Sheer genius from Roger. He doesn't play like this as often anymore - the foot speed, the lightning speed at which he turns defence into attack, the laser-sharp forehand and backhand down the line.
Then again, tennis isn't quite played like this nowadays. And this match is only 5 years old.

On another note, it continues to be unforgivingly humid and hot. What. The. Hell. Is. Wrong. With. The. Weather. In. This. Country.
I woke up at 10 this morning, wanting to watch some of the Djokovic/Tsonga Rogers Cup semi-final that should have been Djokovic/Federer if Roger hadn't gone off the boil in the third set against Tsonga. When I turned on the TV the match was already over. When I checked the score I found out that Tsonga retired 0-3 in the second set after losing the first set 4-6.
FUCK YOU JO-WILFRIED TSONGA. YOU DON'T BEAT ROGER FEDERER AND THEN RETIRE TWO MATCHES LATER. FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU. FUCK YOU.
He's officially Clownga again.

Wei Chuen has been in Taipei for too long. It's time for him to come back. I miss him.
