After watching the US Open semifinal between Rafael Nadal & Andy Murray the other night with lots of excellent tennis duels, I was very excited about the final between the Scotsman and Roger Federer. Well it wasn't that much of a fight, Federer was just so much better in relative terms, probably just playing his normal solid game. Murray looked like a loser already from the first shot. I think that he wasn't mentally ready for a Grand Slam Final and he also had a tougher game the day before, beating Nadal. So big difference to watch him in these 2 matches. Federer is a fantastic tennis player, but not as fun to watch as Nadal. To much of a predictable robot, even if he's shown some human weaknesses lately. 5 straight US Open trophies is anyhow mega respect!! Instead I love to watch Nadal playing. Very energetic and powerful. Great biceps for a tennisplayer and he also looks very cool on the court, like coming straight from the beach. It would have been great see him play against King Gustav V (if time machines would work).
It was hard to stay awake when the tennis wasn't on the expected top level. Nothing like the Wimbledon final over 5 sets this summer. Probably the best match I've ever seen.
I joined Jörgen, Janne & Hans for a game of doubles during the evening, acting as a stand-in in their regular set-up. That was the 3rd time during the last month and it is good fun. The ground strokes get better and better for each occasion, but I would need to play some more singles to become more consistent and build up some confidence in my volley.
I also need to have a revenge game with Micke S to put things right again. No friendly merciness this time. Just kill him!
I've lost some enthusiasm for blogging lately, so I will take a timeout for a while. To many other things to do and I am already spending to much time in front of the computer. So if you wonder what I'll be doing instead, I hope that the answ...
Vasaloppet 2009 is over. Very impressive results from a MC-gang perspective. 8 out of 8 succesfull finishers. My conclusion from a general view is that is all about mindset and mental power. OK OK OK, some physical abilites as well. The strongest ach...
Ready to hit the ski tracks tomorrow morning. The temperature is perfect, around -10 to -5 degrees. We have tried the tracks up around Smågan this afternoon and it's fabulous conditions. Now we are hoping for a day tomorrow without any snowfall. ...
Yes, the flu has left my system. It has really helped to empty my body from all kind of energy reserves the last 4-5 days. If I remember correct according to some old body charging theories, it's good to clean out and empty your body, before star...
Time is flying in supersonic speed, so it's good to reflect back now and then, to get a picture of what's happening in life. That's why I now and then take a glimse back in some files to check what was going on the year or years before at...
