"Roger Federer as Religious Experience"

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.
