What's Next for Rafael Nadal?
For me the biggest takeaway from the Australian Open wasn’t Roger Federer’s Sweet 16 and his mentally-challenged combatants Andy Murray, Nikolay Davydenko and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. For me it was the declining health of Rafael Nadal. From what I could tell Nadal came into the 2010 tenni...

I have been a tennis fan for the last 60 years. Roger Federer is easily the most graceful player of them all.
Congratulation to Roger for his magnificent performance at the Australian Open. I was delighted to see him win here; but my grand daughter was even more ecstatic than me. You have a family of fans here, Roger! Good luck and pray to God that more grand slams may come your way!

roger, i was a great tennis player for my school in port elizabeth south africa. It was really exciting to read that your mommy is south african. she must be an amazing mommy. I love the way Anica and you are thrilled with your twin daughters you have come out a winner again with those babies. Your mommy might have known my Auntie Marie Oosthuizen if she was in port elizabeth. She was a famous couteur designer and had a fabulous salon called "marguerites". You cannot retire yet you are still a baby 28. Practise hard and you will win the Australian Open in January 2010. I adore watching you play.

Roger Federer is not just a tennis player he is much more than that for me he is an icon an idol and a reson to be alive a big motivation and
Inspiration(he is the nearest exambld to perfection ) charming talented hamble responsible and the most important self-trust which he completely makes you feel it thousands miles away he is also good-tempered having both a winner soul and a loser soul stays settled in the most defecult situations (i can add more and more )but its never enough
Your Lover forever
