Did he really? That's fantastic! I'm so happy. I forgot to watch it. But it's kind of funny, because my dad was reminding me to watch it on Friday and he was like, "it'll be a good one, but Federer will win." And I said, "you don't that, Rafa might win, it's possible."
I like them both, I'm not really sure which one of them I like better.

I like them both too. They're my two favorites, but for some reason, Nadal is my number one. I just find him adorable and I love how passionate he is. Not to say Roger isn't, but it was cool to see how hard Rafa worked to become number 1, and when he finally did, it was amazing. He just seems like he's having so much fun and I love to watch that. They're both great and it's really hard to choose, I know. lol.

And to win after he played a 5 hour and 14 minute match two days before (and playing incredibly hard and intense, no less. That match was phenomenal to watch. Verdasco was insanely good.) was an incredible feat. I still don't know how he did it. They're both superhuman, I swear. lol.

I don't really know that much about tennis, but Roger Federer seems like such a sweetheart. Cheers to Rafa though!

I love them both. They're my two favorites, but Rafa is so passionate and fun to watch when he plays. He's very serious on court, but very shy off court. It's cute to watch.

And I love Roger Federer and how he plays. Don't get me wrong. He's one of the greatest and is a total sweetie. If he was playing anyone else, I would have been cheering for him, but Nadal has been one of my favorites for a couple years so I've got to go with him. :)

Oh I totally understand! That's the trouble of having so many fantastic players, you've got to pick a favorite out of them! Lol, what a burden :)

I'm glad he won!!
But yes!! Federer always seems so upset and disappointed with himself. Makes me feel soo sooo bad for him. :( He's a great player! But it seems like he isn't happy with himself when he lose.s Poor dude.

But YES! Yay for Nadal's first Aussie Open :D

Exactly. I think this would have been so big for him, and he was so upset that he didn't win. :( I still think he'll get 14 though. He's too good not to.

And the commentators were ticking me off. I was like yelling at the tv "You don't know what the players are thinking or how they will react so stop stating your opinions as fact. I know you think you know everything, but I don't want to hear it all the time. Just shut up so I can watch them play. Dumb-Dumbs."

It's Nadal's first hardcourt win for a grand slam, too. So maybe he'll finally play in the U.S. Open final. I want to see him on American soil, darn it! lol.

URGH that's the thing about commentators. It's all their opinions and speculation about how they must be feeling. LOL

Oh is it? Well double yay!! That's even a lil more special :D Oh I'm sure he will now !!

And so Federer was going for 14 slams? or something? I don't know alot about his record lol

Ya, if he wins one more he'll be tied with Sampras for most Grand Slams won by an individual. If he gets 15, he'll have the most titles ever. So it's pretty awesome.
