G*E*N*I*U*S


Another Wimbledon goes by with tennis fans hoping that somebody on the ATP tour would find something in them to challenge Roger Federer !!.. One set .. he just lost a single set .. in the whole of the 2005 Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

What makes Federer ... Federer!!
Effortless Stokeplay
Often you dont know that the champion is playing until you see the scorecard.It almost seems like he dosent hit the ball 1 mph harder that it should be hit to win the point.

Defensive Game
Federer is one of the best defensive players in the world today.. on watching his matches carefully you will notice how he converts the opponents advantage into his,by playing a good lob or a deep retrive.

Switching Modes
Being such an excellent defensive as well as offensive player is great,but more than that Federer switches between these two modes at will.Something that most other players find hard to do.

Temperment
As cool as ever,Federer never looks troubled in crucial situations.The fact that he has never been in a crucial situation for a while now is besides the point!.Like a Mercedes , when required he steps on the gas and takes his game to a whole new level.

Shot Selection
A player with the range of shots that he has,often has to decide between several options.His shot selection is bang-on.. A small example is...whenever his opponent rushes to the net,faster than he should,Federer always spots it and replies with an incledible lob!.

I wonder how long it will be until somebody can dethrone Federer at the All England Club.I cant see any top player in the ATP circuit doing it for the next three years atleast!...
