Roger Federer Vs Marat Safin at the Wimbledon Male Semifinls. ARGHHHH! UTTER FUCKING FRUSTRATION! It could have been an awesome game instead it was a game of frustration and mediocre tennis. Dammit Marat, you were meant to PUSH Federer to the limit, instead the two of you didn't perform at a level deserving of a Semifinal. It was fucking MEDIOCRE tennis from the current world no.1 and the former world no.1. Just WTF?!

See, I think Federer is an awesome tennis player, possibly the best there has ever been, however, I also find his newer matches boring. He was amazing when he went up against Sampras and Agassi; that raw intensity is something that I just don’t get to see much from him anymore, and that makes me sad. Because ANGRY, INTENSE Federer was awesome. OK, fine, his matches with Nadal are a thing of beauty.

And since I mentioned Sampras I just want to talk about how he and Agassi’s decade-long-rivalry made me fall in love with tennis. Their matches were phenomenon, and the two of them only decided to participate in the Davis Cup when both were guaranteed a position. They switched the position of no.1 several times within a year, and they always pulled the best performance from each other. This is like the stuff of EPIC. So very awesome.

In short; you are only as good as your competition. And neither Federer nor Marat was good competitors in this match.

Nadal vs Federer for the Finals. YES! They better attempt to kill each other in the match.
