I felt so Happy when he Cried Again

But this time these were the tears of joy. Tears that had been kept in check for years for this grand moment .While they rolled down his cheeks, it must’ve given him a huge sense of accomplishment on achieving something that rest can only dream of !

Three back to back defeats in the finals of French Open but the champion returns for the fourth time against a different opponent. Taking nothing away, but one wonders whether it was his Swede adversary Robin Soderling who had more to do with the lucky break. After all it was Soderling’s Herculean display that had sent Federer’s nemesis and clay court master Nadal packing earlier in the tournament.



Setting that thought aside, it was his faith in himself and sheer persistence that moulded the history in his favour in the end. Luck favours the brave as they say and the clay that had eluded the champion Swiss for so long finally seemed to succumb to his iron will. It was history in the making and an accomplishment that rightly deserved a standing ovation_ A charging moment and victory and I felt elated for the sportsman for bringing about the marvelous feat that exudes immense motivation and inspiration.

His eyes were damp again. But much in contrast to what it looked like when he burst into tears on losing to Nadal sometime back.
