Sure, Roger Federer lost to Stanislas Wawrinka at this year's French Open, but clearly there's no hard feelings toward his friend and countryman.

Federer hopped on Twitter shortly after Wawrinka shocked world No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the French Open final on Sunday, sending out this simple note of congratulations to his fellow Swiss:

The "CH," if you're curious, refers to the official Latin name of Switzerland -- Confoederatio Helvetica.

Federer, of course, knows a little something about being in Wawrinka's position, having won 17 major titles. The two have now combined to bring the country 19.

Wawrinka dispatched Federer in straight sets in a relatively easy quarterfinal showdown in Paris. The French Open title is his second major after also winning the Australian Open in 2014.
