My name is Sreisaat and I am a tennis fan.
For the past two weeks I've been losing sleep watching the Wimbledon's matches, especially Rafael Nadal's. A few weeks before the Wimbledon was the Roland Garros (French Open) tournament, and the Barcelona and Monaco Masters tournaments. You can imagine how many times I stayed up till the wee hours in front of the telly considering the time difference between Europe and Asia. Call me crazy if you must. I can't help it, I am a fan-girl. Rafa's tennis mojo is up to its optimum level and he is in fighting form in every single match. No wonder he won all the clay tournaments this year. So if you see me walking around Phnom Penh with black circle around my eyes, it wasn't my husband's doing, okay? It's because of lack of sleep from tennis. Say hi to me, instead. And don't just recommend the best eye cream for dark circles to me. Chat me up, ask me about tennis and Rafael Nadal as well. Tee-hee-hee.
So tonight it's going to be the much anticipated Wimbledon finals. Without Roger Federer. We certainly don't mind not having him around. All eyes will be on Rafael Nadal, the second seed and World Number One, and gunning for his second Wimbledon title, who will be playing against the first-time Czech Grand Slam finalist Tomas Berdych. Will Berdych's cannonball serve and matching ground strokes match Nadal's brutal-and-far- from-being-sublime-style-of-tennis? I am excited to find out a few hours from now.
When asked about his chances of winning his second Wimbledon title, Nadal puts it with a touch of circumspect. I'm quoting the whole paragraph from the Wimbledon site:
"Tomas is a very aggressive player, very good serve, very good flat shots from the baseline. It's very difficult to stop him when he's playing well, and he's playing really well. It will be very difficult match for me." Then he smiled and added, "Hopefully for him, too."
Very-well said.
Vamos, Rafa! Good luck!
I'm going to watch you lift and bite that Wimbledon trophy again :D
