The Fed-Express


Another grand slam and another victory for the seemingly unstoppable Roger Federer.
I heard that the folks down in Wimbledon have already engraved his name on the trophy as the 2006 champion? Well, I don't know if they have really, but they should, it would save them the hassle come July. You know what? They might as well get the French and US Open trophies done at the same time, I reckon they would get a discount.
I mean, he played pretty average by his standards over the last two weeks and still came out unscathed. Granted it was a weakened field but it doesn't bode well for the other players this year. Somehow I just can't see anybody on tour who has the weapons to hurt him.
It's intriguing to think that he now has seven grand slam singles titles to his name, the same as John McEnroe, one less than Andre Agassi and seven of the record held by Pete Sampras.
Remember we are talking about a 24 year old man, not some one coming to the end of a long career.
So lets just sit back and enjoy the watching him as he goes about making history.
