More tennis geekiness
Yesterday, I decided to write my former roommate a letter. I had to mail him something he left in Gainesville, so I thought I would whip out the old pen and paper and start some correspondence.
It’s a lost art–letter writing. As easy as E-mail is, it could never be as good as a letter. Handwritten and concrete will almost always beat out electronic.
But, I digress. I wrote in my letter yesterday, as I gave my friend a rundown of how life has been lately, that it was too bad that Rafael Nadal had gone down in the semifinals of the Australian Open. My main concern was that I knew that Novak Djokovic was going to defeat Roger Federer. And he did! I was quite amazed. I also wrote to my friend that I thought that Djokovic would win the slam event and eventually take over Nadal’s spot as No. 2 in the world. I still stand by that statement, though begrudgingly, as Nadal is one of my two favorite players–the other is James Blake.
My point is, if I was a betting man, I would have made a pretty penny this morning. My other point is, it’s nice to have your psychic abilities/sports knowledge documented in hard copy sometimes.
Advice for today: Write more letters!
I hope to scrounge up some good online media pieces on the Open once it is all said and done.
