woo-hoo!

What happened to Federer and what is behind this new "woo-hoo" thing?
He did it once against Nalbandian and twice against Nadal.
Is he becoming another Blake?

Big difference between a couple of "woo hoo"s and a couple of dozen "Way too
good"s.

Yeah he's becoming a regular kiss-ass on tour. That's the problem with Nadal
these days, everyone allows him to run away with it. Roger and Co are his
personal bitches.

Of course it's not techically possible to be another Blake. That would
require subtracting 12 slams and many other big titles.

It's not really Fed's style to applaud the opponent. He was probably being
sarcastic or annoyed that he got out-manoeuvered:

"Rafael Nadal likes to constantly remind himself of his desire to win, and
that fits his never-let-a-point-go approach; Federer floats closer to the
mental surface. He'll strolls around the court casually, smiles at anything
amusing, throws out a sarcastic "whoo-hoo" after a bad miss."

It really doesn't sound like that at all. I think it was just an
acknowledgement, but not quite applause, that after a long point he was
out-manoeuvered, or perhaps that he had made a mistake and Nadal took full
advantage of it. I thought it indicated that he was enjoying the contest.
