I'm not exactly a big tennis fan, but I did enjoy watching the epic five set Wimbledon men's final on TV yesterday between Federer and his arch nemesis Nadal. Federer was made to eat dirt when he lost to the Spaniard at Roland Garros clay courts (French Open) last month and this time, he made sure it was Nadal's turn to eat grass.
The personalities of the two are at both ends: Federer exudes grace under pressure, he answers questions politely and deftly; Nadal, on the other hand, has the more interesting personality. He is like a raging bull, passionate and possessing a relentless drive to win.
Federer may have equalled Bjorn Borg's record of five consecutive Wimbledon titles, but one grand slam has eluded him so far, Roland Garros. Nadal, a claycourt specialist like most Spaniards, is determined than ever to deny him that. In addition, at 21 years old, Nadal is determined to make his mark on grass as well, which makes for more exciting tennis for years to come.
