Roger!

That's Roger Federer for you. His game is oh-so mesmerizing. Just saw his Wimbledon match yesterday. Memories of last year's Semi-Final and Final came flooding back. Just how he had demolished big servers Andy Roddick and Mark Philippoussis (they call him SCUD for his missile serves ), it can only be seen to be believed.

He has the grace of Stefan Edberg, which no body could fill since he departed Tennis scene. But unlike Edberg , he also has a controlled aggression . He is not wooden-face like Bjorn Borg . His service return and baseline game is Aggasique; on the net he has the same reach and reflexes as that of Pete Sampras. Despite all these qualities, he is very down-to-earth . He always looks in control of himself and his game. That's what you call a real champion. Hail the champion Roger!
