mind game

I repent!! A few post ago, I said I hated wimbledon…totally regretted it! After a few days at home, spending time with the few tennis freaks, it has changed me too! In just less than one week, I’ve learnt so much ‘theory’ about tennis. From the game itself to the players, their history, matches, background.

It was the greatest event last night!

Last night it was the Gentlemen’s Final for Wimbledon 2008 - Federer against Nadal. It was the game of the century! aha…to me,it’s really the only game that makes my heart beat faster and stronger (palpitation). I was accompanying Xuan last night to follow the scores for this match.

It was so close, Nadal won 2 sets and another set, he’ll win Wimbledon. Federer was champion for the past 5 years and there were so many speculations that he wont win because no one has ever won more than 5 times. The game was on and off due to rain and we followed it thru…the scores, yea you heard me, following the scores, not watching the game coz no astro and internet was slow. Not watching the match already gives me palpitation. I have no idea if I watch it, I might get fibrilation or something…ahaha…

For those that follows this, or at least reads the paper, will know that Nadal dethrones Fed with a very close match 4-6, 4-6, 7-6, 7-6, 7-9. OMG!!!!!

Alot was very disappointed but after following the final, it made me realises something, Fed only lose to the game, but throughout the game, he did not give up and that was the best! He pushed on till the last minute, picking up when everyone thinks it’s over, he proved that he is still a great player! I hope he’ll do well in US Open!
