Nadal buried Federrer's dream


Nadal celebrates right after beating Federer

Yeah...it just happened less than 20 hours. I watched d-final match and didn't really expect who's gonna win. However, 99% of me really wanna c Federer to beat Nadal n if he were to beat Nadal, he wud have broken Pete Sampras's 14th Grand Slam title n that's his goal. Who doesn't want to break someone's record, I mean, Hello...u cud have ur name carved or printed in d-Guinness Book World of Record. Errrr...not really break d-record cos if Federer had won d-Australia open, he wud hv a chance to equal Sampras's record only as he already hv 13 titles.

Anyway, from d-start of d-match, Nadal had shown pretty impressive performance n he's quite aggresive. For a moment, I tot he cudn't return d-ball but I was wrong as he hit d-ball hardly n returned d-ball diagonally towards Federer. One thing that I like bout his backhand skill is, he manage to return d-ball in a very strange yet hard to return-it-back angle. I'm very impress with that. In fact, I watched in awe as he doing his stuff on d-court yesterday. He's really fought tooth and nail. Oh yeah bear in mind, a day or two days before he had to play 5 hours n 14 minutes before kicking out his friend/David Cup's team-mate, Fernando Verdasco.

On d-other hand, Federer as always looking calm despite of his mission to beat Nadal in order to get his 14th Grand Slam title. If I were him, I wud hv, at least, had a tension-filled face on me. But of cos, we must remain and act calm n swiftly especially in situation like this where we had to predict our opponents next step and so on.

Last nite match, Federer had many aces against Nadal but it was offset with his unforced error. Eventough his backbone skill which is his one-handed backhand had won him in 2nd n 4th set, unfortunately, in 5th set it didn't work. It seemed like most of d-balls which he returned it back with his famous one-handed backhand didn't give any miracle results.

So, as a result, Nadal won n beats Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6(3), 3-6, 6-2.


he's so disappointed

Oh yah, according to my friend, during d-prize ceremony, Federer was sobbing. I didn't watch d-match until d-giving prize ceremony so I didn't really hv d-idea how it looks. But I can tell how much it means for him to win d-match.
