I choke when the Djokers name is mentioned the same time Aggassi’s name is used. The Djoker willo never reacdh the “class” that Aggassi has. Djoker is a joke and classless!!!!! tell him this.
Does anyone remember Marat Safin, “….I am relieved to be out. The
PRESSURE, oh the pressure….” Am I correct in thinking, what is our
man Federer made of? An inspiration for my daily work.
