Devastating best

Apparently, there has been a big hoo-ha over Nadal's new look in the Australian Open. Usually playing in his tight sleeveless shirt and trademark 3/4 pants, he has traded that for a more conventional look albeit the striking colours. Personally, I like it. Firstly, the colours compliment each other and more importantly, it hides his biceps so we all can feel much better about ourselves.

But that's not the point of this entry. I just watched his 3rd round match and I am blown away. Make no mistake, I'm a Federer fan myself.

Maybe you guys wont appreciate it as much as I do but the way he demolished his opponent was mind boggling. Mind you that poor guy on the other side of the court is no slouch himself. Nadal was reaching to balls where no players could and belting out winners from ridiculous angles. The ultimate statistic was this. In the 2nd set, he made 16 winners and 1 unforced error. ONE!! How is that even humanly possible?! It is unheard of in the modern game for a player to be striking the ball that immaculately.

And oh, Ana lost. To this totally tak hello TTM(amasham Amy) punye player. Thanks man.
Nevermind, continue the fist pumping girl!
