What a match!
Nadal vs. Verdasco
Five sets...5 hours, 14 minutes...longest match in tournament history.
And I stayed awake for most of it. *LOL* I think I missed a couple of points in the fifth set. Not my fault though...it was after 1 am. :)
I was more than a little heartbroken that the match ended on Verdasco's double fault though. Not a proper ending for such a tremendous match.
But, my favourite part of the match?
Watching Rafa step over the net and pull Fernando into a hug. That made me smile.
All I can say now is...go, Rafa, go!
I do like Federer...very much. But, I can't want him to win the tournament this year...merely on principle. He did knock Safin out, you know. :)
