Hi
As you have read I am into my tennis. Well maybe just Fernando Gonzalez and sometimes Rafael Nadal.
And yes i have not made a real blog entry in awhile and i have a good excuse for it. I have been to the Australian Open every 2 days this week (so four times) and everyday i come home tired and what not.
The first game i watched was the Fernando Gonzalez vs Llyton Hewitt. I was sure Gonzalez would win but after the first set i knew Hewitt wasn;t going down without a fight. After winning two sets against Llyton, Gonzalez lost concentration losing the 4th set of the game. It was a terrific 5th set, within 41 minutes Gonzalez won the match against the Aussie Favourite Llyton Hewitt.
The scores were: (Gonzalez’s score is in Bold)
5-7 6-2 6-3 3-6 6-3
The came 2nd round where Gonzalez went up against a fellow South American opponent, from Argentina, Guillermo Canas. I got to the match early as it was on a outside court and I knew all the chilean cheer squad would be going there to get the best seats, we left the house at 8 am. When we got there of course there were chileans already but i was suprised to see a whole column of Aussie Supports were at the match as well. And they decided to cheer for the chileans. So the match went on and Gonzalez won the game in 3 straight sets (5-7 3-6 4-6).
The saturday night match would have to be one of the best matches I have seen Gonzalez play in. The first two sets i was so sure he would lose the match but he all surprised us and started to win back the match. The atmosphere was electric because on the 3rd they had a tie breaker and everytime Gonzalez was 1 up from the french guy he always would stumble and the french guy, Gasquet, would always catch up. It was edge of your seat action match and i don’t think i will experience that type of game for a long time. (well at least maybe next Australian Open)
The score was 6-3 6-3 6-7 (10-12) 2-6 10-12.
