Letter to Federer!

Dear Fedex,

It was bit of a shocker that you gave us on Tueday Morning. I for once was so assured of your victory that I didn’t even bother to stay awake and guide you to your 6^th US Open crown. But, like all good things must come to an end some day so did your fantastic run at the US Open. You have already achieved way more in your career spanning just 12 years than anybody in the past could nor will anybody in future come close to achieving.

The past has seen players like Sampras, Ivan Lendl, Andre Agassi, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and more but not one of these had the finesse and touch to make viewers think tennis is not a sport, not a science but an art so exact, so precise, so unearthly. The impossible shot-making, the ease, the high probability of coming up with winning balls a lesser player would not have even reached, the total devastation of top players all make you what you are today. You are God’s gift to our generation for we‘ve got a chance to see you live in action.

I know it feels bad to lose a match after having won 41 consecutive matches at the Flushing Meadows but that doesn’t take away from you anything you have achieved. You are still a God. Even God is allowed a few misses here and there.

Cheers!
