Thanks for the link; that was great. I was a big fan of watching tennis during Fed's heyday. It's amazing to have such an articulate writer describe the feeling of watching him. He really is the most unbelievable athlete I've ever seen (and I never got to experience it in person, sadly). The only other man I've ever seen that can blow my mind with his technique is Pavel Datsyuk (a professional hockey player, for the uninitiated...here is an amazing compilation, but watch it without sound). Both men have a unique blend of physical and creative impossibility that watching them is transcendent in a way that redefines sports.
