Vamos Federer

He probably waited for the 14th slam much more than anything else he won. It's our fault perhaps to estimate a time because he's been winning them like they are being held in his backyard. A true champion; his chest was perhaps incomplete without this one but there'll still be bricks thrown at this win I guess. He didn't win against the player who's competed best against him in this era. But for no mistake of his though - let's play it down folks.

I always got a feeling that he never quite played to potential against Rafa. Probably credit to the young man. I though was waiting for the day when this French expectation was lighter in Federer's mind. I am itching to see a hungrier Nadal playing against a more relaxed Federer. Wimbledon's round the corner and I can't resist the thought enough.

The two champions of the present era have given us enough thrills when they played one another. A grand slam final doesn't seem to be one without them playing in it. Brute force, adrenalin, the incredible energy and stamina that Nadal brings witted against silken grace, an almost nonchalant laziness, pure genius. Waiting for more gentlemen; bring the goose-bumps on!
