Master of Masters

He was surely a class apart. It was a treat to watch Roger Federer outclass James Blake in the finals of the Masters cup. As Blake commented during the prize ceremony, it was a Tennis lesson given by the master. All said and done, Federer's demolition of Blake was expected. What I did not expect was the way Rafael Nadal was dismissed in the semis. Nadal has been the only person in recent times to have shown the talent to beat Federer. Yes, Federer has also lost to few others like David Nalbandian, but those defeats have been too few and far inbetween, and the kind that do not get repeated. Nadal is a player who has shown the grit, the tenacity and the talent to beat Federer. I love Federer's game, but am not quite satisfied watching a single person dominating a game. Hope Nadal would give Federer tougher times in the future, or, may be, a new talent surfaces soon. Till then I guess I would just sit back and enjoy the artistic exhibition of tennis displayed by the champion.
