The great thing about tennis.

I haven't had the time to read my favourite paper lately a.k.a The New York Times but having five minutes to spare whilst I finish the first round of Jay, this was the first article I decided to read after a month's hiatus from the webbie....

Federer beat Djokovic 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 to win the US Open.

haha. This would be Federer's 12th striaght title or something. Read it here.

Federer is great. He's the epitome of cool, calm and collected on the tennis court. No hint of emotion, no indications whatsoever that he's NOT in control of his nerves. He's like the exact opposite of what Hewitt is (i'm biased la, because I don't really like watching Hewitt play tennis. It's so melodramatic.) It sucks that we didn't get live telecasts of the US Open unlike with Wimbledon. BUT i (and alot of other people have figured) that it's really because all the Australians crashed out and so, being the patriotic television channels they are, they'll only bother to televise stuff when there are Australians playing. Particularly now with the rugby world cup and Australian being in the finals. It's all over tv. I though despite the fact of choosing this country to stay for the last 4 years still want New Zealand to win. They cannot screw up like last year. Just cannot. NOOOOO.

On the bright side though, at least I still get some tennis tournaments on tv without having to go through all the cable nonsense. which I secretly really want. haiyah.

Anyhoo. I think Djokovic is the "next big thing". muahha. He plays a mean game of tennis and he's only twenty. The fact that he's cute - super duper bonus too. He's always giving the more experienced players on tour a run for their titlemoney. Happened in Wimbledon too. It'll be exciting to next see him play. I do miss tennis alot already.

That said, I got jay back. jay's here on my stereo. wo xi huan. I would have a very great birthday if I could watch jay in concert. *hint. ha.
