It’s 30
past midnight and I have returned from Café Salvador Dali. The Usual Suspects
had gathered to watch Novak Djokovic beat Nadal. When the rain stopped it was
4-6/4-4, at a point when Nadal had recovered from 1-4. When the play will
resume… well we’ll see. Postponed because of rain yesterday the final of the US
Open has been dragging in length.
When it comes to the women there is in fact 3 that has ranked as the World’s Number 1; Monika Seles in 1991, and Ana Ivanovic and Jelena Jankovic in 2008.
Djokovic - which is nick-named Nole - won the Australian Open in 2008 and also the Bronze
Medal in the Olympics same year. He reached the final of the US Open in 2007
where he lost to Roger Federer. I guess Saturday's win was a good revenge for
that loss.
Now it is
just to wait until the game starts again, maybe later tonight or tomorrow.
Anyhow: napred Nole!!!
By the way: on the live pictures the court looks like the bottom of a swimming-pool...might be some time left before there will be any play.
Unfortunately he lost. Too poor serving, too many unforced errors and the fact that Nadal is stil the World's best player. But good effort though.
