The first one

I am incoherent (should probably turn off the TV). The anticipation was there for the last three years. The excitement, had now become palpable. It had become almost too hard to concentrate on work. I don't remember the last time I got this excited. May be it was the hype. May be it was the raves being showered already by the critics. But mostly, it was curiosity, I suppose.

True, I rooted for Federer . But the true champion won. And so he shall remain. One final point. This not a decline of Federer . This is the same level at which he has played for years. Its just only now he is up against
