Know why I like Roger? He's just more Feder. He's Feder-er.

I remember watching Bjorn Borg, Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras over the years and thinking to myself that they were the best living tennis players at the time, and possibly the best of all time.

Then Roger Federer came along, and turned it all on its head. I watched him defeat Andy Roddick last night, and I have to say, while he didn't beat him badly, he performed his usual black magic; out smarting, out pacing, and out playing him right down to the end, with little or no energy wasted on emotion. I knew it would happen. Roddick is a great player. Strong, confident, a little cocky. But Federer is the master. Cool, graceful, quiet, and immensely talented. You get the impression that he is practically undefeatable.

The announcers mentioned something obvious and yet interesting; it's too bad both Roddick and Federer are here in the game at the same time, they're both incredible players in their own right, but Federer is really the only thing preventing Roddick from being on top. But then, I guess that holds true for any sport. Think of where Phil Mickelson would be if it weren't for you know who.
