I'm No Fool

Which means I recognize greatness when I see it - and that Wimbledon final was great. Two great players meeting...Federer, not in his top form, but revealing an extraordinary amount of guts against the up and comer, the clay court master, Nadal, with his improved backhand taking down the reigning champion.

By the end, I didn't care who won. Too much heart and grace to root against either of the guys. I can't remember seeing a better tennis match.

Greatness is when the form doesn't do the subject justice...when human will transcends the medium. You know it when you see it...because the reaction is: wow - this is bigger than tennis. And it was.
