First Take....

Well i welcome myself to the world of bloggers and it sure is an adroit business!!!!
I must say i hve been inspired by blogs of my frens(shubu's www.lifeispeaceful.blogspot.com and Prateeks' www.planetricks.com... well extra publicity for u guys.. may be i deserve something in return from u .....!!!!!)....

This being my first post, i really did not waste much time in deciding abt whom or wht to write....Sports ofcourse!!! .. and wht in sports???[:o] who else but Roger Federer.....

After watching the great man fail yet again on the clay of Roland Garros, the same old question of his position among the Champions of this game, arose once again.It would be naive of me to rate him above Sampras , Laver or for that mater of fact even Borg( whose 5 consecutive Wimbledon Titles record, Federer would be trying to match...), for greatness is not a quantitative thing....

Federer is no Sampras, the Hollow Man of Tennis world, nor is he a Mcnroe,there just cant be another Mcnroe....(those tantrums on court and Federer doing them,, u gotto be kidding me!!!), but he sure is the greatest artist to have graced this game. The King of Wimbledon title would be even more tougher to attain than winning the King of Clay title, and tht even Nadal knows...

When the ball strts rolling on June 26, Noon(B.S.T) on the courts of Wimbledon, all eyes will be
again on him. How would he react to his French Open loss?... Is he well prepared....? Or will Nadal stop him and become first man since Borg to hold both the clay and grass court grandslam titles......
We dont hve to wait for eternity to find those answers... luckily its just a 2 week long tournament(its not cricket guys.. u need not wait 2 months.. !!!!).......

the way Federer has conquered the tennis world is really Fabulous....
Quite some time back his ride to throne...( king of tennis
world) was seem to be smooth but the rise of Nadal has added taste to this journey...
there should be no doubt that Federer has made a mark in history But how much dark it will be will depend on how he Tackle NADAL....( quite similar to Michael Schumaker and Alonso )..

I will go on to stick my neck out & say that Federer has (based on what I know)already acheived enough to place him on atleast an equal pedestal to that of the likes of Sampras, Borg & Laver...& I dare say that he is gonna become the greatest legend of them all...

Its only the charisma of an "old" enigma that endears us to the "past legends & makes us forgot the greatness that we are lucky to see in our own lifetime...

My histrionics aside...Welcome to the world of bloggers..!!! :-)
