Roger Federer: Supreme Dominance

In modern day sports, only Tiger Woods and Roger Federer have dominated their respective sports. In my humble opinion, Roger's dominance is even more remarkable as he has to be on top of his game whenever he plays Tiger can have a day or two off and still win the tournament by dominating the other days.

I have not seen any tennis player in as dominant as Federer. His opponents just hope of not getting embarrassed on the court when facing him. He seems to relish adverse situations on court when he gets into one of the occasional five setters. His dominance has been so compelling that he enjoys those occasional tough matches.

His comments after the recent five setter with Tipsarevic:

"It's not such a relief -- it's more happiness," Federer told the crowd at the Rod Laver Arena, where he has won three Australian titles including the last two. "I'm happy I could deliver a five-set thriller. It was good to be part of something like this."

He considers himself a performer/entertainer, entertaining us with his sublime tennis.

Lleyton Hewitt on Roger Federer's 5 setter:

"Obviously, an incredible day of tennis," Hewitt said, sounding hoarse and tired. "I mean, for Roger Federer to go five sets -- how often does that happen?"
