Federer – Actions Speak Louder than Words |
Comment First |
Congratulations to Roger Federer on his success at Monte Carlo and at the French Open! We have all recognized his great qualities for many years now. What was so special at the French was to see how the fans reacted to his impending achievement.
We as Americans are often quick to build up a champion then decide they have won too often, and that it is now time for them to lose. How many times have you pulled for the underdog just because the other player has won enough in our minds? That is one of the several reasons we become Dallas Cowboys or Los Angeles Dodgers haters.
What is great to see is not only the greatness of Roger Federer but people around the world still like for the guy to win. Even the finalist at the French said he hoped Roger could win his Career Slam. Seldom do you see someone continue to win, be on the verge of breaking records and the majority of people still pull for the champion instead of the underdog. Did you see the amount of celebrities in attendance at the French Open from other sports?
Congratulations to Roger on his Career Slam (1 of 6 to achieve this title), winning the French Open, and being presented his trophy by another Career Slammer – Andre Agassi. Most of all congratulations on being a winner that has earned the appreciation and respect of tennis fans around the world. The action of the audience and tennis fans tells you what a true champion and person you are. Their actions speak louder than words.
