Mostly Nothing

Indonesian soccer team made a really suprising debut by beating Bahrain 2-1 in its first game. It’s a big win considering Indonesian soccer fans have been expecting an awakening from the Indonesian soccer team. The multi-dimensional crises have been affecting various aspects of Indonesian life, including sports. Look, the results of last SEA Games… Indonesia which used to be number one, is now in the fourth, under Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Badminton, a sport which make Indonesian people proud, seems in a bad shape too lately although the Indonesia managed to sneaked into final of the last Sudirman Cup this year. So… the win against Bahrain really made many people happy… Hope the team will play well in the next games!

I spent almost four hours watching the Wimbledon men’s final match between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on TV last night until early morning

It’s really great game they showed with five thrilling sets. As a Federer’s fanatic fan, I got so involved emotionally on each point they were playing that made me stayed awake all night long and even long after the match had finished

Federer won the game, as we all know, for the fifth time in a row! Yeah, five years he has become the champ in Wimbledon… a fenomenal record that he has gained to match Bjorn Borg’s record 30 years ago.  It’s also Federer’s eleventh grand slam titles that makes him closer to another record of 14 grand slams by Pete Sampras. He will get those 14 or even more in next few years!

Federer is a great player… the best player ever!

Argh, very unfortunate that Federer has failed again to beat Nadal at Roland Garros final this year. The King of Clay who is also world number two player showed no mercy to all players by only dropping one set at final match to regain his kingship at Roland Garros for the third times in a row. Nadal became the second player in open era to get this hatrick after Bjorn Borg, who watched the final match. Nadal is only 21, so many more titles will be his in the future… including all other grand slams trophies… Let’s see if he can reach the stage that Federer is now showing.

As for Federer, Frech Open title is the only grand slam he has not obtained. Nadal has beaten him in three occassions… one in semi final  and twice in last two final matches. Well, Federer is still young himself. At 26, he has now 10 grand slam titles… only four short of what Pete Sampras has obtained. I beleive Federer will get more grand slam titles in two-three years ahead.

Go Fedex…

The French Open 2007 began today. It’ll be interesting to watch the matches… well at least to follow the results.

Can Rafael Nadal get his third consecutive title? (Well, in his third first appearance in the tournament!)

Can Roger Federer get the only grand slam title that he’s not obtained? (to add to 10 grand slam trophies he’s collected so far)

In the Hamburg Masters series lat week, it was Federer who beat Nadal… It was the first win for Federer on the clay against Nadal who has won 81 straight matches on clay. The head-to-head score is 7-5 still in favour of Nadal.

It’ll be wonderful to see the number 1 and 2 players on the world to meet on final!
