Yes, I'm talking about the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger, and this is why.
Seriously, Abstruse Goose is one hell of a cartoon!
Update: This article says it all - Andy's loss of the second set was about all that separated today's winner from the runner up. And like one of the commenters on that page said, Andy didn't deserve to lose. At all.
The Federer Express was on course today to notch up yet another Grand Slam win. With this victory, he becomes the only player in tennis history (in the Open era) to win fifteen Grand Slam singles titles. This win was, alas, not his best though.
This match should be Andy Roddick's finest ever performance at Wimbledon, a match he was simply unlucky to lose since he was the better player for almost the entire match, except during the second set, when Federer held his nerves to come back from four set points down to clinch it eventually. If anybody bothered to ask who deserved to win this match on the basis of superior tennis played, the answer would be, undoubtedly, Andy Roddick. A-Rod not only maintained an unbelievably high percentage of first serves, but his shot-making was also tremendously high-percentage, high-quality, and consistent.
In the end, I was feeling sad for Andy Roddick, and was wondering how cruel sport could be. Today, what separated the runner up from his opponent was merely a matter of a few shots towards the end of the match. As is often said, winners are not necessarily the ones who perform the best; they're often those with a greater belief in their own ability to win. In his acceptance speech, Federer himself acknowledged that he was merely the luckier man today, and that Andy played "unbelievable" tennis.
