Roger federer

Federer retiring and the world's reaction to his retirement bring tears to my eye
he is a sporting legend and a gentleman
like my balasubramaniam
a singer and a gentleman. 
Federer is the reason I started watching tennis and playing more tennis
my husband and I used to stay up late and watch the 4 opens together. so Federer and tennis were ways for us to bond and remind me of my early happy days of marriage 
then we had a baby and we xoyld still watch but less and then they started charging and saro ever practical decided to not subscribe coz with a baby We don't have much time anyway and so my watching declined drastically.  its not the same reading about beautiful games in the papers so its always with a touch of nostalgia and sadness I think about tennis. payment and an overly practical husband marred my enjoyment of Federer for many more years. 
thinking back I could have made stronger decisions myself as I would now
for now we are partners more than lovers. less dependency. 

anyway
so Federer retiring feels like an ending of many things  . 
glad I watched some of his games at least. I watched Nadal come on and face him and both compete and be friends. I watched djikovich come on too and become the great three. now there are 2.. 

farewell Federer. thank you for the game
