Watched Federer win the Aussie Open this morning. He is just awesome. There's no other word. They were already talking about whether he could do the Grand Slam this year and it doesn't seem crazy. It all hnags on the French, of course, but still, I can see it.

It feels so lucky to be interested in the sport now, when a man who is definitely going to go down in history as one of the best players of the game ever is making history. Some of these matches are things they're going to show in rain breaks for years. I really really really hope that I get to see him live one day and thats not beyond the realm of possibility. There are still records to be broken, although fewer and fewer.

I don't know, although I was majorly impressed by his attitude to attacking the grass last year. It's true he's got plenty of time - he's more Murray's age than Federers really. I guess I just find it hard to picture actually better than Federer, although I could see an equally matched clash of the Titans type rivalry developing...
