Meltdown of the Week

Finding Roger Federer Meltdown footage on YouTube is like finding a seat on the Number 4 Lexington Avenue subway at 9:30 in the morning. [Non-New Yorkers, take note: it's rare.] The Greatest of All Time usually deals with blown shots by dragging his middle finger across his forehead and tucking his hair behind his ear. Not this time. This was a semi-final match with Novak Djokovic at the 2009 Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, Florida. Djokovic just broke Fed in the third and deciding set and was up 15-0 when the Greatest of All Time took his eyes off a routine approach shot that could have evened the score. Federer went through lots of racquets when he was playing the junior circuit; wonder if he felt a little wave of nostalgia upon banging this one hard into the court.

The bubble has been removed at the Prospect Park Tennis Center. The courts sport a new layer of Hard-Tru. The sun is blinding. I'm working up a sweat just looking at these courts under a noon sun.

Ah, tennis in the Great Outdoors!

Wow, the courts are EMPTY. Everyone must be at the Great GoogaMooga food and music festival across the street in Prospect Park.

That's where I'm headed.

Yep, in this instance, I'm choosing fois gras donuts from Do or Dine over tennis.
