The Greatest Ever

It has been sometime since I made time out to come out & post some interesting stuff. I just couldn't figure out a topic to write on! But finally (though late) I feel like writing about this man, highly inspiring, cool headed & highly determined etc etc. I really can't find enough superlatives to describe him! French Open, the one grand slam which till now seemed this man was "banned" from winning ever, with the reigning clay king Rafa. 2009 turned the tables when the "king" fell to a rookie (kind of) in the initial rounds, somewhat making way for the Master to realise his dream win. But the run was never easy for Fed-ex as he almost "passed through the flames & rose from the ashes" to claim his 14th Grand Slam title, on par with Sampras's world record. People (mostly critics, incl. Rafa fans) started "claiming" the win was purely a "white wash" after Rafa's exit! Well, I'd say one thing to all 'em, "Nice try, covering up another mans' loss". The best of the compliments was this "In an era of specialists, you're either a clay court specialist or you're a grass court specialist or you're a hard court specialist... Or you're a Roger Federer" by Jimmy Connors. I just couldn't stop admiring this a whole day! Next up Wimbledon & many more to come, & I can only imagine how great it would be to see him win many more titles & set a new benchmark in the history of tennis. Hats off this living legend.
