Well, he's at it again. Roger Federer didn't even have to play his recent match at Wimbledon because his opponent, Tommy Haas, withdrew due to a "torn stomach muscle". Regardless of the reason for his withdrawal, it wouldn't have made much difference because the way Roger Federer has been playing, the ATP could have reincarnated Arthur Ashe, and still not have brought him down. Roger's complete and total dominance over tennis today is simply awe inspiring. Not only is he the four time defending Wimbledon champion and a winner of ten grand slam events, but the way he has sustained his success on the court and consistently dismantled his opponents has made him not only the best in his generation, but the best ever. Anyone who questions this need only look at the recent Australian Open, where he went through the whole tournament without dropping a single set. And for his so called "rival" Andy Roddick? the three times they met at Wimbledon, A-Rod went down. In fact, in those three matches, Roddick only managed to win 2 sets combined. Just recently, he overcame his one achilles heel by beating his other rival Rafael Nadal on a clay court for the first time at the Hamburg Masters tournament. Don't be surprised to see it happen more often now that Roger has figured out how to do it. Keep your eyes on the final match as you will be sure to see Roger Federer add to his 10 grand slam titles and maintain his record streak of consecutive weeks ranked #1 in the world by the ATP. He has been there since February 2, 2004 and he doesn't look to be leaving there soon

Teresa,
Glad you got the whole posting thing figured out. For bonus points, tell us this: do you think Roger Federer is the greatest player ever?
Good initial post. In the future, challenge yourself to take more of a position in relation to an argument. Definitely a good start though.
