ROGER FEDERER V RAFAEL NADAL 2017

ROGER FEDERER won his 18^th Title at the 2017 AUSTRALIAN OPEN FINAL in MELBOURNE. 

With the loss of top seeds NOVAK DJOKOVIC and ANDY MURRAY (who were pathetic), the door was opened for a new champion to be crowned. It was a moment for a noughties throwback when ROGER and RAFA loved playing each other.

The womens' game was dominated by the loss of major tennis players MARIA SHARAPOVA, PETRA KVITOVA, VICTORIA AZARENKA et al. The other contenders cancelled out each other through the rounds to leave the door wide open for SERENA WILLIAMS to win her 23^rdtitle with the help of sister VENUS WILLIAMS.

Roger Federer was seeded 17th in the year of 2017 at the AUSTRALIAN OPEN in MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

The score was 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 (44 games, 24 to Fed, 20 to Nadal over 5 sets)

44 games divided by 5 sets is an average of 8.8 games (9),

The name ROGER FEDERER means RED FEATHERER, and he represents SWITZERLAND (151 Std or 52 Pythagoras) (SISTERLAND or WHITELAND) which is a reference to ISIS of EGYPT.

The SWISS FLAG is a WHITE CROSS on a RED background.

The number 18 is a mirror of 81, FEDERER's birth year.

FEDERER wins his 18^th title presented by 'ROCKET' ROD LAVER (his hero) at the age of 35 years, 5 months and 22 days (12,959 days, 311,016 hours, 18,660,960 minutes, 432 months)

The match took 3hrs 35 minutes to complete (just over 3 and a half hours (3:3)

His wife MIROSLAVA (MIRKA) gave birth to 2 pairs of TWINS, one pair of BOYS and one pair of GIRLS (what is the probability of that happening?)

ROGER FEDERER becomes the 5^th most successful title winner in the modern era of tennis with recent women's tennis champion SERENA WILLIAMS standing at the top with 23 titles (1 behind MARGARET COURT)

ROGER FEDERER's logo is RF (initials)

R is 18 in Standard English, F is 6

R+F = 18/6 or 186 which is the assumed speed of light

R+F is also 9 + 6 or 96

96 is the number of FREEMASON (96)

Between them, ROGER FEDERER, RAFAEL NADAL and NOVAK DJOKOVIC have now won 44 MAJOR titles.

FEDERER, 18,

NADAL,14

DJOKOVIC,12,

CONCLUSION

ROGER FEDERER is a great (rich) champion of the sport of TENNIS.

Both he and RAFA suffered an ANNUS TERRIBILIS for 2016 with long bouts out of the game due to injury.

ROGER looked very good through the rounds while other contenders stumbled or neutralised each other in match ups.

RAFA, despite his skill and talent had done extremely well to reach a major final for such a long time out of the game with injury.

ROGER probably was the right man to win the final because of his talent through the rounds. RAFA should be proud to have reached the final.

If either player's form dropped, it would have opened the door for the other to win. ROGER needed to play winners, serve well and show something different to his long time rival.

RAFA probably needed to be more adaptable to the FEDERER game as RAFA likes to conduct all sorts of unnecessary magic on the ball.

ROGER played only 13 hours on court prior this final, RAFA played 19. Despite RAFA's younger age to ROGER by 5 years, the master plied his trade to perfection against a very dangerous opponent.

ROGER showed more vulnerabilities at the ripe old age of 35 which was to be expected, but his body held out to lift the trophy for the 5^th time in his long career.

ARRRGHHHH ?!?! (Sob, sob) what have I done ???

AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2017

The Australian Open has changed its logo

This is the OLD logo used for the AUSTRALIAN OPEN Tennis Championships for many years.

AUSTRALIAN OPEN is 166 Std English or 58 Pythagoras. 52 Chaldean.

JANUARY is 90 Std English or 27 Pythagoras,17 Chaldean

AUSTRALIAN OPEN + JANUARY is 256 Std, 85 Pythagoras, 69 Chaldean

The NEW  logo is this

It shows two letters, The letter on the left represents the letter -A- and the other letter is -O-

The A can also be described as an inverted letter -V-.

Together they represent A for ALPHA and O for OMEGA (Greek Alphabet)

(Revelation: Ch 22. V. 13)

A+O is 17 Std English, 7 Pythagoras, 8 Chaldean.

V +O is 37 Std, 10 Pythagoras, 13 Chaldean.

The letters can also represent the  TRIANGLE and CIRCLE or the PYRAMID and EYE

This year's finalists could be filled with 4 OLD TIMERS in the form of VENUS WILLIAMS, SERENA WILLIAMS, ROGER FEDERER and RAFAEL NADAL.

Those 4 names combined sum up to 538 in Std English and 232 in Pythagorean Gematria.

The 232 number shows up once more through the AUSTRALIAN OPEN in MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.

GRIGOR DIMITROV in NADAL's place creates a different number, although it is still possible for the BULGARIAN to reach the final to face ROGER FEDERER.

ROGER FEDERER of course has won 17 MAJOR titles to date, his last MAJOR was achieved about 5 years ago. He has won 4 titles from 5 final attempts at the AUSTRALIAN OPEN.

RAFAEL NADAL is back in form after a poor year 2016 with injury and he lost his long streak of wins at the FRENCH OPEN.

I find it unusual that these 4 VETERANS of Professional Tennis are once again in MAJOR FINALS at MELBOURNE.

Maybe they have done something to the courts to make them play slower or faster but with the loss of world numbers 1 and 2 in the Men's game (DJOKOVIC and MURRAY) the game was open for a new player to come through and win like RAONIC, ZVEREV, TOMIC, DIMITROV.

3 of the four finalists are over 35 years of age but the modern fitness regime for players has finally caught up with the rigors of modern tennis.

It will be interesting to see the Tranny sisters in action on Saturday as well as girly Federer aiming to get out of the rut of 17 titles (in the year of 2017) to try and win his 18th.

Just like the 18th hole in GOLF, the 18th title may prove to be his toughest test of all.
