Ruthless Fed-Ex

I have read and heard lot about Roger Federer, the King of Tennis. I like to watch him on rampage against the opponents. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to see any of his matches during the recently concluded Australian Open till Sunday, the last day of championship.

The final was scheduled to play on Sunday and luckily time permits me to watch this all important match. The fight was between Federer (11 Grand Slam Final) and Gonzalez (1 Grand Slam Final) for the championship. Both were at their peak of form before the final. Their semi-finals were one-sided.

Everyone expected a tough match. Yes, the fight for the first set was tough. Gonzalez broke the King's serve in the 9th Game and were at two set points while serving for the Set. Federer bunched back strongly to take the set to tie-breaker and then eventually won the set.

From then on, not looking back for Federer. He won the championship with straight sets. The credit should also go to Gonzalez for his courage and fighting spirit. He never showed any fear even though he has been tasted the defeat against Federer nine times before. At the end of the day it was a Perfect-10 for Federer, 10th Grand Slam title, 10th straight win over Gonzalez.

The power of Federer's forehand, his back-hand technique and accurate drop volley's are definitely a treat to watch. The only missing diamond on the King's crown is the French Open Championship. Hope he will definitely break the Jinx this year.
