I'm about to celebrate my anniversary as a tennis fan. lol. What better way to celebrate it than flood my blog with tennis pictures. lol. Just in my kindergarten stage, eh? I first saw tennis when Djokovic was playing at last year's Beijing Olympics. He won the Bronze medal but he was happier than Rafa who won Gold at that time. He was like a kid, grinning non-stop. I had to write his name on my wall so i won't forget it. lol.
So I'll just write down my favorite matches my almost 1-year old tennis eyes have seen so far.
Novak Djokovic - Bronze Medal, Summer Beijing Olympics.
Serena Williams and Jelena Jankovic - Women's Singles Finals - US Open 2008
- Fell in love with yet again another Serb. lol. Great match! It was JJ's first Grandslam championship.

| Roger Federer SUI (2) |  | 4 | 64 | 6 | 6 | 6 | ||||||||||
^^ Roger Federer vs. Tomas Berdych - 4th Round; Australian Open 2009
Fed was down 2 sets and only a true champ can still rise up and eventually conquer the whole game.
Rafael Nadal vs. Fernando Verdasco - SF Australian Open 2009
- the longest match in the history of Australian Open. 5 hours and 11 minutes If I'm not mistaken. it was so fun to watch the two Spaniards fought their way til the end. They still had enerygy after the 5th hour. Oh the murdered bananas. lol. and the hug at the end was so friggin cute!. and Nando's hair remained unmoved after the game. lol.
Novak Djokovic vs. David Ferrer - Dubai Open Finals.
- Nole won the tournament! thank God for internet streaming!
Madrid Open 2009: Roger Federer vs. Rafa Nadal
- every match of these two is always memorable.: Fed won!
and I just love this pic!
Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal - Australian Open 2009
- two words. Fed's speech.
aaawwww
Soderling vs. Federer
French Open 2009 Finals.
- it was quite a boring match but the fact that Fed put his name in history that night made it spectacular.
and again, the SPEECH!
he gives the best speeches
Elena Dementieva vs. Serena Williams - Wimbledon 2009 Women's Singles SF -
the best ladies match I've ever seen! Daddy Williams even took his hats off for her daughter's extraordinary showcase of talent. I could feel Dementieva's fear and anxeity when Serene screams like this. lol.
Federer vs. Roddick - Wimbledon 2009 Men's Singles Finals -
waaaaaah. Thank God for Youtube. I only saw the replay.
16-14 on the final set?
woah!
Still bummed that I wasn't able to see it live.
Stupid wifi malfunctions.

Congrats, Fed!
suddenly missed my big black couch in my room back home. The one where I would sit comfortably while watching tennis on TV with a sandwhich and coke by my side. (
