Figuratively, yes, I did surive a heart attack. This is after the semi-final match between my Rafa and Fernando Verdasco of Spain (Rafa’s friend and team mate at the Davis Cup). The match lasted 5 hours and 14 minutes! And every minute of it was nerve-racking, heart-pounding and jaw-dropping!
In all fairness to Verdasco, he did everything he could. He had almost 100 winning shots, compared to Rafa’s 52! In the end, experience really mattered. In the 5th set, at 4-5 (Verdasco serving), he double faulted, and Rafa broke him and win the match!
The match came down as one of the historic matches in the Australian Open. It was the longest match, for sure. And it is one match where audience hope that both will be the winner.
The good news is, to all RaFANs, we will see Rafa in his first ever Australian Open Finals. Hopefully, it will be one that will live up to expectations.
I don’t know. I guess my mind is in disarray and I don’t think I am making sense here. This article is full of jumbled thoughts. But in short, yeah, I’m happy that Rafa got through. And I’m happy that he gave the sport this level of performance.
Vamos Rafa! And due to my happiness of Rafa winning, I dropped by new Sony Ericson G900! Another cause of heart attack.
Then, out of the blue, a long-lost friend sent me an instant message. I told him I just survived a heart attack. He was concerned but when he found out it was all about Nadal, he did not reply to my IM. LOL! Yes, heart attacks!
Everytime Nadal plays, there’s always a prospect of that, especially to a die hard fan like me.
What more can I say? I love Rafa. For Sunday’s final with Federer, I’d say it once again: VAMOS RAFA!
