Somebody sent me this collection of Federer highlights in memory of the great David Foster Wallace, who took his own life last friday. Wallace once wrote a piece about tennis and philosophy, titled "Roger Federer as Religious Experience," and somebody tried to capture the idea in this video. I think they did a pretty good job. The combination of grace, force, angle, the body in motion, with the spirited commentary and classical music really bring some weight to this. Whether you're a tennis fan or not, it is enjoyable.
