Djokovic vs. [2] Federer

The Final match is between [1] Novak Djokovic and [2] Roger
Federer today at 1 pm EDT.
The preliminary matches and paths to the final for these two
players couldn't have been more different.
After a bit of rust in the first match vs. Bautista-Agut, Roger
Federer sailed through his matches like an America's Cup
schooner breezing toward victory.
His victims included solid top 20 player Kevin Anderson, who had
recently battled World #1 Djokovic at Wimbledon losing a tough 5
set match. Federer clinically destroyed the amiable big serving
Anderson, his worst ATP Tour loss ever, with a pair of
bread-sticks.
Even yesterday, though the score looked closer, many canny
tennis pros were saying over and under their unbiased breath
that Roger was toying with Andy.
If Andy's first serve had not been excellent, I don't doubt the
score would have been more representative of the play.
On the other hand, Novak Djokovic got through his matches the
tough way, but in a most satisfying manner for him.
He permitted his opponents to have immense hope, by playing a
level lower than theirs, appearing as a dull weakened warrior,
and then, suddenly, when his eager opponents saw the finish line
in sight, he flicked his eyes wide open and ripped their hearts
out like he was performing a demonic ritual from the ancient
Aztec civilization.
Yesterday he was on the verge of serious injury, after the Dog
had taken chunks of him for a better part of two sets.
Bent over, with his abdominal region in obvious agony, he was
attended to furiously by an expert medical team.
Somehow, someway, perhaps endowed with miraculous skills from
the Lord of Light, the physicians worked their magic, and
restored Nole to health before one could say Goran Ivanisevic.
Rejuvenated and awakened, the Serbian Slayer lashed out and
leashed the formerly uncontrollable Dog by not giving him any
space and time to perform his unpredictable tricks. Novak's
defensive wall was in place and no matter how quickly the Dog
ran and jumped, he could not find a way past the fleet footed
master of Masters.
In short, and in conclusion, we have the wizened wizard Federer,
a player who barely mussed his hair, broke a sweat, and was
never broken, peRFectly attempting to win his seventh final from
seven attempts in Cincinnati.
He will face the doggedly determined Djokovic, a player who has
tested himself to the edge of defeat, suffered agonizing pain,
but overcame adversity with his never say die tenacity and
fortitude.
Whomever can continue their tournament strategy the best will
win today. [B]PeRFection vs. iNDomitability[/B].
If they both can execute their tournament blueprints it could be
a great match. But if Roger fails to be peRFect or nearly so,
or if Novak fails to be iNDomitable or nearly impenetrable, then
it might not live up to those expectations.
Best of fortune and health to both players. 8)
Respectfully,
masterclass

congrats to the great tennis grandmaster.
there is no stopping Roger at any age.
let the relentless drive past 100 titles continue.
our MTF Roger Federer will live on forever because we alone had
the vision to say that he was after 100+ titles.
and we are still the ones to say that he will play, fight,
battle, and compete until he is 43+.

Wow, I didn't know Novak was hurt in his match against
Dogopolov. That's news to me.

Novak never had a chance. I fast forwarded through the match
because I didn't want to spend two hours when the first match
was already over. That's the problem with recording LOL, I get
to impatient to watch the actual match. I wanted to see Serena
and Halep, because so far Serena has only lost two matches this
year and I know she's under tremendous pressure to perform the
Grand Slam. I hope she does it. That would be great.
