COME ON RAFA!!

I just hope he's recovered from the epic that was his semi.

From:

He's such a sweetheart. I kind of want him to win too, just because that semi was so amaaaaaaaazing. I love Roger, but if he walks it in tonight, I'll be sad.

I'm not a Federer fan at all, and so while I'm looking for a good final above all, I really want Rafa to beat him again. :D

From:

Hee! Ok! ;) I'm lucky, I'll be happy either way, but I want a good match.

Come on Rafa!!! :D It is going to be exciting for sure!

From:

He's very good! It should be a good one!

From:

Yay for tennis love!! (says someone who's got Wimbledon '08 written on a DVD lol)

Hoping for another great final.Although I'm concerned that Nadal will be dead-tired after that marathon of a semifinal...

From:

The semi was amaaaaaaaaazing! So glad Rafa made it though--it was like he won the final right there.

But yes, I worry he will be tired.

From:

The semi was amazing indeed.Probably the best match of the tournament.

Also,it sucks that the two semis were on different days...Not really fair.

From:

Yeah, that's always a problem. But at least the semi was at night not in the worst heat of the day.

Totally forgot the Open was on. Another Feds/Nadal final eh? Isn't it like 43 degrees in Melbourne right now?? I hope it's a good match and that both play well despite that godawful heat. I for one would like the heat wave to stop now thank you very much. That sticky sweaty feeling has now lost all its novelty.

From:

The temperature has finally dropped, but they both played on 43 degree days earlier this week. Poor Rafa! He sweats so much at the best of times.

From:

I love them both A LOT! I think Rafa and Federer both play terrific tennis.

BUT. I remember times when there were actually different people in different finales. Like the sand-specialists like Rios and the spaniards. And then the grass-guys or the hard-courters. When it was all a little more mixed up! :)

But whatevs, I sound like my grandma. :)

They play a great match!!! And i really should take the dog out because it's his usual time BUT TENNIS IS ON! Pets, they just don't get it... :)

From:

Hee! I'm a bit of a fan of the running rivalry thing... also I love it when players try for a Grand Slam. I loved the Sampras/Agassi stuff, I love this too... though I do like how Wimbledon throws everyone off. (I get a bit bored by the clay courts though--such slow bouncing!)

From:

Yes, I love how they handle the rivalry. They are cool dudes. :)

Sampras/Agassi was EPIC! I was a HUGE Sampras-fan. :D
And they had matches. WOW. I always loved Wimbledon because Pete did well there. :D

I love Nadal because before him, no one could stop Federer and it's much more suspenseful now. :D

From:

I was a huge Sampras fan too! I was at his quarter final against Jim Courier when he broke down in tears about his coach's death and Jim asked if he wanted to come back the next day. Most memorable live sporting event ever!

And it was great to have Agassi around to test Sampras--such EPICS.

I definitely appreciate Nadal's presence. Federer is stunning to watch, but there is little suspense with anyone else.

Speaking of which.... WHEEEEE break!

From:

YES! I only read about it. It was sucha dramatic match!!

I saw one Sampras/Agassi epic during the World Cup in Hannover, Germany. It was in the late nineties and I skipped school to go there. It was SO COOL. I also used to vacation to Paris to watch Pete at the French Open but he never lasted long! But it was always an awesome trip! :D

Man, those were the tennis days! We even had half-decent german players.

LOOKS LIKE WE WILL GET A 5th!! :D

From:

Aww, yeah, Pete always bummed out in the French! ;) It's cool you got to one Sampras/Agassi though. I saw a semi between them down here once.

I'm going to be so tired at work tomorrow! OH WELL!

From:

Heh, those are the sacrifices you have to bring. It's 2 pm here right now, so I am good. But tonight is the superbowl which I plan on watching with some friends and that will be around 1 am my time.

I have to be in school to intern at 8 am. :)
That will be a tough day!! :D

From:

Looks like maybe you can go to bed soon...?

From:

Yup, I watched the final games from bed, and got all sad when Roger cried. But I did like that he got snuggles from Rafa! Rafa is a sweetheart.

From:

Eee! Eee! Can he do it? I think he might!

From:

I was out with the dog and the come back to Federer serving at 2-2 in the third. MAN, what a game that was. WHAT a match!!! :D

From:

Ok maybe not... :(

Friend of mine and I are in chat watching it, even though it's before dawn over here. I think I may have to get coffee soon, despite how exciting the match is.

I love both players, but I'm leaning just a smidge in Rafa's direction, I have to admit.

From:

I'm leaning that way too now! He's come out really well after that semi, and I kind of feel like he deserves it after the semi.

From:

Wow.I think I may have had a heart attack at some point in the game.

Very exciting match...It seems Nadal wasn't that tired after all. lol

Congrats to both!

From:

Hee. Yeah, not that tired after all! He did really well. I got all sad for Roger though. He loves the Aus Open so much. :(
