Nadal vs. Federer

If you were not awake at 4am this Sunday and randomly tuned into ESPN2, you probably missed something great. In Melbourne, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer faced off in the final match of the 2009 Australian Open.

Nadal, the 22 year-old Spaniard, ended up beating Federer in five exciting sets of tennis. If you're not compelled by their rivalry (an in-the-middle-of-his-prime, methodically intense, although emotionless Swiss man against a passionate, talented-but-reckless Spaniard) then you probably don't like sports. Or drama. Or living.


Next time these two meet, I suggest tuning in for twenty minutes. If, after twenty minutes, you're not hooked then...well...then turn the channel, obviously. Just give men's tennis a shot. You'll thank me.
