My thoughts of the match? Until it was 4-1 for Rafa in the second, it was yawn. Yawn yawn. Yawn yawn yawn yawn. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwn. And then my stream died, and THEN it got interesting. 13 games into the match, it got interesting. There is no god. I missed the whole interesting part, sad to say. Here's hoping someone upload the tiebreak on youtube. Well they better! It was tiebreak gold.
The whole match Ginge was juggling the ball inside his shorts pocket and that's not me trying to be cheeky. Somehow, after how many matches of his I've seen he decides that his first semifinal against Rafa - on clay no less - will be the time when he develops sudden discomfort to the ball inside his shorts pocket. He was also vaguely looking like he was trying to remember if he turned off his coffee maker.
4-1 in the second, when I'm two nods away from falling asleep, Miri told me not to doze just yet, as usually this is about the time when Ginge resurrects himself. Heh. I think we bloggers have to bite our tongues on jokes next time, because that's just what Andy did. And then just about everyone in my twittosphere started accusing me of giving Andy the kiss of life I claimed to have given him during his matches against Fognini and Kolya! Sheesh. I'm good, but I'm not that good okay.
Anyhoo, it was a good semi. Scary part is that now Ginge must have figured out a little on how to beat Rafa on clay, and trust me he will figure it out before long. That's how smart of a player he is. Oh, and we got the first real fistpump from Rafa in Monte Carlo.
He brought the cows home alright. Sorry Ginge, no #2 for you just yet. Rafa will meet Djoko the Smurf in the final. Don't forget to send out good vibes and mojo to Rafa tomorrow as Djoko demolished (well, two 3 setters, but I just wanted to use that word) 3 Spaniards on his way to the final, not to mention Roger's BFF Wawrinka. Good luck, Smurf. Rafa will kick your ass.
Funny note: According to @fonger in Twitter, Robby Koenig from TTV mentioned something about horny Rafa fans. The other commentator suggested they should be called Rabid Toro Fans. Now, how do we get them to visit this blog? Anyone?
Hah! Once again, I love your ramblings!
ReplyDeleteOne of the commentators (I think it might have been the British guy) did indeed say 'oh, a couple of horny Rafa fans' and I chuckled, thinking about our comments here...
My live stream started doing its usual 'freezing up' as it got exciting in the second set, but got to watch most of it. As much as I like the Ginge, it was great to see Rafa kick some ass!!!
