I have been one of Federer's biggest fans in the world.I still am.I could not digest the fact that Nadal would thump him time and again and Nadal fans here would celebrate that.So I used to post all kinds of stories beginning with doping allegations against Nadal,then a theory that Wimbledon changed its surface to help Nadal win there,etc.In fact the surface change statement made things worse for me as Rafa fans ridiculed me openly and made me laughing stock forcing me to leave the forum for a long time.Now I have realised that whatever I post it makes no difference to a great champion like Nadal.Whatever I say,he has nothing to prove to anybody,not in the least to me who is a nobody compared to legends like Nadal and Federer.Nadal has proved he is a total and true champion and great human being.I may post all kinds of drivel but the champ will just go on and win.I apologise to all the Rafa fans for insulting them and also for the insane stuff I posted.I also urge my co Federer fan and poster Vasantiben to please stop abusing people here thereby lowering the dignity fo Federer fans.Let us all enjoy the game.Vamos Rafa.

well said Mr.Mithani. like a true sports / tennis enthusiast.realisation has dawned & it's a gutsy piece that you've written here. for the record, i too admire Fedex for his skills & achivements which ensure him a place in the list of all time greats the while at the same time i adore Rafa for his never say die displays on courts , amazing retrieval skills & staying power which all his opponents dread without exception. a formidable foe indeed on the other side of the net. we of this generation are lucky to have seen both Federer & Rafa in action.
