dakle, ovako ja gledam na to...

nekad sam i ja znao bit začuđen kad bi neki veliki igrač, Agassi recimo, nakon poraza znao govorit da ga nije briga za išta, mislio sam da je čovjek đubre, da se malo oštrije izrazim...

al opet, kad se sve pogleda - pravi šampion ni ne bi trebao (ni smio) bit ništa drugo nego kritičan prema sebi javno kad izgubi, i bit neraspoložen, i ljut... al i priznat protivniku njegove zasluge, dat mu kredit za ono što je radio dobro, što je Fed i ovog puta napravio - što uostalom napravi redovito:

"But I think he made the more important points today. It was a bit unfortunate for me, but he did play well and served really well when he had to."

"Look, it happens. But he covered the court well. He didn't give me much. So that obviously played a role in the way I played tonight"

"He's been playing very solid. He had a tough draw, you know, if I compare it to maybe Rafa's. So he absolutely deserves to be in the final."

"But, like I said, he came up with some great shots, some great serves, and, you know, saved himself that way."

"You know, I like to give credit to my opponent, as well. I don't want to blame it too much on my own play. He came up with the shots at the right time, and that's all I can say really."

"Well, like I said, the second set he started just unloading. You know, that's not usually what he does. He can, obviously, and play aggressive. But, you know, not on every shot. The way he played, he picked up every serve.

It was fantastic, you know. He did play great."

zato sam i rekao da je bio graciozan u porazu kao što i inače je...

ako od pravog šampiona očekujete da kaže "da, trenutno je bolji igrač od mene", moram reć da previše očekujete... to nije odlika pravog šampiona, i nije to nikakva bahatost...

evo za primjer - Nole je dok još nije bio na ovoj razini rezultata rekao da mu je cilj bit prvi tenisač svijeta, i da vjeruje da će to i biti... sad, da ja počnem mislit da je bahat zbog toga? ne dolazi u obzir, zašto bih mislio?

jednostavno, pravi šampion mora mislit tako, mora bit i malo sebičan, pa i mrvicu uobražen, da se tako izrazim...

čestitka svima koji su došli do kraja ovog posta , i molim, ne nazivat Federera il bilo koga svinjom, nije baš rječnik za finu raspravu u mirnom tonu, kakve preferiram...
