Novak - No-one to stop him !

It wasn't a great australian open final. Novak did not get an opponent who could give him a fight. He got andy murray in straight sets 6-4, 6-2 and 6-3. He defeated federer enroute which has given everyone a feeling that this is truly a change of guard from the aging federer. Federer has vowed to come back like a true warrior. I would have loved to see andy murray win, but after this match i would rather say - Id love to see andy murray play a better "mental" game. He has got all the shots he needs to win a match but connecting the dots is what he is missing now. It will take a year or more for him to learn this. & Novak already seems to have realised how to do this. So great job Nole !

A year gone by ?!

The last time i recorded my thought here was a year back. Not that i have not been thinking throughout 2010 ;-)
Its the australian open finals tomorrow and my thoughts are with andy murray. If he can collect himself and be strong mentally and take one point at a time and focus only on getting that point, he should be comfortable in winning his first grand slam !! Not that im against djokovic, infact i would have favoured him if he played against nadal or federer at the minute. Purely because it helps the sport to have a mixture of winning players rather than have just 2 players taking away the medals all the time.
This is very trivial compared to state of indian politics. Good thing first is that we have a few ppl actively campaigning for good to prevail. The evil that the 2G scam has brought upon us should hopefully be removed. State elections first. Fingers crossed ! May sense prevail !!
Finished my first 5km race today in close to 30 minutes and my knees are sore already :(
How will i ever realize my dream of running the 27 km marathon :-p
& officially retiring from playing leatherball cricket. Just to save my shoulders and preserve it for atleast some tennis in 2011.
Cant wait to get to india for my sis's marriage. 2 more days to go !! jolly !
& late wishes but still a very happy new year 2011 to all !
