It is love – Watching US Open 2010 Live

20 Sep

At age of five, I saw the first grand slam tournament, the most prestigious of the four- Wimbeldon on television. I saw Steffi Graff and Boris Becker play and I fell in love with Tennis. Since then it’s been my obsession. I followed it regularly thanks to my equally obsessed uncle and sister. When I started understanding the game, I made myself a promise- one day I will see a grand slam live. On September 11, 2010 that dream came true. I enjoyed not one but two back to back matches involving top three seed Men’s tennis players and most importantly my the most favorite tennis player- Rafael Nadal. The fact that I was going to watch Rafa play was a high in itself but to watch him play in front of you and win is simple out of this world.

If I have to sum up Nadal’s match against Mikhail Youzhny, whom I would have supported had he been playing opposite any other player, it would be; he came, he played, he conquered. Although we all would have loved to see some drama, nerve wrecking tough sets, his straight set win to reach his first US Open final was a reward in itself. And whatever was missed in Nadal-Youzhny was compensated by Djokovic-Federer showdown. It had everything that the previous match didn’t. There was drama, competition, passion, determination and luck. Towards the end of it, Djokovic deserved to win.

Rafael Nadal and MIkhail Youhzny get ready

Watching a live sport event is a different thrill in itself and today I know how it feels. One of my dreams has come true because I live in New York and so close to the venue. Next stop, Wimbledon, may be :D some day for sure.. As of now I am in cloud 9!!
