The 32nd thing. Australia Day.

I'm really down at the moment. I haven't watched Rafa lose many times. I think this is the first time ever actually. Just trying to get my disappointment across here. Watching your hero not go after the shots he can almost always return with interest, not seeing him master the baseline, not seeing his sending his opponents scrambling.. Its very hard. Alan and "Veejay" were right. Rafa's body language said it all. It was heart rending, watching him hang his head low the way he did. It wasn't.. it wasn't Rafa. It just wasn't. I took comfort and I worried at the same time when Vijay also said that he'd never seen this side of Rafa. But maybe I'm too worried about all of this. I should be happy that I'm a Rafanatic. I've watched brilliant tennis because of him for the past six years almost. He's been a source of inspiration. Hard work and modesty are two traits that jump out and have a profound effect on me. I should be glad that I'm lucky enough to witness the Rafa express. I mean he's bloody awesome for Christ's sake! What was I doing a while back, trying to write a eulogy? Rafa you have been one of the most vibrant, energetic, athletic people on the court!! I am ashamed to say, that as a Rafa fan, its taken me THIS long to fully realize, that when you are at your best NO ONE CAN DEFEAT YOU!
VAMOS!!!!!!!!!
And I just realized! First post of 2011! Erm, Happy New Year! :)
