Man, wasn't satisfied with just one so I came back for another. No, I am not talking about Lays but blogs.
Returning to the theme of the last one, the Australian Open saw a new winner in Rafael Nadal, who beat Roger Federer in the final which was once again a tennis epic. These two-should I call them players or supermen-have fought like true warriors on the tennis court whenever they met. But seeing Federer's recent record against Nadal in the last year or so, what with the loss at Wimbledon
and now this on a hardcourt, it makes one wonder whether Federer has got an unspoken apprehension of Nadal or he is truly better than Federer even on fast courts.
The sensational news was Federer's crying when he was asked to speak. It showed how much this title would have meant to him. He still showed his gentlemanship by speaking ahead of Nadal, while still in tears, letting Nadal have the final word. One has to marvel at Nadal's fitness who played the 4-hr+ final right after a 5-hr semi-final. His intent of chasing down impossible balls was as active as ever and that got him through.
All of us hope that this rivalry, probably one of the greatest in sporting history continues. Let us remain in wait of the day when Federer will win his record-equalling 14th Grand Slam title.
