The Kid is The Man

After one of the most exhilarating finals in the history of Wimbledon, 5 times straight winner Roger Federer should be more afraid than pleased and happy. Because the inevitable looks to be approaching sooner rather than later.

The amazing show by Spanish "superkid" Rafael Nadal will have left Federer stunned at how good he is becoming on grass. With Federer highly unlikely to ever push Nadal off clay, it seems like the prey is getting the better of the hunter's familiar territory.

Federer did give an amazing tribute to Nadal after the game, which speaks for the Mallorca man's brilliance at just a mere 21 years of age. One of my friends recently told me that he believes the Federer-Nadal era is similar to the Pete Sampras-Andre Agassi one. But the difference then was that Sampras always ended up winning. While now, the equation seems to equal to Federer, but is slowly tilting towards a certain young talent, who can happily say that "the show has just begun".....
