For some years, i have been really interested with tennis and i must say that i am a fan of the game and some players. Watching tennis games on tv has been a hobby of mine, even if my brother insists that it's totally boring. I have learned the game just by mere visuals and i have known a bit of everything too. What's great with this sport is that every match is unique because of the style of every player. Speaking of tennis players, there's this one who made me appreciate the craft of playing the game, one person who exemplifies the versatility of a great tennis player, one athlete who never fails to impress me when he's on the court, and that is, ROGER FEDERER, yes, the swiss player who has been on the top of the rankings for like a lifetime.hehe He has ruled the game with authority and for me he is the best player ever. Although he haven't won the french open yet, his success as a tennis player for this era is pretty difficult to match nor even get close to. With all the titles under his belt, he need not to prove his worth.
This year though, the world no. 1 is on a blur. he had consecutive loses and surprisingly, he only won one title so far,and that is the estoril open. He's missing something in his game, i don't know if its the drive to win or the confidence that he'll be able to win. I wonder why this is happening? For clay courts, i really understand that roger's having a difficult time especially if he's battling it out with nadal, but for hard courts, how could he lose?
However, the occurrence of the consecutive loses has not ousted him from the top spot. The last time nadal and federer faced was on the court of monte carlo i think, and as expected Nadal won. But i really admire Nadal for his humility and admiration for federer, he somewhat said that roger is still the no.1 in the world and even if he had a number of loses, the fact that he is still no. 1, makes him STILL the greatest player. Which i think is ultimately true, maybe roger started the tennis year quite unprepared but i'm sure he'll make up for it. I believe he'll win Roland Garros this year.. I wish him all the best.
