It is raining for four days now and this weekend was really boring with all this rain. Its always nice this time of year here in Minneapolis. But this year still I feel like I am in winter. The last winter is mild too here so I am thinking summer is going to be the same which sucks. I watched the NBA playoffs and I am happy to see Dallas won the third game to make it 2-1 in the west semifinals. Although Dirk got hurt I am guessing they are going to win the series. I think this is the year for Mavericks.
The only positive from this weekend was the tennis match which I watched yesterday. Sometimes it's a pity that a tie don't exist in tennis match. I just got the tennis channel this weekend and I am very happy for that when I watched one of the best matches yesterday in Rome at Italian Masters between world number 1 Roger Federer and World Number 2 Rafael Nadal.
The moment the match started under the cloudy European skies at the historic Italian fort to its end after 5 hours they are great rallies hard hit forehand to forehand, wickedly spun backhands, crisp volleys, great lobs on both wings, exclusive passing shots and lots of ooo's and aaah's from the crowd. Not till the final second,seeing the usually reliable Roger Forehand's sailed long and Rafa falling on the court with red dirt everywhere on his shoulder to his long capri's none would have expected the outcome of the match.
It was a close, intense, hard fought battle. It's great to see Roger matching shot to shot to obvisously one of the best clay courters all time Rafael. I wonder what else he can do to win against him. I don't think he can play any better than how he played yesterday especially on the red dirt.
I think this is developing into one of the great rivalaries which whole tennis world is craving for and also a curtain raiser for the French Open at Roland Garros.
