ZXL Moon Sports

As i'm typing this..my 13.3 screen in split into 2..one with this of cos, and the other..also of cos, of wimbledon..*at this very moment, tsonga(who will be now be known as the first player to ever win fed from 2 sets down) is 1-2 against djokovic, almost a replay of wed's match..

Ok, now that i've more or less accepted the great tragedy(of fed's loss), i can blog a little more about it..for posterity's sake..ha!

******
It started off promising enough..5 of us arriving upon Far East, determined to get a place to catch the Wimbledon(sleazy pub also can, so said twink) With the big 4 playing - Roger! Djokovic! Nadal! Murray!, we were looking forward to some serious action..

We flitted from pub to pub..screen too high up, table too close, seats too wet from the drizzle..and then we found a giant screen and almost immediately, we plonked ourselves at the table in front of it. Pimms were ordered(how appropriate for Wimbledon!), along with fries with the only-zxl-can-detect-spiciness sauce. And of cos, twink was the one to get the staff to lower the thump-thump music and on the volume for the tv(this is what i like about twinky!

For the first 30 mins or so, it was all smooth sailing(for Roger) and we were discussing how soon he can wrap up the match. And when he dropped the third set, we thought maybe he was too relaxed and made some unfortunate unforced errors..

By the forth set, we(or rather, urs truly) started banging the table a little more furiously and i had to get another beer to calm my nerves..

Fifth and deciding set, dear Roger got broken in the very first game..and i was thinking 'this cannot be good..' And as what the commentator said, slowly but surely, Tsonga is reaching match point..Soon, Tsonga was serving at 5-4 with 2 match points & it was over when Roger returned the serve half-heartedly into the net..

Sigh..it's the Wimbledon..how can it be..Will i ever get to see Roger win another Grand Slam..
