Why I like Roger Federer so much
By Ru-an Zietsmann
Ok I know this is another post about Roger as was my first one but I am not gay I promise :) Before Roger came along Andre Agassi used to be my favorite tennis player, but there was a problem with him. He was basically owned by Pete Sampras. Even though it was such a great rivalry it seemed that whenever it really mattered Pete could step it up one gear and beat Andre. This was well demonstrated in the Wimbledon finals of '99 when Pete smoked Andre just after he won the French Open. This also stopped him from winning four grand slams in a row of course, all be it not in the same calender year. So even though I loved Andre's personality it was very frustrating watching him getting beaten time after time in the US Open, three of those defeats came in the final and one was the classic match in the quarters where Pete won 6-7, 7-6, 7-6, 7-6. Whenever Pete was in trouble he would serve an ace, even if it was on his second serve. Pretty boring stuff actually. Enter Roger Federer. He would only meet Sampras once, but that would be enough to get his point across. Pete couldn't bully Roger with his big serve and volley game since Roger had a big serve and volley game himself, but not only that he had an unheard of quality in his game. In that rounf of 16 match at Wimbledon Federer showed that he wont be dominated by a big game, he had all the answers and more. This was enough for me to fall in love with Federer's game. After all that frustration of watching Pete dominate Andre I would finally have my revenge, and it couldn't be sweeter. Pete knew that day he was beaten by a better player. In the interview after the match he was in unknown territory, for the first time in his dominating career he was beaten by someone who had all the answers. How could this be??? I always had the edge on my opponents not the other way around!!! I was going to put the post match interview with Pete here but i couldn't find it, so i found something better. Just imagine Roger as the King and Pete as the black guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmOH5f1J1Uc
