I'm not believing what's happening, THEN looked like the wheels were coming off! The final set was simply a BLESSING because I didn't know if I could take anymore drama!
Phenomenal, there just aren't enough words to describe what he's accomplished this year. And, I had doubts, when he had none. And the crowd was with Rafa, knew it would be which makes me feel even more for him. They were for Roger and yet this kid just keeps pouring it on.
During the third set and the tie break I was actually shaking. I keep asking myself why I feel so strongly about this because I'm sure I'm just one huge fan of his. He has many more, but in so many other's eyes it does seem he's almost looked upon as an interloper. I mean how dare he beat their idols.
Maybe I'm going off the rails on this, but one simply can not say he hasn't earned what he's done. There was a time when he and Rafa were friends, but now I can almost see Rafa looking at him with contempt. I've felt for a long time that Roger was never happy with him, thinking he acted like some sort of rock star at best. But HE DID IT! He had to climb 2 big mountains to prove himself and for that he should be very, very proud. He deserves a good rest and now I'm so happy for him.
I can recall one of the GREATEST woman's tennis players telling me several years back when I asked her what she thought about him and she told me "he has what it takes, if his head doesn't get too big." Now I hear her commenting on the Tennis Channel and she has praised him a lot this past year.
