Fed is the Champ..

I can't wait to post this. I just can't! It's been such a long time,being-almost-there and then losing every single time. Enough of heartbreaks! Here's the new champ of clay - ROGER FEDERER!

Absolutely delighted for this man. Last year's Wimbledon and this year's Australian Open have been worrisome and he triumphing on clay is a wonderful treat to any of his fans. Holding the breath for the Wimbledon to start. I wish it would the repeat of last year's clash with a different winner.

One of the most incredible of things that I got to witness today is not his lovely shots, but that tear rolling on his cheek, mid-way through the Swiss national anthem being played during the presentation ceremony. Have I ever seen a tear so elegantly rolling on somebody's cheek! The wildest of turmoils inside transforms its way to outside, so calmly! Even nature thunders, where does this lad hide all his emotions to remain as placid as he does?  That's why he is the most loved.

Thanks Heaven, to be sharing an era with such a soul - an embodiment of the celebration of human spirit!

Spoke like a true fan... and as emotional as he was when he claimed his date with the history books...

He toiled his way to win the French, and to become without any arguments, the greatest ever Champion.

I feel sad for Rafael Nadal's early exit, but to see an all capturing Champion, it's wonderful.
