What an endearing confession, Tenez...
It's true. I am realising that tennis is getting less and less important.
That is good of you Tenez, a tribute to your favorite player without offending anyone. Rarity on these boards.
Being a Djokovic supporter, I still think Djoko will end up with a positive H2H against Fed but that is almost besides the point. Federer has already achieved everything he wanted to and played some great tennis so he does not need to prove anything to anyone, I agree.
More of the same form a different fan:

Thanks Bladegunner. Do you often post here?
Not often, Tenez, but every now and then. I don't mind people bigging up their own favorite players as long as they maintain some basic respect for their rivals.
Well I am not bigging up...and not disrespecting players. I just describe what I see and feel. Fans however might be reading me as bigging up some and disrespecting others.
I can relate to the OP. Although i know things will be different when he plays a final set GS final.
To be honest, i didn't care much for the Olympic tennis tournament but the semi against Delpo is one of the most exhausting matches i have ever watched. Even though i like Delpo..
I don't know where it came from, but it just came out of nowhere ( which takes me back to my still unanswered self-question "where do thoughts come from?", this thought to hear this piece of music on whose wings my soul flew during all those weeks and months of Nole's Streak.
I then played all the other pieces that landmarked slams he played in and stopped at Wimbledon, which is when that fountain fo poetic light dried up. Like a dead ed you never expected and thought of, but in hindsight know it had to happen.
I suppose, I am trying to find another kick-start, and believe it may come. but those things come and you can't make them come. that's why they are precious and I don't care what everyone else thinks.
So, jus tlistening to those few pieces of music, , got a lump i the throat and misty eyes, and remebered this article.
I had a flashback of all the crazy things I said and did all the beautiful, beautiful moments Nole gave me during the last 5 years. I know he's probably half-way to Fed's 10 years. but I can't help having this "I'm missing him already" feeling.
I have not been a "classic" fan, but I have all my life been passionate abut sport and various athletes and teams, but never anything like Nole.
It's not hard to put into words, but it will take time and pour out when they are ready.
Your "relationship" with Federer is different but I can feel the void his leaving will cause you.
Void is definitely THE word. I dread mine.
