Fellow Federer fans

Last night I attended a get-together with my high school classmates for the first time in nearly four years. As expected the conversation was typically about our jobs, children (among those who were married of course) and how to get in touch with our other classmates. That's when I found that some of my classmates, who get together to play tennis regularly, were Federer fans like me. And what's more, some were even much more fanatic followers than I ever had been: while I was merely disappointed when Federer lost to Nadal in Wimbledon, one of them got so depressed she couldn't sleep for a couple of days and even had her hair cut short to give vent to her feelings.
