Nalbandian Gun Down Federer

Wooohoooo what a pleasant Sunday ! Finally someone has the composure, guts and spirit to defeat Federer in style. Yesterday's Tennis Master Final in Shanghai was one of the best tennis game from any opponent against Federer. Pity Gaudio who lost to Fed with 0-6, 0-6 in the semis.

When I tuned in to the game, the score was Fed vs Nal : 7-6, 7-6, 1-5. Wow Fed is in big trouble. Fed make lots of mistake. I think finally(after 5 sets) his unforced error was 72. Horrible right ?

Althought Fed has an ankle injury but he still plays like he's not having any injury at all(hahahaha). Not until the Final match in the 3rd set when Fed was feeling the 'tiredness'. Boom Bammmm and the final score Nal vs Fed: 6-7 (4-7), 6-7 (11-13), 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3). Yeah Fed came back stronger in the final set. I can see that Nal begans to withered and the spectators was clapping for Fed but somehow he gained back his confident and somehow too Fed starting to make mistakes again.

Nalbandian got away with a Mercedes CLK convertible and 1.4million and Fed can't become the first man since Ivan Lendly (1985-1987) to lift three straight year-end tournaments. I want the Mercedes. You can keep the 1.4million.

Do you know that whenever I see Fed playing no matter in Grand Slam or Tennis Master I'll won't watch ? Because he always win. No point watching but this time it's different. Someone had stepped up his game and match Fed. Cool!
