Tennis is not only about Roger Federer or Rafa Nadal.
A final without the two top stars, I know, a lot of people would say this final is not worth watching, but
Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic showcased world-class skill here tonight!
We should be happy that tennis is not again dominated by two players, this makes tennis even more exciting!
Back to 2011 final!
~The excitement~I'm supporting Novak today~
In the first set, the games were intense, impressive forehand and backhand serves! I deeply enjoyed their longest rally of 38 shots! But there were many unforced errors by both of them. Novak owned it 6-4 at the end. In the second set, Novak totally dominated the game. I guess every Murray fan is wondering. "WHAT's wrong with MuRRAY?" when Novak led 5-0. I started to cheer for Murray unconsciously,"Come on Murray, showed us your true talent like how you demolished Ferrer! " I wanna see a more exciting rally between them! Murray got it back 5-2, but Novak just proved too strong for Murray, Nole owned the game 6-2. Third set, Murray seemed to out of energy and inspiration where he continued to make errors, Djokovic won the set 6-3. SO, NOVAK won the grand slam!!! What i hope really come true! My most fav tennis player won the grand slam!I'm happy that he won.
Yet the level of happiness was so different when Novak won:
Quarterfinal: Happiest
Semi-final: Very Happy
Final: Happy
Supposed to be the happiest for the final! Maybe because I watched it live for the quarterfinal at Rod Laver! Just feels great and the opponent is not among my fav tennis players. Watch the semi on TV, thus the level of happiness drops a bit, but still, because I cant believe my eyes that Novak played so well against Federer (my second fav player), I feel very happy when he won! *looking at Novak with very impressed look*. This final,
erm, i feel really sad for Murray, thus it cancels out my high level excitement of seeing Novak winning. If Andy has more time to rest, maybe he would have put out a better performance? If the English press has not been putting so much pressure on him, saying tat he would be the first-ever English man to win a grand slam, he would have played better? If he has received a grand slam before, I could have felt happier???
Never mind, I just wanna say:
Djokovic, Congrats! You deserve it! I'm proud of you!! your second grand slam! You are improving so damn well! I hope you can move up the ladder very very soon! No.1 spot in the near future? Prove to people that you are not weak at all, you are not a djok, but Novak Djokovic!
Murray, Don't give up. Today you might have lost the perfect chance to win a grand slam, it's okay, just keep working harder, you are very near to receiving your first-ever grand slam! Tomorrow, you might win it! You have great aces! *smile* You have my support!
