roger federer still is the best tennis player ever. no, not forgetting the french open final (or finals: third year now). i realized dents are as important as achievements, and when one faces the best claycourt tennis player ever, a single victory becomes a great achievement (hamburg last year). that was a concession. what would you call rafael nadal if not that? kaye still hates him, she does not get the djokovic intrusion.
i take tennis seriously, it's almost a religion, or it is. we forget the humanity of tennis players, we think of them as gods. roger's almost godlike; clay ruins the perfection. yet remember: steffi graf had monica seles, martina navratilova had chris evert, and evert martina, pete sampras won all those majors and never reached any french open final, bjorn borg kept losing at us open, rod laver had "those" years.
forgiven, roger. after four days. be gorgeous again, what's that thing on your face? been there since monte carlo. maybe earlier. you need a dermatologist.
