Granted you want to get - no matter what - but when you are at the crossroad Federer is parked at today, you've to push enough wiggle room to let words like 'savor' and 'fun' to filter in not only to benefit from the journey but moreover to enhance your chances of winning again. That is the stage where trying tougher proportionately decreases your chances of success while retaining a more natural and normal state at the very least lets you absorb the shock of disappointment more beautifully and with less pain, even when success is totally rejected. But the underlying reason in charge of this intense a journey this late in the day leaves Federer without any other alternative. Only place yourself in his shoes. You've not only broken virtually every record ever documented you've left freaking it to pieces - under ALL conditions, competition etc. You've passed the gold standard history with enough space to spare (17-14). That's enough proper to curl up. That's IN which Sampras was when 'nothing left to show such a thing' appeared to enable him never to fight Father Time anymore. Federer can there be - with a slight twist. Need it one word? Nadal. A shadow long and dense enough have been cast by nadal to force Federer to constantly seek way of getting just as much separation as he can with whatever continues to be in his control. As yet, it was whatever had happened previously between the two that was driving the vehicle. Maybe not anymore. With this Nadal revival coinciding with a right set win over Federer - on a hard court and at a match Federer has won significantly more than anybody ever - that past has morphed in to present AND potential. It is not that Nadal will have a way to even fit Federer's records, forget about passing them, nevertheless the sooner he reaches them, particularly the all-important one, their past history resumes it is throwing shadow program - with even more efficiency. That dynamic leaves Federer with no choice but to pursue bagging games and documents with desperation and even more violence. And that consequently provides some thing called frustration accompanied by stress - not to mention the wrench it includes in the normal working of the gadget. These two words (frustration and desperation) should be the last ones to be associated with Federer and his profession. Once you cannot go anywhere in the world - minus the threat of people mentioning Nadal to discredit your achievements - it's not easy to just let it go at this time. It's the ever-present elephant in the space whose impact can just only be mitigated not eliminated by increasing the distance through more titles AND more titles. Don't believe and appreciate the FULL influence to be 'had' so publicly? Just ask Graf and Agassi. It's like being robbed of your personality. You will have that 'are they planning to ask how come Nadal ate your meal' search on your face - even yet in your own house. It is like we that are let by that thorn under your mattress you sleep - but you can't enter the deepest level of sleep. Translation: Federer, after being on the visit for 13 years, is still working on BASIC NEED. The necessity to push the beast as far removed from his trunk of value that you can to let his 'complete' Halo to shine - uninhibited. Federer may give a number of good reasons for his excessive work this late, however the cause of it's rooted in some unknown island in Spain. The winner has been announced and you will need to await the book to show it - decades later - if the temperature of the second has subsided.
