I realize I'm updating far more often nowadays. :D After today, though, I'm afraid this blog's gonna go back to comatose state for some time.
Henin totally trashed Ivanovic! 6-1, 6-2 (or was it the other way round?). Well, it was expected anyway. Remember I said sure win for Henin? Ivanovic can't hold a candle to her. So now she's been hailed queen of clay, and rightly so, cos that's her third consecutive Roland Garros title, as well as her fourth in five years. Really, she has no true rival yet.
Anyway, today's men's finals! Nadal vs Federer. Rafa fought through the semis against Djokovic 7-5 6-4 6-2. Ok, first set was seriously nerve-wrecking. More clawing and self-destruction from yours truly. Fine, Djokovic was really good, I admit. His service is really powerful. Rafa had to struggle to break him. But most of the time, Djoker held his serve. But at least Rafa held his too! Yeah, so I managed to watch only the first two sets, cos the Federer-Davydenko match took so freaking long (three hours!) that the Nadal-Djokovic one was delayed. Meaning that after two sets, it was about 1 a.m.? Ok, so that isn't exactly late when compared with the sleeping hours of night owls Dr Idiot, Insane and Dustbin, but for me, it really is. Not that I minded though. My mum, however, was yelling and shouting about my staying up so late, and promptly attacked the TV with the remote control. Despite my whining and protests, she hauled me off to bed. Actually, I stayed up till two to watch the Nadal-Hewitt match, and I was trying to use that as persuasion to assure my mum that I could take staying up for the last set (hopefully it would be!), but didn't work. Awww. Anyway, no sweat, cos Rafa trashed the Djoker in the last set 6-2.
FINALLLLLLLS TONIGHT! Crap, I'm so nervous. Ok, let's look at this rationally. If Davydenko could have led in all three sets against Federer, then surely the prince of clay can. And Davydenko only let Federer claw back up to a win cos he was the underdog, and wasn't used to being in the lead, or so my dad the expert says. But the prince is the double defending champion, hello, he's used to leading and winning. And he's certainly not the underdog. So he WON'T let Federer claw back up. He's not the type who'll lose his lead. Soooooo......straight set win for Rafa oh yeah! VAMOS RAFA!
