faith

last night.it was the only olympics tennis match i watched, and federer lost. to james blake, who looks like a great person but is not an exceptional player. amazing forehand but cannot win big matches. first time james beat roger in nine (i think) attempts. three olympics! not a single medal in singles.

ironic - but this is good news! - that he wins his first (maybe only) medal in doubles. the federer-wawrinka team beat the bryans earlier today, giving roger his first (at least) silver medal. fun.

tonight. so in his third olympics he finally wins a gold medal. roger federer and stanislas wawrinka beat the bryans (those brothers!) yesterday and just a few minutes ago beat the swedish team to become doubles champions. roger lost the bronze medal in sydney and was beaten by tomáš berdych in athens. berdych is marat safin without a major.

doubles! isn't that amazing? he loses the world number one ranking on monday, but he shows them (them=not us who still believe) he's still king. one thing i never really understood about these stupid critics: they saw something/someone almost religious and dismissed everything when he started losing matches. die, you, you idiots. think happy thoughts. federer's an excellent doubles player. he and marat were partners before (i carefully chose those words, stupid fantasies). ready for the slams, roger?
