God was busy .... watching

Earlier I thought of putting the title as "Oh My God" but then I thought of weirdest way of saying that -- one you heard from F.R.I.E.N.D.S. -- and words on such talented gentleman doesn't deserve that kind of stuff even to their rarest imagination. Hope this one can do justice to their show.

If yesterday your were paying your evening visit to temple and wondered that the great gentleman is buffering your pray -- that may be because he was busy watching his two finest sports invention creating those unbelievable points which would require every writer to update his dictionary in order to to justice with their talent. On the contrary few others might have got some extra time of their life !

This article and the writer may not be able to do the justice what he watched for nearly 5 hours of live and 7 hours of continuous excitement that lasted till 2 AM in India. - A play that amazing and destructive that can kill any sleeping nerve in your imagination and body. But on the other side they earn few words from each of us -- that's the debt we should pay.

A match so amazing and beyond one's imagination which can rewrite the tennis manual erasing some of the warning or don't - A match so unbelievable still so real that might have won more game fan than player supporter - A match so legendary in itself that every one who is part if it in direct or indirect way; should feel proud and privileged.

It was the fight of champions - the fight of Class v/s Power -- cleverness v/s accuracy -- archery v/s commitment -- inventor v/s creator. In the last the better man won but not without tested on each nerve and on every corner -- ending the matching on the note which will make every one feel happy disregard of the fact which side there were on.

If you believed the popular myth, the cheapest flight fuel in sports is hunger; many a fabled take-off might been energized by nothing more than an athlete’s burning desire. But its not -- not that simple. Its that rarest fuel in sports which when injected to the right engine works as the nitrogen cylinder.

As the game progress their fearless play reminded those quotes from history his they made live on few points in the match. Like Federer attack on 3rd & 4th Set reminded me "When going gets tough, tough gets going" or that Federer backhand cross court return on 4th set tie breaker while he was facing a championship point -- which felled beautifully inside the court catching Nadal on the wrong foot -- reminded "Fortune favours the brave", and the countless time prove -- by there fearless play -- of the fact that "Champion takes chances. Pressure is privilage"

Finally after 5 hours of magic, 122nd Wimbledon final on an open center court with huge windy situation and two rain interruption - a true test of nerve & talent -- is won by World No #2 "Rafeal Nadal" (Score reads as 6-4, 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-7(8), 9-7 ) making his bid for World No# 1 even stronger this year. First defeat of Federer on grass in 6 years. A monopoly is broken!
