Lovely! Absolutely lovely! Watched TV after a very long time and it was worth a watch. French Open finals. Missed the first set and half and I cribbed big time for that. But, sat through and watched the half and third set, all the while willing Nadal to win the match. And, boy, did he win!
Roger Federer, the unconquered king of tennis vs Rafael Nadal, the undisputed clay court champion. It was a match with uneven bets. Federer has his set of armoury and Nadal his and it is always fascinating, when these two contested against each other. Today, Federer, master of his destiny, seemed a mere spectator to the splendour and the grandeur of Nadal’s display and it was worth a watch. Since it is one Roger Federer at the other end, it is not a great match to watch, but painfully glee, if one can understand the feeling. And since Nadal has won with his splendid display of clay court mastery, let me just celebrate it by paying a tribute to the hero.
What started of as a match between equals, went on to be a one sided affair. And the humiliation was complete with Nadal winning the last set 6-0. The ease with which he cornered Federer was worth a watch. And I dare say that the God of tennis seemed all of a sudden human!
Since, I could not watch the entire match, I cannot, but put in raw feelings and I am darn sorry for myself that I missed it out!
