The scoreboard read 6-4 6-4 in favor of Nadal and many of the Federer fans have lost hope. But when The King won 4th set tie-break 10-8, I thought I would witness the greatest comeback in tennis history. But the rain and darkness played a spoilsport and Nadal won the final set 9-7. Following gives my views about the epic final.
My dear Wimbledon organizers, you are doing a great job indeed. Make the courts slower and slower and the balls heavier and heavier by the year. Kill the art of serve and volley. Who the fuck cares anyway? After all even base liners should be given equal or rather more priority as it is difficult for them to adjust to grass just 2 weeks after French Open.
Eliminate 90 min Serve-Volley classics and welcome 3 hr snoozefests. The longer the matches are aired, the more money you receive. All this can be utilized to improve home-grown British talent. So, kudos for the greatest brains. I wish Agassi was playing now and Federer in Sampras era. That way I could have watched two of the greatest players playing their best on grass. But alas, life is unfair. I dont deserve that. Rabbits have more chances of winning Wimbledon these days.
Give tennis raquets to Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, Asafa Powell and they will give Nadal a run for his money.
Stick the traditions up your arse. FFS, the top two players in men's tennis are playing in the final of one of the biggest sporting events with history weighing heavily on both sides and asking them to play in semi-darkness is ridiculous. I thought the organizers of the Caribbean Cricket World Cup 2008 are worse. Sorry fellas, you take the cake.
How many titles you may ever win, I'd still say Fuck you Nadal. The beastly bulls should be confined to the red dust of Roland Garros. Wimbledon is a place for class players like Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, Patrick Rafter, Goran Ivanisevic and Roger Federer (the greatest of them all) and the fiery baseliners who slug it out for each point are not welcome here. I admire your humility and like you as a person off-the-court but do not expect respect from me as a Wimbledon Champion.
*Rant Over*
My dear Federer, do not lose heart. You just don't deserve this. You should have played in one of the eras of Borg, Becker or Sampras. You will still be the Greatest tennis player of all time for the tennis connoisseurs. You are the guy with the best 'WOW' quotient. Amazing and exquisite shots flowing smooth like silk.
The scoreboard shows that HRH Federer lost by the end of the day, but what it doesn't show is the number of hearts that cried for him. And you can be sure that mine of one of those.
