A design by Alvaro Sanmarti makes the cover of The National Sport on Thursday, January 26, 2017 – and it's a one you could set your watch to.
We preview the semi-final showdown between Swiss compatriots Roger Federer, right, and Stan Wawrinka – master against apprentice.
Wawrinka called his one-time mentor “the best player of all time”, while Federer said of his last-four opponent: “He’s become such a good player, I super respect that, that the guy is able to transform his game around like that, in his footwork, in his mind, also in his game plan.”
Read the preview here.
