Prince Federer

Amidst the cacophony of speeding jets at Flushing Meadows, the 'smiling assasin' carried out the task as clinically as ever. And when somebody does it so easily against a player like Leytton Hewitt who's known for his great tenacity, we are left nothing less than mesmerized. Roger Federer has arrived.

One of my very good friends said after Federer's American open victory(He's the first after Mats Wilander to win 3 slams in one year and again the first to win his first four slam finals), 'Is he the best of all eras?'...The answer tantalizingly seems to be positive right now, but it would really be too early to stamp it. We'd get the answer in the coming 2-3 seasons.
But definitely he has got that magical game. Watch him and you'd say 'oh, its so easy!'.

And then there's old-bald Andre...He's showing no signs of cooling his guns. I feel fortunate (many will agree to this) for gettting to watch to so many greats in action same time. 'Boom-Boom' Becker, gutsy Edberg, big-serving Ivanisevic, Courier, Rafter, 'Gugga' Kuerten and at the top of all, the magical rivalry between 'Pistol' Pete and Agassi. After a slump of 2-3 years, Federer-Roddick-Hewitt-Ferrero are right there to keep you spellbound.
But at the end of the day, its Prince Federer who's crooning 'my teeth and my ambitions are bare, be prepared!'

i remain.
