Dear youngest Federer,
By the time you are old enough to understand this,your father wont be the player he once
was.So,this is for you,from those of us who were there,just to tell you who he was.He was a champion like tennis had never seen.He was so graceful-any ballet dancers would wanna burn their shoes.He was fast.He was powerful,but like a ferrari.They all came at him,and they all fell to him!major after major,year after year your father dominated this sport,the way avalanches dominate trees.And yet he was so humble and decent that it became no shame to lose to him.In fact,it became kind of an honour!To lose to ROGER FEDERER meant you were woven into the fabric of sports history.And what a histoy he wrote!You ll read abt it someday and it will shock you.But his finest moment might have been when on a sun splashed sunday of Wimbledon,he passed the record of Pete Sampras.Some thought we might not ever see that day!Thought he had been passed by younger,bulkier models.But they were wrong.GODS do not get passed!This august,you'll come along and tennis will be less important.majors will become minors,trophies will become teething rings.and ur father's perfect life will,somehow,get even better!
:) :) :D
