Australian Tennis Open

The Australian open fever is here!the tournament started last monday with its first round matches getting underway. it is now in 4th round and the quarter final stage and every match is getting more and more exciting..it has official disrupted my life because i got to stay up late to complete things that need to be done becoz i caught the matches earlier on...each match i watch is about 3hours..some goes as long as 4 or 5hours....its much longer than a soccer match...but the joy comes when those players product some magic with this rackets to hit some unexpected and glorious shot...

I watched an epic match between Andy Roddick and Fernando Gonzales ytd.Andy roddick is seeded 7 and gonzales 11.Gonzales started the match brillantly with a few winners and led 2-1 on set after the third set...roddick looks set and destined for defeat until he came up with the magic in the 4th set,game at 6-5 with gonzales serving,gonzales have a lead at 40-0 over roddick and most will think he will wrap up this set and go on to win the tie break and the match,but he made a few mistakes and roddick captialised to win the game...the score is now 2-2 into the final set..

Roddick didnt look back since the 4th set victory and claim the 5th quickly, breaking gonzales serve and winning the set 6-2...roddick wins the match 3 sets - 2.

Just magnificent and as a result, i stayed up till 2am to finish the fyp that needs to be done..so i skip lecture in the morning and went for tutorial.I'm now in a midst of a fyp meeting.

Let's get it over and done with!
