Roger Federer lost again. That's not a good sign. As much as I always hoped for someone to take him down, to see him fall so rapidly is shocking and upsetting. I think I always wanted him challenged, but I didn't want to see him dethroned. Maybe it's a momentary lag--there's still the Olympics and the US Open. Maybe this is just a little window to let people know they shouldn't be taking him for granted. It's strange seeing how even the most holy of us can fall without warning. But that's the price for scaling higher than everyone else.
I guess it's hard being witness to someone's mortality when he seemed so immortal. It reminds me that if the greatest can fall, anyone can follow.
