Truly awesome

I’ve waited a long time to let inspiration find its way into my being so that I can write something incisive or touching about Roger Federer’s epic loss to Rafael Nadal in the final of the Australian Open.
None is forthcoming. In fact, almost 24 hours later I find myself numb with the emotion of loss. As if I was playing Rafa.
I have boasted in these columns earlier how I have interviewed both, and even had dinner with Rafa. Federer is clearly my favourite. But, you can’t help but be awed by Rafa’s completeness of game. Truly awesome.
