TSONGA!!!

hoho for those who watched the match on Thursday, you'd know what i'm gonna be talking about

i recorded the match cos apparently this "unknown", ranked 38th (not gonna jinx anything) is REALLY good. and after watching the hilarious, weird, original, sad, kooky, great JUNO, watched the recording!

omigoodness, this is the first match that i've watched that's made me talk to the TV, literally acting like a sport fanatic shouting at the TV (and made me talk like this person from school who uses words such as "amazing", "incredible" "magical" when she talks about Australian Idol...-___-")
the match was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga against Rafael Nadal (#2) and from the start of their warm-up, they were already hitting serious shots at each other!

Nadal is #2, but as the commentator Jim Courier said (i like his commentary, not talking about tennis jargon which i don't understand), he's "always in overdrive", like he runs all around the court (haha thanks to Tsonga) and his already wet-looking hair is dripping in sweat (but his arm is so muscly migod! i wonder what it feels like to receive his forehand!), while Jo-W. is hitting all calm, 'running' to the net, and hitting volleys and drop-shots so effortlessly!! and the ball somehow just stops after the first bounce over the net!!!

and when Rafael N. doesn't get a point or something, his face is soooo disappointed! like *aggh.... - insert basset hound face -* compared to Jo-wilfried who doesn't have a reaction really, and some of his game was soooooo good Nadal was smiling in disbelief like everyone in the audience! and when it was only one more point until the match point, he was smiling, like, yes, let's just finish this..he's too good. seriously like he's never lost a set before in this Aus. Open, and now he's being beaten by the world #38 with a score of 6-2, 6-3, 6-2!!!! whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

so happy i have it on tape (~__________~)V that's a relieved face
haha reminds me of what kennysia thought of jay chou's face: -__- hahahaha ok.

can't wait for tomorrow's match Tsonga against Djokovic!! *tape ready*.
