"Maybe I'll try later. God, it's killing me," and he started sobbing, I cried along, with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes, I was shouting at the Television Set, "Cry Roger... Cry.. let it go... you are champion... boys' don't cry.. men do...".
I have seen this man, conquer the tennis court with the same poise that sachin has conquered the cricket field ( Sorry for the comparison, "sachin" means a lot to me). I have seen tennis players, shouting, growling, throwing their rackets, arguing with the referes, but Roger Federer, walks with a poise, plays with poise, wins with poise. You watch him agaped, when he hits that, on-the-line backhand, you ask yourself, "how did he do that???", even a computer can't simulate that.
I apologise to all the nadal for writing my next line,
"Nadal can be defeated by any tom(Joachim Johansson) dick(Mikhail Youzhny) and harry(Tomas Berdych) of tennis, but federer can't be". After the defeat when somebody asked federer whether he could defeat Nadal in future, the champion answered,
"For sure," he said. "I didn't spend 4½ hours out there (not) believing it." Go Roger, I will cheer for you till your last match.
