Heartbreak in Melbourne
In an epic 5 set thriller, Nadal edged out Federer 7-5, 3-6, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2. It is Nadal's first hard court Grand Slam and his 6 th Grand Slam title at just 22 years of age. The two great friends and rivals played a match which was awesome. And it hurt so much to see Federer lose and sob. I wanted him to win and equal Pete Sampras ' all time record of 14 Grand Slams. It was like a kick to the gut and a punch to the heart when he lost and cried when he gave his runners-up speech. "God, it's killing me." Was what he said before he broke down. Come on Fed. Keep your chin up. You will win a hundred more Grand Slams and crush Pete Sampras ' record and make your own. Cause, you're an absolute legend and you make tennis worth watching. Even if everyone is pulling you down, ride the tide. Cause I'll be behind you all the way. Until the bittersweet end.
