be reading Viking Myths and Sagas by Rosalind Kerven. The book’s blurb says: “The stories of the Viking Age rank amongst the world’s greatest narrative traditions. Preserved orally through countless generations and eventually transcribed in the 13th century, their vividly imagined characters and high dramas are richly embroidered with dark humour and wisdom.”
With his victory over Nadal, Federer became the third oldest player to play in a Grand Slam final after 39-year-old Ken Rosewall featured in the 1974 Wimbledon and US Open finals. “I’m exhausted, it was tough at the end. Rafa played some unbelievable shots to stay in the match, it was a very high level,” said Federer.
“The battles with Rafa are always special. The biggest points went my way, there were some tight ones in the long rallies.”
“Novak is the defending champion and he has shown that this week,” concluded Federer.
