[Vision2020] Church equals business

[Larson Hicks]

I've been meaning to post on this, but haven't had the time.  I didn't get
to watch the match, but a friend video taped it for me, so I'll have more to
talk about soon, but just thought I'd let everyone know that the perfect
Federer got smoked by Nadal! This is the 6th time that Nadal has beat
Federer, who is still ranked number one for the 124th week running (3rd
longest EVER).  This was Nadal's 60th straight victory on clay.
Frank DeFord mentioned that Tiger Woods doesn't have the respect that he
could because his competition is so far beneath him.  Federer, on the other
hand, has legitimate competition in Nadal, and therefore, has proven his
right to be number 1.  I don't think Nadal's speed is going to translate
onto the grass at Wimbelton the same way Federer's or even Lleyton Hewitt's
(my favorite) will, so I don't expect to see him in the finals there.
What's fun about this all is that every time Nadal and Federer meet on clay,
we get to see the greatest tennis player ever (perhaps) challenged by a true
master of the clay court.
I can't wait to watch the match and I'm really looking forward to Wimbelton!
Cheers!
