Finala dintre Federer si Dimitrov de la Rotterdam (categorie "500") s-a "incheiat" inainte de a incepe cu adevarat. Noul stapan al clasamentului ATP (pozitie pe care va urca de luni), Roger a fost la un nivel mult prea inalt pentru "pamanteanul" Grigor. Elvetianul a "inchiriat" finala de la primele game-uri, meciul curgand intr-o singura directie: spre titlul cu numarul trei de la Rotterdam al lui Fedex (2005, 2012, 2018) si al 97-lea (!) din cariera. Spre dezamagirea spectatorilor care se pregatisera de spectacol, Dimitrov l-a putut tine ocupat pe Federer doar 54 de minute: 6-2, 6-2 in favoarea celui care rescrie istoria tenisului la aproape 37 de ani...
Nici a saptea oara nu a fost cu noroc pentru Dimitrov: ba, dimpotriva, bulgarul si-a "egalat" (cel putin din punct de vedere al scorului) cea mai slaba performanta in meciurile directe cu cel pe care l-a avut drept model in inceputurile carierei. In 2015, la Brisbane, Grigor pierdea cu acelasi scor, 6-2, 6-2, insa cu un minut mai devreme (n.r. 53 de minute) decat a facut-o duminica.
Unii din noi au prins si perioada in care Federer domina cu autoritate in urma cu mai multe sezoane circuitul ATP, insa parca tenisul sau nu a fost niciodata la un nivel atat de ridicat (este cel putin o parere personala).
Elvetianul pare in aceste momente cu adevarat din alt film pentru majoritatea jucatorilor din circuit, lejeritatea cu care-si domina adversarii fiind inspaimantatoare pentru acestia...
Asteptata cu mare interes (se intalneau primii doi favoriti - "afisul" era perfect pentru organizatori), finala de la Rotterdam s-a incheiat practic inainte ca multi dintre cei din tribune sa inteleaga ce s-a intamplat pe teren...A fost cu adevarat un monolog al regelui.
Toata "scena" a fost a lui, si-a spus rolul cu pasiune si concentrare, iar finalul a venit mult prea repede (54 de minute).
Cunoscandu-i "nebunia" cu care cauta perfectiunea, ar trebui sa ne asteptam si la alte reprezentatii din partea Maestrului in urmatoarea perioada: primele ocazii - Indian Wells (7-18 martie) si Miami (20-31 martie), competitii de categorie "Masters" unde in 2017 a reusit "dubla".
