Tennis Forever

[Arvind Srinivasan]

Rafa played well, but Novak played better! It will be Berdych and Djokovic in tomorrow's final. (Note: I was hoping for a Monfils/Nadal match!)

Nadal played one of his best matches of the year in my opinion. He fought hard and at places shouldn't have lost his service game. Losing the 7th game in the 2nd set from 40-0. Had he had played at the level he was exhibiting in the hard court season, it would have been disastrously one sided. Before the match, the guy had just beaten one player in the top ten this year and so to expect him to topple Djokovic would just be asking too much of him I feel. Anyways I feel he should be ready to go once the French Open kicks in. Expecting a Federer/Nadal SF. Oh wait, first Federer's got to get to that stage. Athuve ippa kelvi kuriyaa irukku...
