"When you watch Roger Federer play, you are not watching tennis. You are watching art!"
If this is how I feel, then why would I not like to watch him play?
Unfortunately, though I have been playing tennis for more than five years now, I started following the sports on TV only very recently. All these years when Federer was reigning supreme, I didn't watch him play. Then when I started following the game, Federer's dominance is on decline.
Though he is losing matches rather easily nowadays, watching him play is still a delight. I believe that he has single-handedly raised the level of tennis played today.
To see him lose makes my stomach churn. I get acidity and lose sleep. I usually switch off the TV and go to sleep when I see signs of Federer failing.
Do you feel the same when you see your favorite star go through such situations?
I realize that it is not just Federer. I have the same going for Kamal Hassan too. I still can't watch Moondram Pirai or Ek Duje Ke Liye!
Do you feel the same when you see your favorite star lose?
That also makes me wonder, why can't I just enjoy the sport? Why do I have to take sides? Is that even possible?
