But the hour glass of time vanquished, has Great Britain in the 24 year old Scot’s pumping adrenalin and hunger finally bringing home the gold since those 1936 "Fred Perry" longings.
The moral of the story is that in Wimbledon’s humbling defeat, their lies a straight set conquest, the Swiss Federer, relinguishing the "gold" but not his 17 grand slams as the greatest compete court player of this century and of all time.

By hiring Ivan Lendl as his coach, the Scotchman’s hunger grew extra dimensional, Lendl a steadying power over the waning 20th century. Czechoslovakia has engendered all court players
since the Fred Perry 1936 yesterdays.
"Didn’t Joel take lessons from Kossalow in Scarsdale in the aftermath of his bullying syndrome...fastest kid in the 60 yard dash, identifying with George Washington("the father of our country"), the Bensonhurst Booty Jr High senior play."
"What more worlds were there to conquer....except himself," said Kristalball.

The Scotchman no longer has Federer as his model. Identifying with his hero and the classic complete game of his coach .... Jack Kramer, Pancho Gonzales ("complete power") Ted Schroeder. (+a refrigeration engineer")
"The other side of Murray’s achievement is he maturation and evolution. His mother and father divorced, a God like surrogate taking over, planting the seed of love and support. The constancy

Didn’t"Frank Parker’s search for his father coach, Mercer Beasley, then when they split, he married the coach’s wife and mother.",said Friedman into his own Freudian tonic, going back to Herby Titman’s clay courts at Utica&Church
Then Jake Javitz before he became a New York United States Senator, stroking balls with Harry...oh what’s his last name? Help me help me, Kristalball?
"Harry Dismond, you going senile? Harry was the clarinet playing cop. He taught Criminology Van Nuysat Valley Community College during the 70's ," said Friedman. "Julie Raskin, his
brother Tubby, were of the mix.
" Joel re stringing racquets for Herby. Lefty Goldstein grooving" his steady game at the baseline."

Seventy six years since dapper Fed Perry in his amateur status, amateurs could not play for a anything but purees. The game’s reality was like "Chariot of the Fre". All sport at Cambridge. No money passing except at the bookmakers in London or Lost Wages.

The Fred Perry life line comes to a close. His dashing handsomeness, wearing those white flannels. Trading in his reputation to sell clothes, bearing the famed Fred Perry line, comparable to the Southern Californian ranked woman Gussie Moran who traded in her racquet for her
white panties and blouse. Gussie Moran line*******
Hail the 24 year old lad from the village, outside Edinborough . May his hunger and flame continue to burn brightly as Roger Federer’s, in the galaxy of time vanguished....Fine tuning human existence ‘.
