If you can believe it, another spectacular sunday has gone in a flash. There's no better way to spend it than by waking up early to run some errands with your parents. Forced to get up at 5 in the morning, I sleepily ate breakfast while watching some early morning Australian Open tennis. Thats when I spilled my frosted flakes all over my pants to see that Tipsarevic, a relatively unknown player, was taking Roger Federer to an epic fifth set. BLIMY! In one rally, Federer pulled Tipsy (as I like to call him) off the court, forcing Tipsy to hit a lightning fast and hard forehand shot. Trying to block the shot, Federer merely stuck his racket in from off his body, and blocked the ball back, making it zoom at an equal velocity to what Tipsy hit it with. Because Federer is beyond human, he didn't have to dodge, but merely stood there and took it like a man. The commentator yelled "How did He (important to capitalize when referring to Federer because he's God-like) do that?!". I was dumbfounded. Thats when the good old physics epiphany occured, and Aussie DOC! appeared. "Gooday Mate!" He said to me. I asked him how in the world Fed did that. Aussie DOC! merely chuckled at me, and said three words the entire day. "Newton's Third Law!"
. Why of course. For every action, theres another thats equal and opposite! Though Tipsy may have provided the force, all God-like Fed had to do was provide a wall, and the ball would travel with equal speed in the opposite direction. Brilliant I say. Federer must've taken physics from DOC! to know how to pull off that shot. Lesson of the week: Tennis makes you have superhuman abilities like The Fed (again, capitalization is key for his name). DOC! if you're reading this, it's probably cause I'm using the force (without contact) on you.
