The ideal tennis tournament, for me, would end with Roger Federer winning the men’s title and Agnieszka Radwanska winning the women’s. The recently completed Australian Open came close, as Federer won his 20th grand slam title and Caroline Wozniacki, a Dane whose parents are Polish, won her first. In accepting her trophy, Wozniacki said she never cries (her voice suggested she was on the verge), and ended by thanking her agent. “Perhaps now I’ll finally get that Elle cover,” she said. One day later Federer, for whom this should be old hat, broke down in tears. This is partly why, no matter how often he wins, people hate to see him lose.
