Top-Notch Tennis Taunts The Textbooks !!!

The Roger-Roddick 'Racket' !!!

Well, it is quite confounding to convey that the trendy tennis, today makes way for retaking a bit of the past. [Quite reminiscent about the times of Borg or Gonzales, where games were dealt in double figures.] Despite the fact that the topical tennis needs the neglectful nature of eliding each set to tie-breakers, one would always look for the entertaining and an exhausting last set finish. A dreamy last set would certainly turn dreamier if it is on the final, and certainly yes, if it goes for a game score close to 16-14 as it happened a while back. In case you are not believing it, well it is time to admit that the theory of tennis still tenders true traits.

A cracker of a final match between the 6th seeded American, Andy Roddick and the 2 seeded Star(now the top seed), Roger Federer started in supreme style. Rod kicked-off right away stealing the first set with a break in the final game, but just lost himself on his way to the better seeded, during the next 2 sets, both in a tie-breaker, especially the first one standing more gettable to the American. At the end of the first 3 sets, when Federer was leading 2-1, everyone eyed as if the absence of the defending champion Nadal, would rather reinforce the former runner-up to rub the trophy rightfully this time. However, the 6th seeded American ostentatiously overlooked the opinions of the old-hands and went on winning the fourth set to claim the viewers worth their tickets to watch a spectacular five-setter final at the Wimbledon, Centre Court.

One would expect that the last set would last for not less than 6 to 8 games with both the players serving strongly. The way they held their nerves electrified the experts(the experts included Sampras, Borg, Laver and the American Commentator, Mc Enroe). The set went on to a stupefying 16-14 against Roddick, whose serve was broken for the very first time in the match that lasted for more than 4 hours. At last, it was the habitual nature of the hero that cradled the championship once again, but none could forget the feat of Roddick, simply because he played the game of his life. While one would certainly say that Andy would have gained more number of followers after this final, or certainly more than the number present before 3 years, it is quite certain that the top-notch tennis has slightly started to taunt the textbooks or experts who would now believe that the modern-day tennis still renders 'perfect, poised and pointed players'.
