4th Round..
Another straight sets victory today for Roger Federer. The unfortunate victim this time: Marcos Baghdatis from Cyprus. That guy put up a spirited fight in the 3rd set pushing the defending champion to a tie break with his blistering crosscourt forehands that caught Federer offguard numerous times. However, with my support and Federer's experience, Federer managed to finish off the match quickly.
As predicted, Andre Agassi will meet him in the quarter-final. It will definitely be played on Tuesday night. I really hope there will be a ladies' match first as Swiss Miss has a lecture from 3-6pm. If the match starts at 4.30pm, even if I fly home from school, I think I can be prepared to catch the last bits of the match. Urghh! I hate this. And the same lecturer has to schedule a makeup lecture on Thursday evening as well. If Federer makes it through to the semi-finals, he would be playing at that time slot yet again. Freaking lecturer. Doesn't he watch tennis? Ok, I shan't be too forward looking here. Being complacent will lead to one's downfall. One match at a time first.
Anyway, I was rather annoyed with the Sunday Times on publishing wrong information. Firstly, they mistook Daniela Hantuchova as Elena Dementieva. They published a picture of Hantuchova and labelled her as Dementieva. Secondly, they termed Dementieva a crybaby. Since when did Dementieva cry? I watched her lose in 2 grand slam finals and that girl didn't even shed a single tear. The crybaby is Vera Zvonareva, who has a habit of crying halfway through matches when playing her Russian compatriats. Also, for soccer, they mentioned something like Paul Scholes 'bundled' the ball into the net. Hello, were we watching the same match? I think I can do a much better job than the people in the sports editorial team of the Straits Times/Sunday Times. It's a real embarrassement to make such glaring mistakes on our national newspaper.
