Roger Federer has marched into the final of Wimbledon without dropping a set, including a 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4), 6-4 win over Tomas Berdych on Friday. The Czech did his best to make it a battle, perhaps with the help of his shoes, which happen to be adorned with Novak Djokovic's face:

No one missed the detail on Berdych's shoes:

They both happen to wear the Adidas Barricade 7 sneakers:

But was there really no Djokovic-less pair?

Tomas Berdych is wearing shoes that have Djokovic's face on the tongue. Why? "They are fitting well and they don't hurt my feet"

It seems not. The shoes certainly worked for Berdych for as long as could be expected.
