Birthday poems: winners

Dear Fans

Thank you for all the poems you created for Roger's birthday. The number of entries we received (almost 2'000) is simply overwhelming! It took us some time to read them all and it was extremely hard to decide which ones are best. Here are the winners:

____________________________________

1st place:
(Wins a pair of Roger's original shoes, autographed)

On this day the stars collided
And fell to earth with grace
The "King" of tennis courts was born
The very Greatest Ace

If I had a crystal tennis ball
I know that I would see
A Happy 30th Birthday for you
And Grand Slam 17!!!


By Claudia C.

2nd place:
(Wins an autographed bag)

30-0
C'est le milieu d'un jeu, un bon score, un bel âge,
Et Roger Federer peut prendre l'avantage.
Que ce soit au tennis, dans la vie ou ailleurs,
C'est une année de plus qui te rendra meilleur.

Come On ! et champagne ! Cher Monsieur Federer,
Je te dis simplement: joyeux anniversaire !

A birthday poem?—I thought I’d PASS
I’ve turned my brain INSIDE OUT
Jot DOWN THE LINE or up the ALLEY
FOREHAND, BACKHAND—can’t get the SPIN
Take a SHOT… or DROP SHOT
LOB or SMASH – perhaps a SLICE (of cake?)
It’s Roger’s birthday—SERVE IT UP!
30 LOVE!
