The data samples of $e^+e^-$ and $\\mu^+\\mu^-$ events collected by the CDF detector correspond to the full 9.4 fb$^{-1}$ run II sample and yield an effective electroweak mixing angle $\\sin^2\\theta^{\\rm lept}_{\\rm eff}(M_Z) = 0.23222 \\pm 0.00046$. The corresponding result reported by the D0 collaboration with the full 9.4 fb$^{-1}$ $e^+e-$ sample is $\\sin^2\\theta^{\\rm lept}_{\\rm eff}(M_Z) = 0.23146 \\pm 0.00047$. The CDF collaboration also extracts the on-shell electroweak mixing angle $ \\sin^2 \\theta_W = 0.22401 \\pm 0.00044$ which corresponds to an indirect measurement of the W boson mass $M_W ({\\rm indirect}) = 80.327 \\pm 0.023 \\;{\\rm GeV}$.
