good to see a nobody go so far in a major … i’m a federer fan who respects nadal, but i also love djokovic, so i have lots of skin in this game (tourney) … that said, it would b great to see a jewish player establish himself as a leading tennis player … hopefully, there would b no anti-semitic backlash, and i hope he conducts himself well
