PHENOMENAL.54TH CONSECUTIVE CLAY COURT WINNING STREAK.Who did all these?None other than the great Rafael Nadal. Yesterday, Monday, May 29,2006, Rafa won his 54th consecutive claycourt win against Swede Robin Soderling. Rafa held both the 1st and 3rd sets, but Soderling obviously had harder groundstrokes during the 2nd set. The wind didn’t help Rafa at all. Rafa didn’t play his best,usual claycourt magic.However, you can really see how good he is. Me and my parents watched it together, at 12 am, ate Lays and had fun. However, after the second set, my mom slept already and my dad went out. They showed Venus Williams’s game instead which made me feel sleepy. I slept for around 30 minutes, then woke up at the last point of Rafa’s game. My dad said Robin obviously lost confidence in the third set. I got the chance to watch the part where Guillermo Vilas gave the trophy to Rafa, a sign of his dominance in clay. Guillermo Vilas is the holder of continuos claycourt winning streak of 53 wins for 29 years. The trophy consists of the different layers which make up the clay courts of Roland Garros. I don’t know whatsoever, but with the different articles, I can’t understand the great Vilas. In some, he’s proud of Rafa. In some, he says that Rafa didn’t play well and that sometimes he joins easy tournies to beat the record. Oh come on! Not until Monte Carlo did Rafa realize he was closing on the record!!! And he does have the right to defend his Barcelona and Rome titles, doesn’t he? Oh darn.Whatever.So maybe Vilas’ smiles here are fake or whatever? Oh, who knows what he really feels?!

same hairstyles,same smile, but do they both feel very happy about Rafa's feat in the world of tennis? Who the heck knows if Vilas's smile is fake?


rafa and guillermo with the trophy. :)

Forgive me if Im ranting too much about tennis lately.Basically, tennis is my life right now. My life revolves around tennis. So yeah, in advance, I apologize for the next two weeks because maybe around 98% of my posts will be about tennis.Because one of the major tournaments for the year will be held for the next two weeks,The French Open. Basically, my t.v. will be tuned to it from 5pm onwards. Ill waste my money maybe buying pizzas, chips and all that stuff. I so love Sports Plus. At least they are showing most of it, and they have a formal schedule, unlike poor ESPN and Star Sports who dont give priorty to tennis.You can see this in the Rome finals wherein they only showed the fifth set!!!!

Okay so let’s go to basketball. My goodness Mavericks leads the series against the Suns by 2-1!!! I can’t believe it!! Okay, so I don’t know who I’ll cheer for because these are my two favorite teams!! I love them both! So yeah.

Detroit! What’s up with yah?! Come on, show you’re good and beat the Heat! I don’t love Detroit, but my dad does. I mean, I don’t like Heat. They’re good but I just don’t like them.Their fans wearing all white is just too much drama for me.Okay, maybe its because I hate Shaq for leaving the Lakers-still. I mean it’s been a long time ago but look what he’s done to the Lakers! They are on a slump! Just thank Kobe for everything. Hes scoring more than half of the points most of the time. Heat leading the series 3-1 just upsets me soooo much. :S

Okay so ughm about me this time.I hate my ankles. I really am having a difficult time to walk and all those stuff. I miss my freaking tennis lessons! I mean, I’m starting on my backhand (which is tough, tell you) But maybe it’s partly my fault too cause I forced myself to go to tennis lessons last Friday though I know that my ankle is really hurting.That’s what you call love. Willing to sacrifice.Hahahah.Kidding. Okay so ughm yeah, It’s so tough to stand up.

I’m just here at home, waiting for the French Open. I believe that Marat is one unlucky guy.He’s up Gonzo and everyone knows how good Gonzo is on clay, and how not good Marat is on clay!! It’s not that I don’t like Gonzalez or anything.Please don’t get me wrong. Gonzo is one of my favorite players but somehow, I feel sad for what’s happening to Marat’s career lately! Ohmy..my childhood idol is playing today!! None other than the Laureus comeback queen, Martina Hingis! I really hope she wins this. Okay, so I’m back on tennis. Tsktsk, see? That’s how much I lurrvvee tennis, that’s how I often I think about it! Hahaha.

Okay so back to me,, HE left last Sunday. I mean, the last time I chatted with him was last Friday. It’s so sad. I hope he’s okay. I should have said "CUIDATE MUCHO". It’s the Spanish word that Alexis taught me which means "Take Care". I really wish him the best in South Carolina….I wanna say to him.. "te extrano y cuidate mucho" which means I’ll miss you and take care. Okay too much drama so maybe it’s time to sign off. J Take care and for those who read this, like maybe 0 out of 10 viewers, thank you for your patience in reading my rants.

I can’t do much today so maybe you can read more of this? I’m really in the Tennis Zone right now so maybe a little patience?
Here is a list of my current favorite Tennis players:
1)Rafael Nadal (duh.hahaha.)
2)David Nalbandian
3)Roger Federer (come on! even though I sort of hate his attitude and everything, he is undoubtedly the best player right now, maybe of all time!)
4)Martina Hingis- who doesn’t love these comeback queen? She’s been my idol since I was five.
okay maybe I’ll repost this since my mind is sort of having mental block? Haahaha.so yeah thats it. :)
