Wow. What a day for Roger Federer. And for anyone who was lucky enough to watch his match against Robin Soderling (who delivers a fine yoke at the end of the day)
Here's what I love about Fed:
He cries. For his victories and his losses. He loves his sport, and his game.
He gives props to his family.
He says these delightfully dorky things that actually end up sticking in my head like Zen koans: I once heard an interview where he described being a little flustered when asked his philosophy of life in front of a group of children. He answered: It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
Wow.
Remember that the next time you have an unpleasant moment on hold with the person at the cable company.
Well I should've made a top-ten style list for all the things that inspire me about Roger Federer's game. But for the moment, let me just conclude with this:
After the match, the interviews, (not to mention the on-court assault by a deranged fan) he makes time to pose for photos with the technical grounds crew at Roland Garros.
Cheers, Roger. You're a class act.
