I picked a few gems from ESPN.com:

* "Like the poet Carl Sandberg's description of fog, Federer comes whispering in on little cat feet. He rarely looks hurried. He hits silky, easy-looking winners from seemingly untenable positions. He seems surprised, even irritated, when he hits the ball out."

* "He's improving as well," said Roddick, "which is scary."

* "James Blake, after losing to Federer in the quarterfinals, called him "the best athlete of our time -- not tennis player, athlete.""

* "He's just a genius with the racket," Navratilova said earlier in the day. "Probably at his best, he was better than anybody else at their best."

****

I guess that just about says it all, eh?

;-)

You know, even Tiger seems human at times.

This guy Federer just doesn't seem human.

I think he's could be an android...or a Vulcan.
