here walks the greatest

I have always felt why at the the end of 20th century and forward we are so deprived of great leaders , visionaries like yester years in history. The question bothers me as science and technology are achieving panaromic heights of success , the greateness in humans are fading away.
The most strange thing among this is balance is still there, see in sports. I cant say people like Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Michael Schumacher or bradman or phelps will walk again on this ground. But sure they are the greatest and they are still showing us what is magic in true sense. We do not need religious preachers to show us miracles, here comes the people who can do the same thing in every step in their life. They never give up, they do whats other awe.

there is no price for awesomeness :-). Yes, what federer is doing cant be compared to anything. I have always praised this guy, the calmness on his face and artistry of his play always humbles me and literally leaves me thinking how can somebody do this. Still when he failed to win a single tournamnet i could not explain it to myself , what happened although he was still appearing in all the major finals. But the thing about sports is there is no prize for coming second best. Ask Nadal that, he would answer what do i mean.

Before US open i was sure that he is going to final, but winning the slam there never were any guarrantee specially the way Nadal is playing compared to him this year. But here goes the thing, this guy is playing like a machine for last 4-5 years winnning games after games without rest, so he has to get tired after some time. Even our so called Gods get tired fxing this world up and give up quiet frequently. But after winning 2 slams this year , the semifinal match between Nadal and Murray was an eye opener. Here is a player who played so well through out the year suddenly feeling fatigued. He was not moving at all and Murray was all over him. The thing about federer though he is rarely tires. That slim frame of his is a 5000 MW power house compared to muscular Nadal. He keeps going on and on.

14 grand slams are childs play for him now,how far he goes and how long he goes thats important. The rivalry of Nadal and Federer with Djokovic and Murray in the horizon , 2009 will be a year to watch out for tennis fans.

hail federer the king.
