even the smiley face dampener on his racquet is crying

It is really disturbing to see a guy cry.
More disturbing to see a guy like Nole cry.
It's Nadal again, it's always him.
I think it's a curse. It's not that Nole is not good enough, they were equally great. Nole had his moments which he outshone Nadal in the match and Nadal like wise. And under normal circumstances, Nole won't give his opponent a match point like that. He would make them earn that. I was mumbling "make him earn it, Nole, make him earn it" towards the last few points, cause he was simply making too much mistakes in his 1st serve. It could be pressure, it could be a curse. The romantic side of me wants to believe the latter.
It's a bad day for tennis. My tennis at least.
I shall HATE that guy from that sunny island of Mallorca forever. So what you're a Spaniards. I'll stick to my Liverpool Spaniards, muchas gracias.
One day Nole, one day.

Universe, are you conspiring?

When you really want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. -- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist.
I certainly hope so. You wouldn't believe how much I want that particular thing.
Anyway, tennis earlier tonight was shite. For me at least. Foot started cramping up during warm up. I think that's a first. I mean, who cramp up during warm up?! Then it was the thigh, hurting like hell in the middle of the game that our coaches love to play. Lining up and let the winning team aim and serve at us?! Carry on like this I won't be surprise if I have brain damage one day. (Note to self: Get a Peter Cech "helmet" pronto.) And then the pain transfered to my back. It's STILL hurting. Damn. And I need to work on my backhand and serving BIG TIME. Those 2 has always been my weakness, especially backhand. My left hand never feel comfortable. Never.
Enough of ranting I think, am off to bed. Nights.

Inspired but not really aspired.

IF that make sense.
I'm inspired by Ana and Nole. Ever since I became a huge fan of them. Watching them running about the court makes me the sportsy side of me itch.
Ana at it.
It's been ages since I held a tennis racquet. I almost forgot how nice it feels until earlier tonight. The coaching session was alright, definitely prefer this new coach than Uncle Mak, only because the latter was so strict that sometimes he makes me think that I am undergoing training for some big ass tournament.
My legs hurt right now, but it was nice. Too bad it rained, so we were deprived of at least another hour of fun!
And I think I'm more of a sport person than a musical instrument person. I never really look forward to the next lesson when I was learning Er Hu or guitar, but you bet I'm looking forward to the next tennis lesson. Very much so.

Nole Djokovic vs the shrieking chipmunk
Wednesday, June 4, 2008 10:19 AM
It was a great day for Serb tennis yesterday at Roland Garros. Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic all made it through into the semi finals.
Ana is going to play Jelena in the semis. It's a battle between the 2 countrymen(women?), but I do believe Ana is going to come up better between the 2. Simply because she is in perfect form this whole tournament. Come on Ana, let's go all the way and win your 1st Grand Slam title!
Nole, oh Nole, is going to play Nadal in the semis. Damn. It's always Nadal standing in his way from claiming the world number 2 ranking. Just like in Hamburg earlier. Saw Nadal played against Almagro yesterday night, as much as I hate to admit it, the shrieking chipmunk is in perfect form. Totally destroyed Almagro, that poor chico wasn't even allowed to play tennis.
But, it's Nole we are talking about. I won't be surprise if he end up beating Nadal the King of Clay and claim the world number 2 ranking and go on and win the and his 2nd Grand Slam of the year. heheh, here's to hoping. Heard his interview earlier this morning, and I have to say he has the right mentality going into the match and that has always been a very important part of his game. So, ADJE NOLE! <3

Happy Birthday Nole!

Happy 21st Birthday Novak Djokovic!He's only 21 and he's the world number 2 tennis player! Makes me wonder what will it be like when he's at the peak of his career. I'm putting my bet on he's going to be greater than FedEx!(and less arrogant too)
'stolen' off his official website. "Nole Adje" means "come on Nole" in Serb and it's a gift from his Chinese fans.
