The God of Tennis

I am a diehard fan of Roger Federer, the Swiss Tennis Maestro. Watching him play in the last three tournaments (he won all three!) has been nothing short of a spiritual experience for me. What is so good about watching him is not that he is the greatest tennis player ever (still arguable for many people), but just that his game is definitely the most beautiful ever (no arguments here). The way he moves, or rather... glides, the smooth serve motion, the smoother forehand action, and the world's prettiest backhand...WOW!

It is this beauty of his game that makes watching him so much fun even in totally one-sided matches. I have been a big fan of some other players in the past, and have developed a liking for many current players as well, but nobody has ever evoked the kind of feeling of pure joy in me as Federer does. Even at the age of 31, his smoothness and cat-like reflexes haven't lost their magic. I don't think any other athlete in any other sport can match the adulation that Mr. Fed evokes among his fans.

If you are not a tennis fan yet and want to develop some interest in the sport, just watch couple of Roger Federer matches. I promise you will be hooked!
