I've been following Australian Open recently and watched the coverage of the semifinal between Murray and Cilic today. At the same time I thought what will happen in the other semifinal between Federer and Tsonga tomorrow.

At this level most of the matches are won by the player psychology. Not by his tennis skills. Sure the skills play a role when the time comes to hit certain trick shot, or to catch a tough ball. But the outcome comes from what happens in players' minds.

All this mental pressure. All these guys being so serious. Is it for the money ? Is it for the glory ? Is it for the victory ? Sure its different for each player but in the end it's just a game.

When I thought about all this a curious question came to my mind.

Hey Roger, what if I give you the tournament prize before it starts ? I would just ask you to play for fun. To show us the best of your bag of tricks.

How do you think, will we enjoy the game more ? Will Federer still be able to win ? ...
