Talk about bad timing..........while one of the greatest tennis matches was being played out, we were at a local hotel having dinner with the newly elected Management Committee of the Club, hmmm.....
Well, Nadal came through again.....after defeating Fernando Verdasco in a gruelling 5hr 14 minutes semifinal on Friday (the longest match in the history of the Australian Open), he won the finals on Sunday against Roger Federer...
This guy is fit....although Federer had a longer rest as he finished his semifinal match (against Roddick) a day earlier, Nadal still managed to fight through a 4hr 23 minutes five sets final on Sunday.....The tournament has not had a five-sets final since 1988....
He needed one more win to square Sampras's record...so near..so near...
Well I suppose we will catch the highlights at the club later this evening....:(
Oh.....a few words of thanks....
thanks to Rano who posted an article on the Club on his site Ranoadidas.com...thanks Rano..appreciate it......coincidentally, we met up with Rano at the hotel..he was covering a lion dance performance at the hotel premises....so I guess you didnt catch the match either?....
Also, thank you to Conia who announced on her Sunday "Pilihan" show that the Brunei Tennis Club is having a membership promotion, in conjunction with the 25th National Day celebrations....entrance/joining fee is reduced to $100 from $150...anytime you want a game, Conia.....just let us know.....:)
