yes, it has happened

yes, roger has done it and has done it with his signature mark.i doubt if any one might have thought of swiss master kissing the french cup before the tournament started.infact he was no where close to favourate even though he defated nadal at madrid open just few days before the french open.many of the tennis great said nadal is going to be the winner. yes looking at the run nadal had since last year french open to this year, winning french open, Wimbledon, Olympic gold medal then semis at US open and then the australian open, i guess many of us had no doubt at all in him biting the french cup for the 5th consecutive time.but it's tennis and as nadal said if u dont play good tennis, u deserve to lose and one can take no match easy for granted. one has to play best tennis no matter who is on the other side of the net.

federer with the experience on his side had a start that he wanted to. i guess soderling might have been nervous at the beginning, but in the second set, he did play really good, but one can hardly do anything when when federer serves like a bullet(maybe nadal might have done something).the swiss have a early break in the opening of 3rd set and since then there was no looking back for federer.

as federer severes for the championship point at 5-4 and the forehand shot from soderling touched the net, federer kneels down at the court and cries.it was really a great feeling to see him finally get his biggest french title after being defeted in final for 3 consecutive time.well done federer, and also soderling- u did what no one (incl federer ) could do here at roland garros i.e def nadal.the world salutes u federer, for being such a great and gentle ambassador of sports.

french open final

well, roger is still there, no matter what critics say abt him that his time is over or he needs some psychophysical help or whatever,the million dollar answer is that he is still there to win his 14th slam and matched sampras record.looking at the way in which he progressed to the final,some critics may again say that he is not at his top form,2 times he had played a five setter to reach the final.and in both cases he had to come back from close to defeat.now is't that define what a great champion he is?after all that's what a champion does? coming back from edge of defeat, unwilling to give up no matter what. i guess sometimes what counts is not just playing good tennis but a match that leads to victory.

well its 4th consecutive french open final for roger federer, (in the previous 3 finals he lost to rafael nadal) and he plays soderling, soderling had dream run here at french open, a guy who has never gone beyond 3rd round at any grand slams is playing final vs roger.i guess its going to be a wonderful match(i hope roger does it in 3 set itself, still let's see) and would love to c roger lifting up the trophy.to be honest, he really deserves it, the reasons:

1)its his 4th consecutive final and was in the prev 3 finals he was defeated by only one guy rafael nadal.

2)since 2004, he has never been knock out of any grand slam before the semis, that tells what consistent guy he is and a ambassador of sports.

3)he has been never won french open title though he has never lost to any other player other than rafa since 2004.

soderling too had a great run here at french open, he did what roger could not do here at french open, i.e def nadal.its a guarantee that the match is going to be wonderful- in one side we have roger, fighting to win his only non-tasted slam and his 14th and on other side soderling to taste his first grand slam win.

so guys let's booked our seat in the T.V room to witness the great final.

holiday time continued

who doesn't like holidays? i guess everyone like it.holidays are great and its even better when spent wisely.this is what i m trying for the last few days - to spent my precious holiday time wisely.last few weeks had been really wonderful weeks of my life, i went home, met some friends there, read some novels, played tennis(at top form in clay),watched tennis(Madrid Open and now French Open) .So as a whole, i had a wonderful time at home.

currenty, m doing my summer course here and m also working on network security, and ofcourse watching French Open.it was not the best of the feeling to see rafa lose the fourth round match to some guy called Soderling. after all i was hoping to see a final match between rafa and roger.but it a part of the game, it's not possible to win every time he steps into the court.after all he has been playing tennis for the last 5 months continuously which is ofcorse very trying, why the other guy is fresh.still the amazing thing i found in that match was the way rafa fought through out the match.yea it was true that rafa was not able to hit the ball with as much energy as he used to, but still he was trying to bring as much energy as he can at that time.even when he was 2-6 down in tie-break in the forth set, he was still there in the match not letting the opponent get any easy point. may be that's why he is such a champion. at 22, six grand slams.

well the good thing is the roger is still there and today he will play monfils in quaters.this time roger has to produce his best inorder the come over monfils "sliderman".roger all the best.the world knows what a great champion u r............

coming back to my story,well i dont have any more thing to say till now.........
when i will have one, i will surely write it here.............
