Editors note : You are a clean athlete in a sport that has had more than its share of unusual, inconsistent, irrational, archaic testing. Tennis has some athletes that are able to recover faster than normal. It has players that are super sized in a superman superhuman way.

And then there’s Roger. Out there sweating away on the courts of Dubai…

 

Roger is one smooth cat. Man he just is. He can’t help it. He just exudes a quality that says I know who I am. Do you? He looks so good in his Nike ensembles. He looks even more awesome in all those Mercedes and Rolex’s and suits or tuxedos (James Bond). But somehow he also looks elegant in jeans ( airport commercial for Lindt chocolate balls), flip flops, and a t-shirt. Now that’s cool. Cary Grant had it, George Clooney has it. It’s a star power.

 

America had a great songwriter named Cole Porter. He would have LOVED Roger. He would have had a line or two in ” You’re The Top” (sung best by Ella Fitzgerald)

 

You’re the top!

A Shakespeare sonnet

You’re the Coliseum (you fill the Wimbledon museum)

You’re the top!

You’re the Louve Museum.

You’re the top,

You’re the Tower of Pisa, you’re the smile on the Mona Lisa

You’re the top

You’re Napoleon brandy

You’re the top! It’s just that simple.
