Going into the French Open final at Paris last Sunday, one thing was certain, there would be tears from Roger Federer whether he won or lost.

Federer Lets It Flow

Maybe Federer, whose footwork evokes ballet, whose Swiss-taught linguistic skills are the envy of many, was rewarded by the tennis gods for being an open man, for sharing with the world how much he cares.

How else to explain the divine parting of the draw as the world’s best players went down, especially Nadal to an overachieving Soderling in the fourth round? Then rain slowed the red clay court in the hours before the final, blunting Soderling’s power, favouring Federer’s movement and variety. Unbreakable on serve, fierce with his forehand, dead-on with his drop shot, Federer was threatened only in the second set when Soderling served himself into a tie breaker. Federer then came up aces on the four balls he served.

“When there was a chance to make it a match, you saw what he did,” Rod Laver said from his Southern California home. “Amazing, the other guy didn’t put his racket on one ball.” Three years ago, Laver presented Federer the trophy in Melbourne after career slam No 7.

“I shook his hand, gave him the trophy, he went to the mic and couldn’t get any words out,” Laver said. “Afterward, when we were inside, he gave me a hug and said, ‘I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.’ But I was touched by how much it meant to him, by how much of a historian he is, how much he knows about the years that I played.”

Even if Federer never wins again, Sampras is already out of the greatest-of-all-time discussion. He never so much as made a French final. But what about Laver? He won a Grand Slam as an amateur, another as a professional. In between, he lost five years of eligibility in Grand Slam tournaments, limiting his career victory total to 11.
