I like Federer too. But I dont root for him like I use to root for Andre Agassi.
I basically root for Federer out of default. I just cant get excited about any tennis players right now. I'd rather see domination of this kind than watch two no name guys go at it in the finals of a French Open.
Federer isnt my favorite player, I cant say I even have one at the moment. I root for him, Rafael Nadal, James Blake, and thats pretty much about it. Cant stand Roddick and take pleasure in rooting against him.
Like in horse racing, I miss the 90's when there were many guys I could look forward to watching and rooting for in good competition...Agassi, Sampras, Courier, Edberg, Becker, Stich, Bruguera and Chang.
If it wasnt for this domination by Federer I probably wouldnt watch at all. I just cant get excited about watching Roddick drill serves and throw tantrum fits like he is John Mcenroe. Maybe I should set my alarm for every 2 years when Safin decides to actually compete?
