He perfectly describes my fascination with Federer - the dancing around and fluid execution.<br /><br />*<br />It's pretty interesting to know that the article was written by David Foster Wallace, a rising literary star who killed himself last year.<br /><br />I knew that DFW was a pretty good tennis player, but I did not know that he wrote on tennis. Among the few writers who are both literary and tennis-fixated - Martin Amis is another. Any others?hirakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092831514643850562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137957.post-44370485261141804082009-06-08T13:39:34.463-04:002009-06-08T13:39:34.463-04:00May be you already read this but I subscribe to th...May be you already read this but I subscribe to this view (circa 2006):<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/20/sports/playmagazine/20federer.html?_r=1&pagewanted=allPaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10410605088925353641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137957.post-80532825572007341242009-06-08T13:38:31.552-04:002009-06-08T13:38:31.552-04:00Very Nice!Very Nice!Paddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10410605088925353641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137957.post-75982438291200584612009-06-08T10:14:56.616-04:002009-06-08T10:14:56.616-04:00Yeah, I guess from the perspective of tennis it wa...Yeah, I guess from the perspective of tennis it was a pretty lame final. Somehow I am in that camp of Federere sentimentalists who feel that the French Open final was not a one act play, it was the sweet fairytale ending to a very long epic.<br /><br />Of course, it this was drama than the obvious script would be to have Fed and Rafa battle it out, and have Fed win in a five-setter to obliterate last year's Wimbledon.<br /><br />But, i think we have a lot more tennis from these two to come in the next 2-3 years and I am sure we are set for at least a couple more exciting final Slam matches between the two.hirakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092831514643850562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137957.post-49984209816278542432009-06-07T15:52:48.736-04:002009-06-07T15:52:48.736-04:00I was very disappointed with the final.
