Is Roger's Dominance making Tennis boring? NO. Not at All.

In the life of every game there comes a time when someone or the other dominates the game.
and in the life of every Great Player there comes a time when he/she dominates the scenareo. (Golf and Tiger Woods, F1 and Schumacher, Cycling and Armstrong, Cricket and Australia, so on..)
and then Even a small loss by such kings of their time counts as much as a big victory.

This is Roger's turn. We should enjoy it and not get bored, well, It's not at all boring.

And by the way, Ther is nothing wrong if Roger dominates the game."Roger dominates" doesn't mean other players are not good enough.
It's just the class of this man that makes us forget about most of the others, including even Players of Caliber like Nadal or Roddic or Safin.


Tennis was always exciting and Roger has in fact made it more exciting.
He emerges as a great challange to every other player and they try to put their best efforts in.
So Roger has to win every match, every set, every game, every point on his own.

If not with the opponents, he is competing with himself, doing things he always dreamt of but couldn't do till now.

Although he has achieved so much, so much is to be achieved. He will have to continue fighting till there are players left on the face of the Earth... And I guess this struggle isn't less exciting!

Home win for Roger


A win in the Final, The Records, The Trophy, The Smile, The Emotions …

Roger Federer has done it again. Yet this one was a special one, a really really special one as it took seven attempts.
This time he has won at Basel a place where he once worked as a Ball-boy, a place where he dreamt to play one day, a place where he was born and brought up.

He won the Swiss Indoors, his fourth title in a row and eleventh of the year, beating the Chilean Fernando Gonzalez 6-36-2 7-6(3).

This is now becoming very customary that with every win he is setting new records.

With a win in Basel, Roger quenched his 44th ATP Title. And improved his winning record to 87-5
He has also become the first player in Open era to win 10 titles for three consecutive years.
Today, he celebrated his 100th day as World No.1
He also completed his 143rd week as World No. 1. (Only Ivan Lendle (157) and Jimmy Conners (160) are ahead of him)

A 2nd innings

He has retired from the driver’s seat but hasn’t left The Team. So in the near future, we will be able to find him on the Track again in those fiery red colours.

Michael Schumacher is all set to be a ‘super assistant’ to Jean Todt, the new Chief Executive of Team Ferrari.

However he is also searching ‘a new pace of life’ away from F1, as he described it at Ferrari World Finals- the traditional season closer of the racing team at Monza.
