I Stand By Roger: Flight of the Golden Eagle of Victory

Colin

Professional
The Year After

Eagle-hearted souls, it’s been a long, lonely year.
Now Rublev, Rune and Ruud are headlining Laver Cup. Oh, dear.
Last September, Roger, you bid farewell with Rafa at your side —
The ashen, funereal court saturated with all the tears he cried.
The camaraderie was inspiring, your tennis still bled art,
All foiled in the end by the betrayal of an insipid body part.
It’s now clear, Roger, that Rafa will be following you out the door.
And, despite that, the past year has proved a crushing bore.
Where once your arsenal of shots inspired feats of magic,
We’re left with Fritz, Medvedev and Zverev. Tragic!

Roger, I hope you’re enjoying the skiing and plates of Barilla
As you watch these U.S. Open matches blander than vanilla.
No Del Potro return in New York to soothe my weary soul,
And it’s yet another Thiem injury taking a distressing toll.
Yes, Djere tried his very best, but we saw his spirit break.
Even the heartiest warrior is no match for a bathroom break.
So now it’s a show of watch Novak robotically return the ball.
Carlos, please turn off the batteries and save us all.
Better yet, Roger, pretend you had a baby. Yes, it’s a bit wacky.
But you can just come back and win. It worked for Wozniacki.
