molly Says:
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
