Roger!!! The Fed stops the Djoker
Novak Djokovic was looking unstoppable. 43-match streak, not a single loss this year, easy wins over the toughest opponents, the number one ranking and Roland Garros his for the taking.
You forgot Roger Federer. The Master snapped Djoker’s streak in four sets, 7-6 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (5).
It was gargantuan, that’s how everyone describes it. I didn’t see it, I’d gone to bed at 2 am to get an early start on today’s coverage. That’s when the text messages from my friends started coming: Fed up on Djoko! Goodbye, good night’s sleep—my eyes flew open every hour to check my messages. This is worth the interrupted sleep.
I started writing about the national rugby team last year immediately after Roger Federer lost at Roland Garros—it took my mind off the impending end of the Fed era. Well it’s not over. We’re covering tennis again! Let’s go to Wimbledon!
