Roger Federer is praying at the temple of Wawrinka today after the pair pulled a huge upset in Beijing.
The Swiss stylist, who was stunned by James Blake in the quarterfinals, and his doubles partner Stanislas Wawrinka ousted the top seeded Bryan brothers 7-6 (6), 6-4 in the Olympics semifinals. The dynamic duo will face the unseeded team of Simon Aspelin and Thomas Johansson for the gold medal.
Fed definitely needed some divine intervention here and it looks like he got some.
And boy does he look happy about it!!!
