...knew that Federer ate candy bars before Grand Slam finals? The one request he's made to the All-England Club [which runs Wimbledon] is that they furnish the locker rooms with Kit Kats. The thing I found most remarkable is the Wimbledon locker room, which the players share. I played middle school basketball, and we wouldn't prepare in the same room as the opposition.
