tekst je pisao Ludvig, po drugi put o Federeru...
sve je igra. mislim.
kažu da je danas ispisana nedostajuća stranica jedne igre.
a moj osećaj kaže da je on tu igru doveo do savršenstva. bukvalno.
stoga se samo čekalo da tu zaturenu stranicu pronađu da bi priča o igri bila kompletna.
lakoća.
elegancija.
čitav roman u načinu na koji gradi poen.
zrno poezije u svakom udarcu.
bekend. jednoručni, da.
ne postoji udarac iz udžbenika teniske teorije, ili iz bilo čije mašte, koji nije u stanju da izvede.
i tako.
priča je završena. možda će joj na wimbledonu staviti i tačku. bilo bi lepo. lepo, ne i neophodno. neke priče ne završavaju tačkom.
jednostavno ne završavaju
14 gren slem titula. na svim podlogama.
60 ukupno.
bez predatog meča.
sampras je bio najbolji.
federer je jedini.
živeli smo u vreme kada je on igrao tenis.
i sta Andre Agasi kaze o njemu:
"It could be his destiny. Roger deserves it more than I did. To win on all four surfaces in your career is one of the greatest achievements in sport," said Agassi.
"It's something that I am so proud of because every surface, and all the different conditions, demands so much of you mentally and physically and reward you so much.
"I'll be pulling for Roger on Sunday. He is extraordinarily talented, and the grace and the way he plays is very special to see.
"If it wasn't for a freak of nature from Majorca, he could have won this many times."
Federer tackles Swedish outsider Robin Soderling, the man who sent Nadal crashing in the fourth round, in Sunday's final in what will be his fourth successive Roland Garros title match.
Nadal has defeated him in the last three, but a win over Soderling will take him level with Pete Sampras as a 14-time major winner.
It will also take him alongside Agassi, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver, Don Budge and Fred Perry as the sixth man to complete a career Grand Slam.
"That it's been 10 years since I did it shows how hard it is to do," added Agassi, who was at Roland Garros with wife Steffi Graf to promote their charity work.
"When I won the Grand Slam, it changed my career and my life. It was the most profound moment, having to overcome all the self-doubt and all the obstacles about what it takes to win here.
"We could see history on Sunday and it will be a privilege for the game to see it. It could be Roger's destiny. It's very exciting."
