Roger Federer - You Idiot.

So he might be the greatest tennis player of the modern era.

Some might say any era.

Sure he is usually humble, polite, gracious and all the rest of it. Sure i love watching him play - as long as its is against Rafael Nadal - But I cant help but laugh at poor old Roger.

I did lose a lot of respect for him when he cried uncontrollably after losing the Australian Open final to Rafa - for a few reasons

1. It is a Tennis Match 2. Men don't cry 3. Champions don't cry (especially when they lose) 4. Tiger Woods does not cry 5. you teach children not to cry when they lose at sports 6. Rod Laver never cried 7. tantrums, although unsportsmanlike, are far more entertaining 8. Roger has millions of dollars. i could go on and on but really it is inexcusable - he just should not have cried.

It was just plain embarrassing.

But getting back to Wimbledon....

However embarrassing i thought that little lacrimation episode was, Roger has plummeted to an all new low with his attire at Wimbledon this week. Sure he will probably win the tournament, sure im not even writing a blog about Wimbledon because its really not worth it - no Rafa, no competition, so really no point. He turned up wearing a white military style jacket with a turned up collar and the letters 'RF' emblazoned in gold on the breast, a matching gold and white bag (with a big 'RF'), a white headband with a gold nike swoosh - matching shoes - and then the vest. He could not have looked like more of a tosser if Elton John had dressed him.

I know it was probably not his idea, i guess Nike probably owns him and his first born, but if you are going to have people laugh at you like they do at Serena Williams and her fashion sense you could at least attempt to look unhappy about it!

So here is my Wimbledon preview.

Mens - Roger wins.

Womens - who cares? why watch womens tennis when you can watch mens?
