Craig,
I've been reading your blog for quite awhile now, and as a confirmed Federer idoloter, never felt like commenting. But this morning is emotional.
There seems to me to be something in Roger that makes you hope for something perfect. Maybe this is childish, maybe Roger is a little big childish still. Maybe it is just that for a couple years, he did seem perfect, like the game had been solved. This was inspirational.
Regardless, Nadal is the truth, and there is no denying it.
And yet, it is hard not to feel bad for Roger. What a tragic development for his expectations, and mine.
Instead of perfection, or achievement, I'm now humbled by Nadal's superhuman generosity and real human warmth. It's easy to see larger the implications that these two men represent.
But really. Roger Federer: Tragic figure. Who would have known? A perfect insight, thanks.
