Roger Federer. The name speaks for the man. Glory and beauty are the adjectives which first come to mind.
When he plays, there's no match for him. But then again, sometimes, when you see him play, you almost pity him.
One moment he seems to be on top of his game. The very next, he's struggling. There's logic and reason if he struggles against the distinguished players. But here again, Federer intrigues.
As if to prove even the best players can lose, he plays like a kid, losing to unseeded players. With a plethora of records held to his name, and hailed by many as the best player ever, Federer often is a man of contradictions. He always lives on the edge, keeping his supporters tense and worried all the while.
Some say it is his tactic to lose sets and seem weak, so that his opponent is over confident. Which may have been true a few years ago. But the Federer we see today is no champion. He is the remains. The mangled carcass.
But he has surprised one and all in the past by redeeming himself from a similar slump. For the love of tennis, lets hope he does it again.
