Demolition Man
Thanks to Ajay, I am back at blogging something here !!! Its been almost a month since i posted anything ... and I was once telling someone that they dont post so frequently :p Come to think of it, its been one of those very hectic months, where i felt being tied from 4 different directions and stretched to the limits. Strangely, its also been very enjoyable and satisfying month. No wonder, they say, only a busy man can enjoy his leisure.
On retrospect, I find this not only because I had a lot of things to handle in parallel, but also because of a slight change in the way I work. I have now consciously started to complete the important things first when I go to office. Rather, I make a point to complete atleast something before lunch. This gives me a sense of feeling of accomplishing things. And once I have taken care of the most important work for the day, the less important works somehow find a way to get done by themselves. Writing down the daily activities and finding out the most important work for the day has definitely been of great help too.
Now .. back to the demolition man about whom I have been wanting to write since a week for now !!!
I was hoping to see a very well fought match in the Australian Open final between Gonzales and Federer. And it certainly lived up to my expectations. The first set, neither of them could break eachother. It had to be decided in the tie-breaker. The second set was not so great to watch. But, i thought that Gonzales started playing better only in the third set. And his customary backhand straight drive down the line, so much similar to Federer, was visible only in the thrid set.
Both the players had similar games and thats what interested me. Both were equally good at chop shots and backhand strokes. Gonzales really had a very good run the whole week beating all big timers with class and elan. His game looked very similar to Federer and I was wanting to see how Federer changes his game to Gonzales. Federer had one thing more than Gonzales, that got him the match. It was his confidence. Gonzales for some matter I thought was very nervous playing his first Grand Slam final.
This was the 10th time these 2 were meeting, and it was Federer who won it all 10 times and this was also Federer's 10th Grand Slam win !!! Perfect 10 .. maybe.
I would want to see Gonzales play more and more games with Federer and I am sure he would one day beat Federer. Wow !!! My first prediction, lets see if it will ever come true :p
