Whooo Australian Open Final!

[NintenDan]

It should be over in 30 minutes, but I need sleep soon. Either way, we have Novak Djokovic (world rank 1) and Rafael Nadal (world rank 2) battling it out, and it's quite intense.

I'm hoping for Nadal to win for some unknown reason, but it's been a pretty wild match.

I'm just wondering if anybody else pays much attention to the international tennis scene? I only get this enthralled because it's on free-to-air television, all the other tournaments are all pay television.

But yeah... GOOOO NADAL PLZ WIN.

If you're quick you can watch the match unfold right now!

ARRRRGGGH DAMN YOU DJOKOVIC!

Well not really, he's actually a cool guy. I don't have the score in my head, but Djokovic beat Nadal, 3 sets to 2, so it lasted the full 5 sets, AKA really long game.

It was... *sniff* ...such a beautiful grand final! HOOOOORRRRRF!

Tennis needs more "Mario" in it....... imagine.... real life Mario specials

But yeah, great game. I wanted to see Rafael win too! (Just cause I never heard of the other guy)

I'm not a huge fan that follows every single tournament, but if it's on, I'll watch it, heh. Mario Tennis helped me decipher the strange scoring system too!

I have nobody to engage in friendly tennis matches with... so I can only watch... or play a quick round against the friendly neighbourhood wall.

According to the news I saw today the match lasted a whopping 5 hours and 53 minutes. That is absolutely HUGE for a tennis match and one must be very fit to continue running around a court for THAT long.

Yep, it was long.

And I would've watched the whole darn thing if people weren't complaining about the television being on so late. Curse my lack of portable/smaller television devices, had to resort to crappy Internet scores.
