Fed is the #GOAT, tweets Woods

ROGER Federer praised golf superstar Tiger Woods for the American's support as he stormed to a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon title.

Woods tweeted Federer but Federer didn't need to resort to social media to find that out.

Woods had already sent him a personal message of congratulation. "Hats off to Murray for a great fight. But we saw why Fed is the #GOAT," tweeted Woods, using the short form for 'greatest of all time'.

"I didn't need to get it through Twitter, I got one from himself," Federer told reporters.

"He was very pumped up these last couple days for me. He was very supportive. It's nice when other greats like this do believe in me. They push me further," said Federer.

Federer, however, wouldn't reveal what Woods's personal message had been.
