1. Harry Potter- this has been going on for the past eight years, so nothing new
2. Soccer- this started in 2006 after watching every single game in the World Cup, but the obsession level has been especially high this year since I discovered my love for Manchester United
3. Tennis- this one is pretty new, it started at the beginning of this year when I was bored and decided to watch the Australian Open and then every single game of the French Open and Wimbledon. I believe that Roger Federer is God.
4. Reading- nothing new...
5. Other things that I don't feel like talking about right now
So, I wanted to focus on my tennis obsession right now since today was the end of Wimbledon. Oh, what an end it was. The game was four and a half hours long, which surprised me because, well let's face it, no one believed that Andy Roddick would be able to pull of a 5 setter. I mean he is good, but if you want to beat Roger you have to be amazing. I woke up at 9 to watch the entire match and when Roddick broke Fed's serve for the first time I went into shock, I basically stood in front of the TV for about an hour and a half (or until the epic fifth set) in complete shock. My mom was actually trying to talk to me at one point and I completely ignored her and kept staring on. And since I mentioned the epic 5th set of that match, I have to talk about it. I mean that set alone was longer than the entire women's final (which was really disappointing), and it took Federer 30 games to win the match. I think sometime after the 10-10 game I started pacing back and forth just waiting for the game to end. At that point I didn't care who won, I just wanted the game to end. Of course when it did end my hero won, even though it took him 4 and a half hours, 5 sets and 30 games in the last set.
I felt really bad for Federer's wife while she stood there watching him struggle. I was freaking out in front of the TV, and I don't even know the guy, but she is his wife and all, she must have been freaking out... And then there was Andy, oh poor Andy. I think this is the 5th time that he lost to a Fed in a Grand Slam Final. Poor thing, I felt so bad for him, because he came so close, and he played so well, but he just couldn't do it.
But I am very glad that Federer is again the number one player in the world (the only player to ever lose the number one rank and regain it), has the record of 15 titles, and can officially be called the greatest tennis player that ever lived.
I think that I have rambled for long enough now. Some last words: This Wimbledon was epic, definitely looking forward to the U.S. Open in August :P
Bye <3
