Another first

Roger Federer became the first man to win 10 titles in 3 consecutive years after taking the Madrid Masters. I love this guy. First of all, I think that he is just too damn adorable. He has to be one of the nicest and least cocky pro players out there at the moment. Not only that but he is an amazing tennis player. I would love to meet him someday, of course my crush on him would probably prevent anything even remotely coherent or intelligent from leaving my mouth, but who cares.

I absolutely love tennis. My dad got me hooked when I was younger. I remember sitting for hours watching the ball go back and forth, attempting to learn all the rules. Everything makes sense one you spend a little time in the sport, but in the beginning I remember thinking, who in the hell keeps score by counting 15, 30, 40?

I have plans in the future to go to all the grand slam tournaments in person. I was in England this summer while Wimbledon was going on, but didn't make it to the All England Club. Definitely in the future though. My only regret is that by the time I finish residency and fellowship and actually have time to go to these events, all my current favorites could very well be retired. I can always fantasize that I will someday meet Roger though.
