Exactly... If Federer is an Indian. Most of the sports column in Indian newspaper on Monday would have carried titles similar to
- Federer should Retire.
- Federer has past his prime. He should play in domestic tournaments.
- Federer is on the wrong side of 20. He should work on his fitness.
- Federer should quit Tennis. He can make a good career in Bollywood.
- Nadal vitta savaal. Federer mugathil terror.
In my humble opinion, Indian media always works in the extreme. Either they praise someone to sky level or thrash them like anything. I still cannot forget the article which claimed Raina as the next Tendulkar just after Raina made a match winning fifty. He wasn't even 20 matches old then. There is a long list like this. let me stop here.
