OMG! I've just caught the gentlemen's semi-finals on TV and... it's the DREAM FINAL one more time at a Grand Slam. Yayyy.
Couldn't have been any better: Roger v Rafa, this time on grass instead of on clay.
Furthermore, the semis were something to watch, too...
Roger Federer v Jonas Bjorkman: 6 2, 6 0, 6 2
Well. It was soooo one-sided that one can almost hear the crowd was
crying out for some action. A semi is a semi no matter one-sided it was, though. Many good shots, thousands of winners by Roger and many actions around the net by Bjorkman. Nevertheless, the match was a clear display of how genius Roger is. Roger was playing on a different level compared to Bjorkman.
Rafael Nadal v Marcos Baghdatis: 6 1, 7 5, 6 3
Hmm, the scores above actually don't quite reflect what really happened on court. It was a nicer match to watch than the other semi, bcoz it is the two players are much less one-sided. At some points, Rafa was threatened by breakpoints by Baghdatis, though sadly Bagh couldn't get it done properly. This match shows that Rafa is really a strong player: physically yes (just look at all those muscles..), but more importantly: mentally.
I'm glad Rafa's in the finals, tho'. The underrated No. 2 Seed! People thought he's a clay man. Who would have known that
he, instead of
Hewitt/Roddick will be in the finals (I mean, Roger's place in the final was set right from the start of the championships...). Now the head-to-head trend is 6-1 for Rafa, high-time for Roger to reverse the trend, but, yeah, once again, that mental power that Rafa has is going to be the wall to overcome.
Whoever wins, I'd be happy anyway. Two of my favourite players. One becoz of his personality and another because of his motivation.
On the ladies' side, I'd rather Mauresmo win, but I think Henin-Hardenne is much stronger yeah?
Erm.. now I'm deep in thought on
how to watch tennis matches while I am in Singapore. Suggestions, people? Coz I'm addicted to this stuff!
Btw, I bought a new laptop! :D
Wide-screen, duo processor, crystalbrite. Nice! And quite cheap, too...
