He is very attractive, but his tennis ability is amazing! The thing is
though, he has the potential and talent to beat roger federer in every
match, and he could be very well #1 just like he was in 2000. But the
thing is, he thinks tennis is not the only thing in the world, he
wants to be a normal 25 yr old bachelor. go to parties, and meet
ladies. Thats what makes him such a better person. He doesnt just
breathe tennis everytime like Federer. He's got so much talent and
VERY good looks I might add. And I look up to him, because I'm also a
person that just explodes at any moment. I'm trying to work it out,
just like he is, and hopefully together the both of us can overcome
that huge hurdle!! LOL!
