Get On The FeDal Train

It seems to be very popular nowadays.
That man, Roger Federer, was a cold-blooded tennis ninja, destroying all who dared to cross him across a net. Federer won his first major, Wimbledon, in 2003, less than a year after Sampras retired.

After that, his resume reads like Wilt Chamberlain at a women’s retreat: if there was a conquest to be made, he made it.

He's got five Wimbledons to his credit, five U.S. Opens, three Australian opens, and has reached three French Open Finals. He has 13 majors, one short of Sampras' record 14 titles, which for many years he seemed destined not just to break, but to shatter.

But then, a Spaniard in sleeveless shirts and capri-pants came along. Rafael Nadal's will to win is as great as Federer's, and he has earned six Grand Slam titles.

Did they really just use a ninja/pirate comparison of the Fed/Rafa rivalry? Yes they did. And I had to post an article about tennis that does that.
