Federer's dream run at Australian Open & Wimbledon 2017

"Pursue excellence and success will automatically pursue you" - this is a loose translation of a dialogue from the famous Bollywood hit '3 Idiots' wherein the protagonist makes this statement while explaining his life philosophy. Roger Federer is an epitome of this philosophy. As an avid fan of his exploits on the tennis court, his success at the Oz open and that too against his arch nemesis Rafael Nadal was the stuff of legends. Given below is a link to an article from New York times that elaborates on this win and why it is so special for Federer and his legions of fans across the globe.

P.S. I had to update this article since Federer went on to win the 2017 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final against Marin Cilic. Compared to the Australian Open though, this match at Wimbledon was more one-sided I think.
