Federer - The Metronome

As I am speaking about Micheal Schumacher here, I would also want to talk about Roger Federer here. This man has been reigning Number 1 in Tennis for nearly 3 years now. It is almost taken for granted that he would win any match he plays. Roger Federer according to me is just a machine. He has metronomical precision in his game. At the same time he has a very elegant style. He is a perfect match of both power and stylish tennis.

In all the matches of his I have seen, he never panics and is always cool. That is the amazing quality of this guy. He manages to serve and volley with ease even when he is a set or two down. But at the end of the day we see him win the game. This keeps him apart from the rest.

He hardly makes any noises on the court, neither is he very animated on the court both for the points he wins or he loses.

This makes him similar to Micheal in tennis, where he just overwhelms the opponent. It takes a lot to be like him. I am sure he will beat almost all the records in history of tennis before he retires.

But he too has a nemesis in Rafael Nadal. The Spanish lad is the only player to have a better win-loss ration against Federer. Rafael is an ace Clay court player and if Federer has to become the undisputed king then he needs to get over Nadal.

Kudos to Roger !!!
