Roger Federer Moments V.001: The No Look Flick Lob

Hola! No, 'Bonjour' rather. I don't like Hola, it is Spanish. So, how are my dear B/R creatures?

My deepest greetings go only to fellow 'Tards' of You know Who. To the others, well it is just a custom, you know. Sorry, no offense.

Well, what is making news these days?

Ah, the US Open is underway isn't it? Nah, the NEO is. Never Ending Open that is (sshhh...this is stolen from Ms. XYZ—But no Copyright, this is my article).

Well, we all know it is raining buckets in New York City right now and as a result, Rafa's grunts wont be heard in town for at least another few hours. And yeah, Gonzo's too.

Sorry for the lack of consideration ladies, but you gals 'screech' don't you?

And so here we are. Bashing the USTA for not catching the falling raindrops with their big-size dustbins and thus dishing out injustice to the victim players (except a certain lucky guy).

Cheers.

The 'sorry-no-tennis' hours are a real yawn for me though. My man is through to the semis, what do I care? (Grins)

So here I was, for a while grinning at the wailing(s) by angry tennis fans about how much "USTA Sucks". But as it so happens, I eventually got bored with the fun.

With a morose face (imagine one please—a beautiful face mind you!), I start wondering how to kill time.

And, then the bulb on top of my head (you know which one!)—uff, it always takes so long to wake from the usually long slumbers—shines!

There simply is no better occupation than witness and bask in the genius of it—a dose of one of those "Roger Federer Moments."

I was so disappointed when Mr Usama Shah (he is U.S. now) shelved his original series of "Federer Moments".

I ask him, why so? Apparently, he is no longer "that into Federer anymore."

(No comments. Just a glare. So unfaithful)

Yet, to be fair to him, he was good enough to enquire whether I would be interested in continuing the series.

And well, you know me.

So here, this is me restarting it. To give all those earnest Tennis (not necessarily Federer) fans another opportunity to pop their eyes at the man whose game, they say  is "Absurdly Close to Perfection."

Here is one where TMF pulls off one of those unimaginable shots with...

Just a Flick of the Wrist

As David Foster Wallace in his much acclaimed piece "Roger Federer as Religious Experience" says: "none of it really explains anything or evokes the experience of watching this man play. Of witnessing, firsthand, the beauty and genius of his game. You more have to come at the aesthetic stuff obliquely, to talk around it, or—as Aquinas did with his own ineffable subject—to try to define it in terms of what it is not."

Post Script:

1: Exactly one year ago, Wallace, who gave us what is arguably the greatest piece of sports journalism passed away. I take this opportunity to mention mmy heartfelt prayers for his soul.

2: Usama had previously done six versions before abandoning the series. Those six 'Moments' will not be lost, but added later on to the new one.
