number 1 again...

stayed up until 2 am last night watching the wimbledon finals between roger federer and andy roddick... the game lasted for more than 4 hours with 5th set ending with 16-14 for federer... it was a tough game, andy was unbreakable the whole game the only time federer broke his serve cost him the title... federer now has 15 grand slam on his resume making him the greatest player ever and regained the number 1 spot at the ranking... peace!...

dethroning a king...

roger federer's 2nd round defeat to ivo karlovic is a big blow for his career right now, with nadal in his winning form and if gets lucky to win the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters in Cincinnati he will become the new worlds number deposing federer who holds the spot since feb 4, 2004, my question now is that, can federer handle that? my option for him, with multiple titles won, he simply retire now before the cincinnati finals and ask his name to be removed in the rankings just what henin did... being number 1 for quite a long time and dropping down to your close rival is just something so hard to take... peace!
