O.M.F.G.

I am WATCHING THIS LIVE (I'm in Perth, I'm probably getting some sort of delayed telecast)!
Currently watching Nadal v Federer! Guys! Guys! Guys! OMFG!
- It is 4 / 5 5 all 6 / 5 7 / 5 (Nadal / Federer), first set.
- I DON'T KNOW WHO I WANT TO WIN THIS?! GUYS! GUYS!
- OMFG! ROGER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! FIGHT DAMN IT! FIGHT!

- 2nd SET; 0 / 1 1 /2 2 all (Nadal / Federer) [I am getting really, really, really STRESSED! OMFG! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME IF THIS LASTS FOR 5 HOURS? HELL, WHAT IF THIS DOESN'T LAST FOR 5 HOURS?] 3/2 (Nadal / Federer) [Oh bugger. ROGER! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!] 3 all (Nadal / Federer). [But SERIOUSLY WTF?! GUYS, YOU ARE FUCKING BETTER THAN THIS. Just HELL!] 3/4 (Nadal / Federer) [Also, COMMENTATORS, STOP WITH THE FUCKING DOOM and GLOOM! My poor little heart can't handle it.] But seriously, Roger, you need to win the mental battle. Also, NADAL! I'm starting fear for your body. PLEASE BE OK! 3/5 (Nadal / Federer). 3/6!!!! 1 set ALL!

- 3rd set. 2/1 (Nadal / Federer) It seems like Federer is picking up his game. 2 all. YES! 3/2 (Nadal / Federer). OMFG! Nadal, you are fecking awesome, just omfg! You are so awesome. That was some amazing tennis. 3 all. 4/3 (Nadal / Federer). 4 all (Nadal / Federer), no comments, too busy, watching tennis. VOLLEY! ACE! SET! OMFG! 5/4 (Nadal / Federer). This sport is such a psychological sport. Oh gods, this must be so fucking with Federer's mind. Seriously, Nadal looks slightly less sparkly. 5 all. 6/5 (Nadal / Federer). 6 all. This tie breaker is going to kill me. Over 3 hours of play now. 7/6 (Nadal / Federer). Oh bugger, Federer is in trouble... unless he can win the next set, in which case it is going to be awesome.

- 4th set. 2 all. So very tense. 2/3 (Nadal / Federer), that was epic (7 deuces). 2/5, 3 hours 42 mins. 3/6. And we are going into a 5th set.

- 5th set. OMFG! Just OMFG! Nadal. OMFG! NADAL! YOU DESERVE IT!

- Award presentation; Oh gods, I CRIES! Roger! *HUGS*. Australia LOVES you, you and your tears! And Nadal! OMFG! Boy, you deserved that win, you need to enjoy this. *CLINGS*. It was an awesome match, just so very awesome. I LOVE you guys.

“This is sport but it is also theatre.” - Jim Courier you are so in love.
And this, my friend, is WHY I love single men’s tennis.

Haha, sadly I am watching this too out of one eye. I wasn't aware you were into real tennis! Maybe I just blocked it out?

I'm slightly obsessive about Federer and Nadal matches. Though I get fairly mad about Roddick matches as well. Not being able to watch any of the Australian Open live this year has made bite my nails like mad. I have the tv in front of me and I'm making screaming sounds every few seconds depending on what happens. I only really talk about tennis when the grand slams come around. Wimbledon makes me SQUEE!

Is it a relatively new obsession, or long-standing? And where'd you get the TV from? :D

It's my unfortunate fate to live with tennis fanatics - first my mum, now my new housemate. At least it's an understandable game though, unlike cricket or football or hockey. I went for a couple of hours the first week because my mum was here in Australia for it this year, and I could follow who was winning without having to ask. Always a plus.

I have always liked tennis (about 12 years or so), watched every match Sampras and Agassi played it (actually that was when I was first introduced to Federer and I remember him being long-haired brat who threw rackets around). After Sampras tennis became slightly boring, Federer made it interesting but it wasn't till last year when he and Nadal started to play phenomenal tennis that I have got obsessive about.

I am so jealous of you! Cricket bores me, it doesn't push the human body in any way, shape or form. Hockey looks interesting, but I have never seen a full match, and football bores me.
