Wimbledon Finals!!! History in the making - we get to see a Brit winning it for the first time in our lifetime or we see Federer equalling the record of winning it 7 times.
The wife and i were pretty excited - finally, style, poise and grace will win the championship instead of sheer brute strength and pace!
But in the first set, it sure did not seem that way as Federer disappointed us like how he always have been doing recently. Piling unforced error upon unforced error - to the sheer delight of the British crowd!
But he eventually found his rhythm - and it was a joy to see him like poetry in motion!
Eventually, he won it quite easily - but it no less sweeter than the first 6 times, i'm sure!
It was really great to see him win again - and altho he is not as unbelievable as he used to be (see here), there were flashes of his brilliant old self and that was enuf to see him thru. A lot of people said he played really well - i beg to differ as i still remember the time when he was almost invincible on Court. Those days are over, tho. Doubt i'll ever get to see him again.
In any event, i was so happy - and icing on the cake is that he retains back the number 1 spot for a record number of weeks!!!
Well done! Enjoy it, Roger. So will i for i wonder how many more times will i get this opportunity again.
