The only thing looking sharper than me in my RF jacket is Roger Federer’s clinic against Monaco and Tsonga. These straight set beat downs were like watching Muhammad Ali during his prime. Strategically and hypnotically putting a serious hurt on his opponent. Sting after effortless sting with the flow of a butterfly and brimming confidence.

We’re fortunate enough to be witnessing this execution of how the game is dreamt of being played in real time. Since this is always all about me…take my lead, sit back relax and enjoy, the next match is going to be a doosie!
