Federer all the way...

Its Wimbledon quarterfinals, my idol Sampras was in a mood to break his young opponent. It was a yearly ritual for him to hold the "mecca of tennis" trophy. This time, he wanted to equal Bjorn's record. A young, ponytail man, with beaded necklace was his opponent. He matched Sampras's forehand with grace, his service with flamboyance and almost all his shots just "dropped" inside the court!

Fast Fwd twoo years, this same guy simply erases the competition and holds the same trophy, the most prestigious trophy in Tennis. Since them, There have hardly been any who really challenged. He managed to "retire" agassi without another grandslam, break the "toughness" of hewitt, made "short" of Safin and ripoff the "confidence" of Roddick.

Three years back, french open semifinals, it was a very young nadal vs the god himself. Nadal proved that he was able to make the god seem "mortal" by defeating him convincingly without any trouble. Its three years, nothing has changed, nadal keeps winning the red grandslam and the god, FEDERER keeps winning all the other three.

Wimbledon....2007, the only thing i will remember this is not for the rain, not for serena's so called "tough" attitude, not for venus's 4 slam or not for the resurgence of the new blood, but for Federer, who just made wimbledon more great!! I don't want to talk about it, just cherish his win, beating his current nemesis.

thanks FEDERER, You are the best!!!
