Reasons Roger Federer will win today

  • He’s due. The crystal ball at the edge of my desk is fairly shimmering with it.
  • He has been playing his first gear/second gear act all through the lead up to the tournament and lately, all the better to bamboozle us, my dear! Today! He’s going to do his thing!
  • That boy Nadal is quite quite brilliant, but all that aggression is just a little off-putting. Today is the day for subtlety.
  • I’ve ploughed through the innards of the internet* and would you believe it? Not a single close-up of that incredibly sexy thing that is the neck of Roger Federer. So I’ve pulled out all the stops and the photographers of Roland Garros have been Imperiused to concentrate all their attention on that neck. And of course the perfect photo-op would be when he lifts that glorious set of sinews to place un baiser parfait on his first French Open cup

*for some reason the net threw up quite a few pictures of Marat Safin’s neck. I’m really not complaining…nope!

*sigh* My sentiments most exactly. That useless lump of quartz, BTW, has been duly chucked out of the window.

...whereupon it duly and successfully impacted on one very stubborn Spaniard's head, I hope.

hey..the boy Nadal, is the one very big reason men's tennis is so interesting with no one else standing up to the demi-god, who you'd stick your neck out for:)

Lud'me man: Zits possible I'spose, But do you reckon it would indeed impact that steel-trap?

Zap: Of course, one concedes ze boy's usefulness as a foil. One only laments that the foil shone too brilliantly on said day and momentarily blinded the sun.
