Of legends and Nadal

As I write this, Raphael Nadal is tearing Roger Federer a new arsehole at the French Open finals. A pity. Federer will always have the clay of France as the stain that denies him cannonisation as the greatest tennis player ever. It’s 4-0 in the third. I have only interacted with Roger at press conferences. But, Nadal I have had the pleasure of having dinner with. The difference between Roger and Nadal is, Roger is humble till the point it is almost embarrassing. Nadal is like Jesus. If people call him King he doesn’t argue. Until Wimbledon, of course.
