Roger Federer just won the 2017 Australian Open Finals against Rafael Nadal. This came after Roger Federer took a 6 month break from tennis to refresh himself.
If you did not have a chance to watch the match live, the video below offers a great overview of the Finals. Obviously it was a really close match, and represents some of the finest tennis...Also, it is kind of funny [T.

The BATMAN
Rolex GMT-Master
Roger is wearing his stainless steel Rolex GMT-Master in the photos above with the trophy that were taken when he won the 2017 Australian Open. This watch is nicknamed The Batman as it has a "Night & Day" Ceramic Bezel that is black and blue.
Rolex collectors and enthusiasts love to use nicknames for different Rolex Sport models, like The Pepsi, or Coke GMT-Master or the 7up Submariner for the original LV Submariner. The all Green LV Submariner is nicknamed The Hulk, and Rolex collectors have affectionally nicknamed the Night & Day Rolex GMT-Master as "The Batman" since it is silver, black and blue like Batman's uniform. Very cool!

In November 2013, this changed when Rolex invited Jake to take an unprecdented journey into the heart of Rolex to learn and report on everything he witnessed and learned.
