Federer and Tiger

This week in sports marks a giant one! Roger Federer and Tiger Woods make there returns to their sports (again). The last time they suited up was in a loss. Federer lost to Nadal in 5 sets at the Australian Open, moving Nadal within one Grand Slam away from the Career Grand Slam. Tiger loss to a scruffy Penguin-looking Tim Clark at the WGC - Championship in Arizona. These two athletes transcend there sport and while they are considered by all, as one of the best in tennis and golf, only time determine if they are the best (and it will happen). For all of you that don't know much about these guys, think of them as the Florentino Ariza (Love in the Time of Cholera - movie) of their sports.

At this time in both Federer and Woods career their dominance is declining, while Federer has already lost his No. 1 ranking, Woods is on the cusp of losing his No. 1 ranking to Sergio Garcia. This week is not only a chance to see these once in a lifetime athletes compete once again, but it's a good indication of what is to come. Both are master at winning and clearly know what it takes to get it done, but will they? A bad week means, not winning, and as Federer weeped at the Australian open, we can only imagine what it must feel like for Tiger not to win.

You're probably thinking, "Who cares," these athletes are pop culture guys that...they don't mean much. For most of you, you probably have no clue who Jack Nicklaus or Pete Sampras is, but just think....Federer and Tiger aren't just once in a decade athletes, they're once in a FOREVER!
