US Open started airing yesterday via USA channel. Of course, Rafael Nadal is at the center of the show. For the first time, a grand slam tennis tournmanent showed Nadal's game in the first round. Yes, that's the exposure you get when you are No. 1 in the world.
I remember the date - July 8, 2007 - Nadal lost to Roger Federer at Wimbledon. It was a sad bad day for Nadal. But the irony of it is that it was a joyful glorious day for Federer. That day is written in tennis history: Federer claimed his fifth Wimbledon victory.
Fast forward to now: Nadal is on top of the world -- French, Wimbledon, Olympics, and the number one ranking in the world. No one can beat that. And I'm sure it is very exhilarating and scary to be in that position. Will US Open trophy be next? Everyone is watching.
About TVmomma:
I created this blog a few years back when I used to watch television 14 hours a day. I was getting highly-opinionated with what I see on TV and I wanted to spare my husband from my rantings so I thought of blogging about them instead.
I have called TV as my amusement park -- right in my own home. But now, things have changed and my TV viewing has been limited. I still post on this blog but only when I felt so strongly about what I've seen, and when I have the time.
For reprint and for anything else, please leave a message on the comment area. Thank you.
