It is not inhuman. It shows that you should keep trying till the end. I wasn't judging Federer in the post. I was reiterating <em>any thing can happen in sport</em>. I disagree. It is not inhuman.

Ture, Federer has oft shown his "human" side, but judging him from his performance at Halle merely days after he got out of the gruelling conditions of clay is a little unfair - re-adjusting to grass is a herculean effort in itself; and winning a grass-court tournament a week after making it to the finals of a clay-court slam is superhuman!
