Like I did with the finals of the women yesterday, I started writing a post in anticipation of the men’s final. Then I got all superstitious because Henin lost yesterday, and I don’t wanna jinx Roger Federer, so I waited until it’s over before I completed this. And I’m very happy to report that Roger Federer won his 16th Grand Slam title in Melbourne today.
All throughout the match, I was trying to keep myself from updating my Facebook page using my sister’s newly unlocked phone with match commentaries. I even managed to stay away from Twitter. I was quite tense because Andy Murray looked more like the man to beat than Roger was the whole fortnight. But all’s well that ends well. At least for us Federer fans. Andy Murray broke hearts, though, including mine, by his acceptance speech (which he can’t finish because the tears came). He gave everything, he played brilliantly, and he was beaten in straight sets. Now I want to support Andy Murray. At least as long as he doesn’t face Federer in a final of a Grand Slam.
Now, on to Roland Garros.
