Tennis Forever

[JamesDap]

By some coincidence or design, this is the second Aus Open final in three years that I missed (only partly this time) because of a film. In 2012, I had been called to watch Agneepath by college friends and couldn't refuse but deeply regretted watching the terrible film even as I found out what was going on in Melbourne. This time, I missed the meat - most of the first two sets - by the time I got back from a matinee show of The Wolf of Wall Street. But no regrets this time, had badly wanted to watch the film, really enjoyed it and was more worthwhile than a match that was sadly not a full on contest. Nice to see Wawrinka win, any non-big four player winning is a pleasant surprise. Hopefully he can also add either of Wimb or US Open this year in a hard fought contest instead of today. Nadal will have to wait a bit longer to equalise with Sampras.

P.S: The one that I didn't miss - 2013 - was strangely enough pretty boring and monotonous.
