and here comes the emperor in style

Finally the day for all the fans of the great Fed­erer. He has beaten his sup­posed arch rival at the moment — Nadal. The news has lit­er­ally made my day!

Roger Fed­erer beat neme­sis Rafael Nadal 2–6 6–2 6–0 to win his fourth Ham­burg Mas­ters title and end the Spaniard’s record run of 81 straight wins on clay.


The French Open has become all the more inter­est­ing now and I wish so damn much that Fed con­tin­ues his newly gained form. The crit­ics who had started jab­ber­ing after he was strug­gling on clay and Nadal beat him on the bat­tle of sur­faces, I think this will shut them up till the upcom­ing grandslam.

Just a few days back, the leg­endary Sam­pras (watch his amaz­ing 360 degree shot video here) backed him up: “He is the best player in the world. He is going to go on and break all my records,” Sam­pras told reporters. “He can win 16 grand slams.” Thats a big thing to come from the vet­eran who speaks sel­domly in press. The inter­est­ing thing is Fed is play­ing with­out a coach. I am at loss for any words, I am just wait­ing for the French Open finale and to see a his­tory being written.

There are few per­fec­tion­ists, there are fewer heroes and there’s a still higher rare cat­e­gory of cham­pi­ons like Federer.
