Andre and 'Fedex' Federer

What a match ? Although I am happy that Federer has won the US Open this year by beating Agassi in a four set match at Flushing Meadows, what to say of the genial father of two who has kept coming back to Open era tennis for the last 20 years ? His bald head, a long cry from the days of Wimbledon in the 90s during which he had flamboyant blond hair, making girls go weak in their knees and a never say die attitude towards tennis.

I was among the lot of disappointed Steffi crazy citizens of the world when he married her, suprisingly, the marriage has been strong so far. Perfect example of strength of woman behind the man. Andre's tennis has improved after he married Steffi and a superhuman can play the level of competetive tennis at his young age of 35. Still, characteristicaly, Andre has made no mention of his retirement.

It is only fair to say Andre lost to a younger and fitter world number one in Roger Federer. Hats off to you, Andre...
