I am sure it means the world to be able to hold up the trophy standing amongst what people coined as ‘legends’ who have been there, done that.

The unspokeable joy! Oh hey, Mr Laver, why are you not holding the trophy?

No wonder, this man is saying that tennis is crazy, this year has been crazy and what-not. With that painful five-setter loss in Australia earlier this year (dang! if he had won.. he would have a chance to make it a calendar Grand Slam!), then the Mirka pregnancy announcement and later the sudden out-of-blue-but-we-exptected-it-anyways wedding leading to the clay court season..

I mean, it is a whole lot to grasp, right?

With Nadal out of picture, you wonder if anyone could ever be better and beat him. You see, some people say Nadal is the greatest because he has leading head-to-head record against the greatest, ie. Roger. I refuse to dwell in that simply because I see tennis as such as subjective subject. You cannot compare player to player and match to match. The game is just like that. One painful loss does not mean his entire career is over.
