Tomic is no different to many of the young tennis players. He is very talented and brash. If you don't have these qualities and real confidence in yourself you can't succeed at this level. While I expected Federer to win I would like to have seen Tomic close out the second set.

However I have tickets to the finals at the end of the week and will be travelling to Melbourne and Federer is our idol and we wan't to see him against Djokovic or Murray in the final.

Hating a sports person that you only know from Media attention and not personally is rather childish.

PS While I am not a tennis fan or player about 15 years ago I practiced receiving missiles served by a young tennis pro. The first three serves knocked the racket right out of my hand. After that I found two hands wielded like a club could just stop the ball! B.G
