Astonishing

I can hardly believe it.



so i had to leave for school after the 3rd set. Federer led 2 sets to 1. hope was gone, i thought it was all over. delpo himself looked like he didn't wanna continue on with the match after losing the 3rd set. and i.. i went to school really really down and weary. partly because i had woken up at 4am also la. Still i was praying: oh God let there be some miracle. A miracle. Anything. Don't let delpo lose. At least not this badly... sigh. all the time in school i was thinking bout the match but had no one to talk to bout it as none of my friends watch tennis. So i was left all alone with my thoughts. sad. [9am: they should be done with their match now...wonder who won...did delpo lose?..how badly? did he miss his chance to win the grand slam...] think think think... i know. i'm obsessing big time.

of all days. today i got home only at 4. rushed in, opened up a page, heart pounding and all. and what greets me first but "Federer loses cool, US OPEN title."

*BLINK*

what.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaatt?????? that...that means...

ooh yeah. Juan Martin Del Potro the 20yr old 6-foot-6 Argentine has beaten the world No 1. Ah! *scream-jump-shout-laugh-jump-jump-jump* (mum watches me. "what in the world...")
i couldn't believe it. like, seriously. hah!
they had gone on for 4 hrs and into 5 sets. things really turned around. who would have thought. after 2 weeks following the tournament, the quarters, the semis, nadal and now federer. it's over. and that's one heck of a way to end it.

oh what a miracle, indeed. :)

[...del Potro conceded he hadn’t processed the whole thing, didn’t know what to do with the car they gave him, the trophy he kissed, the $1.85 million he won.
“Maybe cheesecake for my birthday,” he said.]

awwww...
