tennis puyatan

I was never a fan of Sharapova, but the way she plays and her attitude on the court you can't help but admire her. She lost on the 4th round to her co-russian Safina. Wow! it's already so late at night, the game has even stopped for a while because of the rain at Roland Garros, France mega wait pa rin kami sa pag resume ng game. Sharapova won the 1st set at 7-6. On the 2nd set I thought Safina will lose the battle at score went to 5-2 in favor of Sharapova, of course. But Safina keeps on going. Safina is so strong, physically and mentally. She is very focused. She never gives up. Finally she got the 2nd set at the score of 7-6. 3rd set, decision, whew! coffee break muna kami ni daddy. As we got back on our couch with our coffee we cannot take our eyes off the tv as you cannot afford to miss a single shot both players are throwing to each other. Sharapova's scream as usual, is all over the court. The score reaches to 5-2 in favor of Safina, Sharapova's serve. I knew then that it will be Safina's game as Sharapova started mumbling before it reaches that point. She did it! Safina the number 13 seed defeated the no. 1 seed on the 4th round. Worth ang puyat, as this is the kind of game i will surely watch over and over again. Thanks to astromax i can now record the programs i want. Will keep you posted........

french open

yebah! French open has started. I started watching tennis during the days of Agassi, I was not particularly into tennis but into Agassi (LOL). Everybody was so crazy about him, his long hair, the neon color wrist bands, head bands, his looks, everything. I was a big fan. Then I got over it and i just started watching tennis again here in Malaysia, when my husband started playing it and talking about it all the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmeeeeeee. In fairness to my husband, he is very good at it. I guess if he had given a chance and he started while he was young he can excel on it. Everytime there is a tournament, my H/P is so busy sending SMS of each others views with my tennis-fan pal Ana. Who will win this time? I'll keep you posted.

nadal won again on clay

Just finished watching the Tennis Game held at Hamburg tonight. It was a match worth having a late sleep on a Sunday night. I was never a Nadal fan nor a Federer, the Lord of Tennis as they say. I heard of Nadal being so great at clay, and Federer the number one tennis player hasn't beat Nadal on clay yet gave me more the excitement to watch the match. First set won by Nadal. I started losing hope as the score reached to 5-1 in favor of Federer. Hey, how can you recover on that score when on the other side of the court is the number 1 in the world? First time i saw Federer, well since i got an interest watching tennis, that i saw his face with great frustration. Nadal was unstoppable, the score ended at 7-5 on 1st set. 2nd set, the score reached 5-2 in favor of Federer, but Nadal has tied the score at 5-5 until Federer won the 2nd set at 7-5. Decision set, Nadal had taken the lead, i know right there and then that he will get the title, and he did! Will they meet again on the finals of French Open? Let's wait and see.
