I have been watching Australian open almost every night. Last night (Feb 1, 2009) was the men single final. The match was between Nadal versus Federer. Federer is one grand slam away to tally the number of grand slam won by previous champion Pete Sampras.
However, Federer went down especially the last 2 sets. He made way too many mistakes and he looked very upset during the final set. Eventually, Nadal won!
During the trophy ceremony, Federer broke down and cried. I guess I can understand the feeling. All the effort to get into final, and yet he lost it. So near yet so far!
I hope he will collect one more grand slam soon. If he is not doing this sooner, it's getting tougher and tougher as they are better and younger players coming up.
