how much i miss those days .i wish those days would come back or at least repeat thelmeslves once more.

i turn on the tv and change it to channel three.its sport news and that stout guy with his unusual and nice pronouncing of ITALIA! is quoting:roger federer...and i know the rest of the sentence.one more championship.one more title.

that was for 7 or 8 years ago.these days he doesnt say those words very often.it was as if we were used to his announcing your infinite trophies for all those years.but these days it doesnt happen much.its no problem.as always we see those devoted fans in the stadium,holding a placard which reads:you are always our number one.

you are the man of our memories.with every win of yours ,with every title we would forget all our tough days ,all our hard days,on the contrary with every defeat,we would feel down in the dumps even if we were having our best days in life.how many times i was not myself at a university exam when you had lost .how many times i would'nt enjoy anything in life after a tough loss.

you were more than an idol.these days its really getting tougher to live with all these economical problems,but still when you win dubai we feel refreshed,as if we have claimed that title ourselves.sometimes i feel i have won 78 titles myself.i feel those trophies to be mine.

we fans are really lucky,are really blessed,yes blessed to be at the time when u are playing tennis.i feel myself sitting in the near future on a rocking chair in front of the fireplace and telling of your bravery to my grand son one day.

and i will show so much enthusiasm that i would feel that he is getting jealous.yes.envious,why he wasnt at that time to be watching your mastery,to be your dedicated fan,to enjoy your wins and cry with your defeats.the right word i guess is BEGRUDGE.

how many times we cried simultaneously with you.when you lost that heart breaking match to rafa at melbourne in 2009 and wasnt able to tie sampras tally of slam triumphs.when you started crying at the ceremony.we cried with you.when you won that coveted elusive Roland garros title in 2009,and you were receiving the trophy by andre agassi,you were crying.we were crying too..

your love for tennis is interminable.as once you mentioned that you love tennis more than anybody.

not lots of people know you here at this country .they dont know the way you are. how gentlemanly you behave.what an artist you are.the artistry you demonstate is not gonna be repeated in the game by anyone else.

there may emerge some guys ,trying to imitate your game,sometimes may even be labelled as baby fed(dimitrov)but they dont have your passion,love,verve for tennis.

he tries to imitate your footwork but under pressure he looks as if he is broken ,he shows his true colors.the real himself.

who can have your consistency in the game?
unfortunately here they dont broadcast tennis.but the arab community with all their stupidity as they are known started to broadcast tennis,to encourage the kids into this sport.with big champions like you,they gradually become inspired.and less and less young generations will be attracted to addiction,depression,and the likes.

arabs show those matches with the fan's cheering sounds,that give a lot of inspiration and interests the kids into the sport.here even when they broadcast foreign football they cut the fan's cheering sounds and it becomes so dull ,in most of those matches you are fast sleep in the first half of the match.!!its been replace as the modern lullably in our country!

never forget how happy i was when jsc sports 2 was scrambled and then gone for ever!yes i was the happiest guy in the world! because from now on i wouldn't get stress and become awfully nervous during a match anymore,i wouldnt regret if i missed any match of you,i could tell myself that the channel was gone anyway.

but now i see what a fool i was! i really miss your artistry.you are 32 years of age and thises years could be your final years ,every match of yours is a blessing to watch.

i miss watching you dancing around the court,escaping the targeted backhand and using your inside out forehand,when your opponent is stuck in the middle of the baseline.

when one of the ski champions was asked to pick between roger and rafa,she immediately answered:of course roger,he is a gentleman ...


you have always felt yourself responsible to the fans,that they are now a part of your life.you have done your best to be an epitome for them.
i learned from you to be patient at my losses in life.to wait for the good days to come ,to have faith,to believe that the tough days will end one day.

i wish one day you would come to our country.i wish there was an ATPworld tour tournament here.we would pack the stadium and start cheering,with placards holding in our hand:SHHH...THE GENIUS AT WORK...

if we were lucky, at the end of the match ,we would receive autographs.

but these are all dreams.
