Feeling angry...

I just had to vent how frustrated I am right now about the World Tour Finals. Del Potro just beat Federer 6-2 6-7 6-3 and both have them have got through to the semis, but if Del Potro had won the last set 6-4 instead of 6-3 then Murray would have qualified instead of Del Potro. How can getting through come down to four points?! It seems ridiculous! I know rules are rules and that if Andy had got through I would have been pleased, although then I still would have felt that Del Potro was hard done by.

I don't know if it's ever come down to one game before in the tournament previously, but it seems a very unfair system. I guess it won't ever change as long as the tournament is played in a round robin format though, so I'll just have to accept it. Grrr...

Rafa answered my question!

I am very excited right now as I just saw that Rafa answered my question on his Times Online blog. Here it is:

What do you think of the crowd being in the dark at the O2 and all the focus on the court?
Lisa, London

RN: Funny, you are right. I think the court and the stadium looks really great.

Here's the link to the post.

I know it might not seem like a very big deal to some people but I think it's awesome as it means I've communicated with Rafa! :) I actually got to see him play at the O2 on Monday against Soderling, and even though Rafa lost 6-4 6-4, it was still great to see my hero in person!

I also saw Verdasco vs. Federer and Djokovic vs. Davydenko, but I'll write about the whole O2 experience when I have more time.

Yesterday I set up a youtube channel to go with this blog: http://www.youtube.com/user/hitittennis so check it out!
