OOH my god....i cant excuse myself for having missed that match. The very news of Rafa being defeated at the clay court hit me as a lightning strike..
I'm a fan of rafa and i like every aspect of his game (except his frequent act of scratching (or whatever) his a** while on the court!!) . It was sunday night and i was busy watching a movie (!!!), while the world experienced one of the greatest shocks of tennis history. Rafa , the undisputed king of the clay court and the world number one right now, is knocked out by not so famous , 25th seeded Robin Soderling. This man Soderling is the same person Rafa had beaten in straight sets a few days ago!!! And now he hits back...and in what style!!! He beats the king in his own land!!!
The crowd was surprised, so was the commentator and all the tennis fans worldwide..!!! And more shocked was Soderling!! and in news i see him throwing his racquet into the crowd...!! And no offence in doing that...he must have felt like he had stopped and dammed a fast flowing flooded river, checking his winning streak of 31 matches on clay...
I still cant excuse myself for missing that match.
and after the match what a talk (i wont call it a speech!!!) by Rafa...He admits his defeat and says "This day was bound to come one day...that day was today. I have to accept it " and further he clears a big hurdle for fedex who must have been the happiest man after Soderling !!!
Rafa is out. The man who has been beating fedex since 4 years is out of french open!! It cant get any better for him and i wish Federer wins a Roland Garros...finally one into his pocket!! If he does so he will be having all the four crowns with him!! but Fedex, this is a golden chance and once in a lifetime opportunity for u. coz i'm sure rafa will hit back harder and stronger next year. so win it now or forget it forever.
Finally Congrats soderling!!! and all the best.... and better luck next time Rafa !!! We still love u
