LONDON -- How much money might you be willing to pay for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to play tennis against Roger Federer on Centre Court at Wimbledon?Or merely for the chance to emerge from the tunnel leading out to the green grass there and hear the full-throated yells of nearly 15,000 standing, clapping spectators pulling for you?Or, perhaps best of all, for the chance to look up at a guest box and see your parents, sister, brother and cousin leaping out of their seats, rejoicing, after you conjured up a beautifully curled lob that floated over the man considered by many to be the sports greatest player in history and landed in to win a 14-stroke exchange?Marcus Willis, who lives at home with Mom and Dad and works as a tennis instructor at a club in central England, got to experience all of that and more Wednesday, and it didnt cost the 25-year-old a dime. Authentic Air Max And Jordans . Actually, Willis earned the biggest paycheck of his career despite winding up with the sort of result everyone expected when a guy ranked 772nd in the world somehow found himself across the net from the man who spent more weeks at No. 1 than anyone: a 6-0, 6-3, 6-4 victory for Federer in the second round at the All England Club.I did look up twice as I bounced the ball, and saw Roger Federer, and thought, `Oh, havent seen this before, Willis said. Yeah, it was surreal. ... I had to get used to it and play.He earned the right to be out there against the 17-time Grand Slam champion thanks to an improbable, straight-from-a-screenplay couple of weeks that included victories in three matches during a playoff for low-ranked British players, three more in the qualifying rounds at Wimbledon, and then another Monday in his very first tour-level match.Its all been incredible and a bit of a blur, said Willis, a left-hander with a strong serve who slices shots off both wings. Ive gone from one extreme to the other in a matter of days.Willis, who charges about $40 per hour for lessons, truly became an overnight sensation. His girlfriend -- who, in keeping with the Hollywood nature of the whole episode, recently persuaded him not to give up on his dream of being a regular on the professional tour -- was interviewed on the BBC. So were his family members. His loud group of supporters, who led rowdy chants that reverberated under the closed roof at the generally staid venue, got the TV treatment, too.I said a few days ago: This story is gold, Federer said. Hes got a career after this. He definitely made the most of it.Federers career prize money is just shy of $100 million, and that doesnt include plenty from endorsement deals. Willis entered Wimbledon with about $350 this year and less than $100,000 for his career in prize money -- and, needless to say, zero endorsements. On Wednesday, Willis white shirt, which he bought about a year ago, was made by Federers apparel sponsor and had the gray initials RF etched on the left sleeve.On another rain-filled day that left a dozen men still unable to complete their first-round matches while No. 3 Federer and No. 1 Novak Djokovic moved into the third, Willis stepped out on court with a wave and the widest smile imaginable, shaking his head at the scene.He found other reasons to grin and revel in the moment. That shot in the third game that even Federer applauded and allowed Willis to boast with a chuckle later: I can say, `I lobbed Roger Federer. A 113 mph ace Willis celebrated with arms raised. A forehand winner that finally, a half-hour and more than a set in, gave Willis his first game -- and created pandemonium in the stands.More often, of course, things did not go his way. Willis, who leaves with a check for 50,000 pounds (about $67,000), would produce a genuinely impressive shot, only to see Federer top it, including with several no-look, over-the-shoulder volleys. Heres guessing that Willis opponents in local leagues do not wield a racket quite the way Federer can.You cant leave the ball anywhere short or high. Its just gone, Willis said. Hes just ridiculous.Willis, it turns out, made an impression on Federer, too.As I was playing, Federer said, I was thinking ... `This is definitely one of the matches Ill remember.Imagine, then, how Willis felt about the 1 hour, 25 minutes they spent together on the worlds most famous tennis court.Not my standard Wednesday, that, everymans everyman said at the end of it all. Next Wednesday might be quite different.---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich Wholesale Air Max And Jordans .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.

We want to write our own history, the captain said.We are a team that have got a goal under Eddie Jones to be the best in the world and winning this game at the weekend is a huge step for us going forward as a team.Losses and wins are all in the past. We have been building for this game for a long, long time. The team is prepared and are desperate to win.The thing for us is the next step as a team. We are always focusing on the next game. Beating South Africa this weekend is just next step in this teams progression.England have built an impressive head of steam under Jones with a Grand Slam and 3-0 series whitewash of Australia among the results that have lifted them to second in the world rankings.But Hartley insists they start from scratch against South Africa while drawing strength from the knowledge they are heading in the right direction.Its not a momentum roll. If we had played the Australia series and then wed gone straight into playing South Africa, then we could take momentum from that, Hartley said. Air Max Jordan Shoes. What we can take from it is experience -- we know that weve been in tough corners before and weve fought our way out. During our last Test in Australia in June we showed character there, especially in the final 20 minutes of that game, which was unbelievable.When the chips are down you look around and you see the characters youve got in your team because you know youve been in tough situations with these guys before.So its not so much about momentum, its about experiences and trusting your team-mates, knowing what it takes to regain control of the game or make the final push to win a game.People talk about us being on a run but that is only on paper. We have drawn a line under those matches. If you talk about momentum, well we have just come together as a team.South Africa are at the end of a season so they are battle-hardened and together as a team.But we need to find that Test match intensity in those opening exchanges and get up to speed pretty sharpish because they have been playing week-in, week-out.Hartley has played only twice since recovering from a back injury sustained in early September, but the hooker insists he is ready to win his 76th cap.I had a dodgy back but it was a long time ago and I feel great. I had some time off and Ive played two games for Northampton. Not full games, but the way we train and prepare ... its faster than a game, Hartley said.I know how I need to feel before a game and the way weve prepared here has got me ready for a Test match on Saturday.
