While I was off being sleepless with all the paper work and gallivanting
over a portion of the world, Roger has been doing pretty well (cause, well, you know, why wouldn't he?). So, I was off going
about (my) life that I wasn't able to be ecstatic about any of it.
Well, I'm quite ecstatic now!
I usually try to get into tennis 1-2 tournament before any
grand slams to prime myself for the big events so I watched the 2nd and 3rd game of the
Madrid Open finals last night over live stream and what do you know?! Roger
wins again! And, he’s now the new world number 2! (Woooohooo! Yeah!)
So, Roger now:
- has 20 Master titles! (now tied with Nadal as the all-time leader)
- Is the first man to have won the Madrid title 3 times (on 3 different surfaces!)
- Has 7 titles of the 10 tournaments since last year’s unfortunate US Open.
- Has been doing so well the last 8 months (and has yet to lose a final!)
If winning last night’s finals makes Roger a smurf, so be
it! Take that Djokovic and Nadal (you two divas!) for saying that only smurfs can play on the blue clay!
Must say this trophy looks like a weird baton or magic wand of sorts... (hey what do you expect from a court named magic box or the "Caja Majica" or a tournament that uses models for ball girls?!)
Well, well... Much ado about that blue clay
court but at the end of the day, he who adapts and makes it work, wins! And, that's the mark of a real champion! Well done Roger!
