The Walk of Life

Hi! friends, haven't been blogging for a week! Sorry for not visiting or even replying to your comments! Well. we were being kept very very busy by my sisters-in-law! Ever since the return of the lively Ruby, it was a week of Food, Food, Food and more Food! We had two Birthday Celebrations and lots of lunch and dinners invitation right up to Ruby's departure two days ago!

On top of all these we were watching the US Open every night up till the wee hours in the morning and waking up late! If you folks have been following the US Open, you would have noticed a drop in performance by the World Number 1, Rafael Nadal! Even from the Beijing Olympics Gold Medal Match, I noticed a drop in Nadal's Performance! He is not so sharp, not so quick and overall quite a lack lustre performance.

Yesterday's Semi-finals with Andrew Murray exposed Nadal's weaknesses and his lethargic play! Somehow the 'Fire' in this great Champion is wanning! It was lucky for Nadal that the rain came or else I don't think he could have won the 4th Set and he was 2 Sets down! The Match was postponed to today and hopefully Nadal reviewed his mediocre performance as compared to Andrew Murray and come-up with a more strategic game plan. It was obvious that Nadal was loosing in his favorite base-line play to Andrew who had a superior 1st Serve and fantastic powerful down the line shots that caught Nadal scampering from side to side! At this point in time I cannot see Nadal beating Roger Federal even if he is lucky enough to beat Andrew Murray!

I guess I should be back in full force blogging after the finals of the US Open! thanks for your comments and looking forward to do some blog hopping soon! Meanwhile, stay healthy and happy!
