Not at all. It's more like rooting for Tiger Woods than anything. Roger Federer does not at all remind me of an evil racist empire whose subjects are a bunch of mouth-breathing troglodytes. What makes Roger even more of a man than Tiger is that Federer is a man of complete class. Humble and non-assuming. There's not one thing that is unlikable about him, in my opinion.

Federer is definitely a joy to watch. His creative shot making has left Johnny McEnroe speechless on numerous occasions and that's no small feat!😲

Federer's humility is mixed with a fair dose of self-confidence. Not arrogant or cocky, just quite sure of himself. It makes for some interesting sound bites!

Roddick and Blake are gone! I'd hoped both would do a bit better, perhaps the 3rd round or so. Karlovic, the player who knocked off Blake, has a MONSTER serve, even on clay!
With all the Americans gone, I am rooting for the Fed. On the ladies side I would love to see a Serena vrs Henin showdown (though I think that would happen in the quarterfinals).
