The last days of glory

I have been appealed to by my blog-expert friends to contribute my own experiences for all to see.

There is no topic I have been asked to specifically post on, but as this is my first, I shall abide by everyone’s expectations and report on some names I have heard pass through many mouths during the last few days.

Roger Federer. The king of tennis.

You are all probably aware of the competition between the world's greatest(cue kanye west) and the supposed ‘new young champ,’ or in Lotti's eyes, 'world's number one wedgie picker,' Rafael Nadal. So they created an ‘even’ playing field for these two top tennis players.


But Nadal won.


Presenting this from a completely unbiased third party view, I cannot believe the era of Federer is over. It is truly depressing that in only four days.. FOUR DAYS- Roger will be dropped to world number two.

But no worries Roger, in my eyes you will always be the tennis great of our time.

YO HERCULES!
sup!

btw i watched some of that game. unfair advantage for nadal: he's alright at grass and federer kind of sucks (relatively speaking) at clay.

Here here. I'm suffering from Federer-attachment anxieties. And those posters for German aren't helping.

That's so not even! Nadal's got a really kooky talent for being decent at clay. So I guess it pays to be odd. The physics of it would be screwed too. Where in the world would someone find a half-half court and be able to practise on it. Imagine how weird it'd be to see the ball travelling at alternating velocities and heights... it'd be trippy!
