Salah satu sebab berhari tak update sebabnya letih.. dan soo busy lepas habisnya Australian Open.. and the best thing Nadal Won..

"1st of February
Rafa Nadal became the first Spaniard to win the Australian Open title after another epic five-set battle with Roger Federer that lasted 4 hours and 23 minutes and that finished with a 7-5 3-6 7-6 (7-3) 3-6 6-2 score-line."

Walaupun busy dengan the event bagai.. but I didnt miss the final at all.. thanks to the long hours of the match..

Walaupun semua my bro in laws, uncle etc.. tak sokong Nadal.. hu.. hu.. semua die hard fan Federer.. atpi me & my bro were busy sms the whole match.. tension giler...

"It is amazing to even begin to fathom how a human being can go 5 hours and 14 minutes of high-octane tennis, to the point of tears, only to then turn around and do it again in less than 48 hours later, with a 4 hour and 23 minute match."

"It is truly unbelievable how much heart and determination Rafael Nadal has, as he once again ripped Roger Federer’s heart right out of his chest, stopping him from tying tennis’ all-time mark of 14 major championships."

After the final , me my dear & my bro in laws lepak at kedai mamak pai around 11pm.. then sampai rumah too tired dah..

Today baru ada masa tu surf , google , and read all news , site , article & comments on the match.. and also bought all major newspaper with all the news on the match..

So happy that Nadal & team made it.. the passion & determination ..

"In a ceremony that will not soon be forgotten by tennis fans all over the world, Rafa humbly apologized to Federer, as the Swiss champion couldn’t hold back a sea of tears. “I understand exactly how you feel,” Nadal told Federer. “You are a great champion and one of the best... you will improve the 14 (majors) of Pete Sampras.” The compassion and class Rafa displayed towards his rival, is a true testament of two great rivals and champions, respecting, admiring, and looking up to one another."

So, my life will be back to normal until the next Grand Slam that is the French Open in May 2009..

Till then , Vamos Rafa..
