Australianopen 2007, A Look Back

So the tennis season started just as it was expected and once again it seems a question of no amaze that who will rule the tennis courts this year.

When the Season started many people raised the ques. about lack of practice for federer because he skipped year opening Dubai open and all and when he lost to kooyong invitational cup finals to Andy roddick and in no time the chill ran down among critics that this year is going to be tough for the king and in a way roddick proclaimed that the gap between him and federer is closing rapidly.

But when the open began federer showed why he is called the fedex as he made a mockery of all the players descending to the champions podium and giving rise to a new terrorizing thought " He practices during the matches itself" scary enough to affright his rivals.

No matter what the towering difference exists between federer and spanish bull Nadal people are never tired of giving the arguments supporting the Nadal's triumph over federer but nadal has his own ways of letting the expectations down when it took over 3 hours for him to get over german starter paulschriber in third round when he lost a set even though he was one break ahead he then began showing his slump form wen it took a five setter slug fest for him to get over emerging Brit Andy Murray and the limping tourney of Nadal was terminated when he was tamed by the eventual runner up Fernando Gonzalez.

On the other side the federer continued to raise his level of play and soon it seemed apparent that it will take a mammoth task to prevent him from defending his hold over the Australian Open and as the championship reached the final stages he encountered three tough challenges namely Novak Djokovick( who kicked nadal out of us open 2006), Tommy Robredo and Andy Roddick) and no matter what these opponents threw at him he was always replied with better answer as he crushed Djokovic and robredo in his way to the semifinals and in semifinal when he was up against Andy roddick many people expected the kooyong finals replay but federer has still not unpacked his best stuff and when it cut loose roddick was looking a helpless kid trapped in federer storm gasping for desperate breath to see him self through as federer unleash his full fury of winners and passing shots federer made look the presumably close match to a lopsided affair, as vulnerably easy as sauntering he broke roddick at will and roddick just submitted as he was inflicted with one of the deepest scars in recent times and hence lamented over his own preposterous statement" the gap is closing..huh" on federer's immaculate performance .

When it all came down to the one final go for the championship federer unexpectedly faced the toughest challenge against fernando gonzalez,who nailed Blake,Nadal, Hewitt in his way to finals, when he was in danger of loosing a set for the first time during the whole tournament he showed that why the is called the runaway train in slam finals as he recovered from two set points to win the set and once the federer sets in its too tough to root his hold on match as he yet again completed straight sets victory in the final on the account of rival's dismay and yet again passing the emphatic edict " My Rule at the Top Continues"
Standing pretty with 10 grandslam titles under his belt all the greats of tennis are expecting that it will take at most 2 years to drown all the records of tennis at the hands of this steadfast player.

well you all may say that i gave it a rave but just think on it "don't you run out of adjectives while describing this genius????" and federer just strengthens metal of this statement with every passing event.

Luv ya Roger :) :) :)

well well well!!!!!!!
congrats to ajeet for his gud and clear writing skills at least!!!!
he did run out of adjectives for the simple fact he used all of them which wasnt needed actually if u know federer is a gr88888...
my take on this is simple:
wait 2 months....French open is round the corner..and Federer is sure to pulsate and get nervous when it approaches......
and lemme tell u Federer isnt immortal...neither he is invincible........even the gr8888 Sampras had his off days....
so lets reserve our judgements till the French open ends.....
and Ajeet u owe me a treat for forcing me to read ur blog which was full of hypocrisy abt Federer
[:P][:)]
