At Wimbledon, he made it to the quarterfinals but was defeated by Roger Federer in straight sets.

In 2011, on the Reputation Institute's study of the World's most respected, admired and trusted personalities, Federer ranked No. 2 just behind Nelson Mandela but ahead of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey and Bono.

Nelson Mandela
Becoming chairman of the militant group, Mandela gained ideas from literature on guerrilla warfare by Marxist militants Mao and Che Guevara as well as from the military theorist Carl von Clausewitz.{{sfnm|1a1=Benson|1y=1986|1p=107|2a1=Mandela|2y=1994|2pp=397–398|3a1=Meredith|3y=2010|3pp=197–198, 200–201|4a1=Smith|4y=2010|4pp=209–214|5a1=Sampson|5y=2011|5pp=151–154}} Although initially declared officially separate from the ANC so as not to taint the latter's reputation, MK was later widely recognised as the party's armed wing.{{sfnm|1a1=Smith|1y=2010|1pp=209–210|2a1=Sampson|2y=2011|2p=151}} Most early MK members were white communists who were able to conceal Mandela in their homes; after hiding in communist Wolfie Kodesh's flat in Berea, Mandela moved to the communist-owned Liliesleaf Farm in Rivonia, there joined by Raymond Mhlaba, Slovo and Bernstein, who put together the MK constitution.{{sfnm|1a1=Benson|1y=1986|1p=107|2a1=Mandela|2y=1994|2pp=397–409|3a1=Lodge|3y=2006|3pp=92–93|4a1=Meredith|4y=2010|4pp=201–204|5a1=Smith|5y=2010|5pp=191, 222–229|6a1=Sampson|6y=2011|6pp=154–156}} Although in later life Mandela denied, for political reasons, ever being a member of the Communist Party, historical research published in 2011 strongly suggested that he had joined in the late 1950s or early 1960s. This was confirmed by both the SACP and the ANC after Mandela's death.

Raonic reached his first ATP 1000 quarterfinals at back-to-back events in August, losing to John Isner at the Canadian Open and Stan Wawrinka at the Cincinnati Masters.
He defeated Nick Kyrgios in the first round in straight sets and narrowly defeated 2014 champion Stan Wawrinka in four close tiebreak sets in the second round.

Wawrinka has a tattoo on his left forearm in italic script that quotes the Irish writer Samuel Beckett in English: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." On his right rib, he has his daughter's name.

In 1946, Jean-Paul Sartre’s magazine {{lang|fr|Les Temps modernes}} published the first part of Beckett's short story "''Suite''" (later to be called "{{lang|fr|La Fin}}", or "The End"), not realising that Beckett had only submitted the first half of the story; Simone de Beauvoir refused to publish the second part.

Martina Navratilova referred to Raonic as "a new star" saying that "the sky is the limit". '' The Sydney Morning Herald'' referred to Raonic as a "future superstar".

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald is developing a feature film documentary film about Navratilova as his childhood hero and as a social justice pioneer, with Reese Witherspoon's production company, Hello Sunshine.

Glenn Greenwald American journalist, lawyer and writer
Following the ''Charlie Hebdo'' murders in January 2015, David Bernstein in ''The Washington Post'' wrote Greenwald (in an ''Intercept'' article) "certainly appears to believe that ''Der Sturmer''-like anti-Semitic cartoons are the moral and logical equivalent of making fun of Moses or Muhammed." In his ''Intercept'' article, Greenwald contrasted anti-Muslim cartoons with "some not-remotely-blasphemous-or-bigoted yet very pointed and relevant cartoons by the brilliantly provocative Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff", a cartoonist who has been accused of producing antisemitic images.

Carlos Latuff
In their 2003 Annual Report, the Stephen Roth Institute compared Latuff's cartoons of Ariel Sharon to "the antisemitic caricatures of Philipp Rupprecht in Julius Streicher's '' Der Stürmer''." The SRI also complained over a cartoon showing Argentinian revolutionary Che Guevara in a Palestinian keffiyeh.<ref name="SRI2">{{cite web
