At least Daschle didn't bawl like Roger Federer
after he lost the Australian Open.

What was that about?

I've never seen a world class athlete crumble like that - ever. It was so ungracious.

1. Emotions?
I think that's what it was about. Strong emotions.

2. Nope
I think the article hit the nail on the head. The Fed era is over and it just hit him.

3. Yes, and he reacted. Emotionally.
I've seen lots of athletes do the same, especially after big games.

Not sure what's supposed to be so shocking or disgraceful, really.

5. Well the shock on his girlfriends face was enough for me
He was behaving like a six year old. I've never seen Andy Roddick or any of Federer's whipping sticks cry like children. What's more the number of UTube hits for the weeping speaks volumes.

Additionally teams crying after losing a big game is very different from a man who holds 13 grand slams bawling because he lost one. I've never seen anyone else break down like this in tennis.
