It was rough being a FedKAD this year, especially during hard court season when people were saying his best days are behind him (with him losing to the rest of the "Big 4", a baby on the way, younger players breaking through, inconsistency in his strokes, etc.)...
Even I felt that his dominant days were probably over due to stiffer competition, but I think that he still had what it takes to win a few more Grand Slams. I was prepared to be patient and I didn't expect too much coming into clay season (although I was admittedly reluctantly excited when he defeated an exhausted Nadal in Madrid going into the French Open).
I was hoping for a fourth consecutive final (presumably against Nadal, of course), but that was pretty much it. When his "typical" threats got eliminated, I couldn't help but feel like this was his best chance to finally win the French Open, and after surviving some tight matches along the way, win he did!
It's time to look forward to grass season in a couple of days. I suppose it would be asking for too much to hope for #15 right away, but you know who I will be rooting for if he gets to another Grand Slam final =)
