concession

in two weeks rafael nadal takes the number one ranking from roger federer; this title, this thing, roger has held for two hundred weeks. i still care, still read tennis news and "commentaries", my silence on the topic is still a product of the nadal wimbledon victory. oh well, this i guess is moving on.

nadal is a worthy heir, he's been number two for a very long time too, and the oncourt demeanor we soon learned isn't arrogance. he's just that competitive. he wants to win everything and i that's good. this conversion of mine from total nadal hater (ahaha, jologs) to a bit of a fan happened with the ascent of novak djokovic. the serb's a promising player alright. he must earn the number one ranking though, if he really wants it. rafael nadal didn't give up. now it's his.

i still am your biggest fan, roger federer; i will cheer for you in the olympics and the us open.
