Congratulations Roger!

So, it might be that instead of writing papers, doing research, and coming up with a sponsorship package for a certain event..

And, despite feeling under the weather, having downed about 2000+mg of Vitamin C + multi-vitamins + antibiotics + advil + antacids...

I, exercised my low EQ and decided to watch the World Tour Finals over the internet... (Is it just me or is it really hard to find a very good live stream these days. I only found one decent one. It was in French. And, it kept resetting!)

But at least, I am feeling quite happy...

Roger wins his 6th year end title! Win on his 100th finals! Ends the year within the top 3 for the 9th year! 16th Grand Slams! 70 titles! 807 wins!

Roger's 3 consecutive wins: Basel, Paris Masters, WTF London!

Hopefully, Roger's win will translate into a feeling of inspiration tomorrow as I have piles and piles of things that I have to do!

Naysayers:

Quotes I've read and heard this week on Roger:

Nadal: "Don't ever say Federer is not a figher!" as tweeted by @FedererLive - who can disagree?

Mahesh Bhupati: "Anyone who doesn't think Federer is the greatest player of all time needs serious help. Numbers don't lie... Masterclass once again!!!" via twitter

Hola Gorani: "Anyone who has met Federer can't help but be a fan, he's such a nice guy" (might not be an exact quotation - as seen/heard by me on CNN this week)

Seriously, Federer is made of something from out of this world. Everyone has been saying that his time is up and that it would be over soon. You would think that after years of keeping his game at that high level, something would have to give... but it does not, at least not yet.

Compare him to these younger guys, also playing at high levels. Djokovic, Nadal, and Murray, all of them are injured, looking weary and so tired. Even Berdych doesn't seem to be playing at his usual level.

You just have to admit that Roger truly is extra ordinary. Might say, truly the greatest of all time.
