Rafael Nadal has once again beaten Roger Federer in Australian Open 2009 in a grueling five set match which spanned for more than 4 hours with a score 7-5,3-6,7-6,3-6,6-2.
I must say if you are a Roger Federer fan then it was not a great sight to watch the Champion got beaten at the hands of Nadal like this. Well you must be wondering why i am saying this.
It was the second time that i saw Federer crying after the match is over. The first time i saw him crying was when he won Wimbeldon title for the first time in his career. The second time i saw him crying is today at the Australian Open 2009. The only difference is today he lost it.
As reporter Eleanor Preston rightly puts it, “He cried, and it was hard not to cry with him. The sight of Roger Federer’s lower lip trembling would have been enough to start most soft-hearted observers off, but by the time his tears started flowing, a far proportion of the 15,000 at Rod Laver Arena and the millions watching around the world were probably reaching for the tissues too. If that had not done the trick, then the sight of Rafael Nadal, his conqueror, putting his arm around him in friendly consolation, would have set off a worldwide outbreak of sniffles. Australia, perhaps more than any other nation on earth, values mateship, and you will not better embodiment of that than the sight of one great champion comforting another.”
