Even though I'm neutral toward Djokovic, I can understand you
disliking him not wanting him to win. But what I can't understand is
you seeing Rafa as the next best thing to Federer winning. The idea of
actually taking pleasure in seeing the howler monkey lift the trophy
again and his dimwitted fans here crowing about it afterward. Why is
there a distinction between the things Rafa does and what he is, while
with Djokovic it is one and the same? So Djokovic is beneath contempt
now for tanking, but because Rafa has indomitable competitive spirit,
it doesn't matter that he shamelessly breaks the rules, uses dirty
gamesmanship, and indulges in entitled whining about everything that
doesn't go just the way he wants it to.
This "Fedal fan" thing is unacceptable, even indecent, because it
tries to meld two things that are mutually exclusive. If you spoke
such heresy in the Middle Ages, they would have used a scourge to help
you see the light. Now those were the good old days.
