Day 16 – Rod Laver.

Day 2 of the tennis and as soon as I woke up I didn’t want the day to end. Unfortunately Murray was playing on Hisense today… if only my tickets were the other way around! I can’t be too annoyed though as I have seen him before and I get to see Nadal who I haven’t.



MATCH 1 - Cibulkova V Sharapova
I can’t quite remember if this is the same pairing my dad and I saw a few years ago at Wimbledon, either way it was quite an interesting game. Obviously I was routing for the underdog Cibulkova who is seeded 20th compared to Sharapova who is seeded 3rd. My luck paid off and Cibulkova won!



MATCH 2 - Stephens V Azarenka
Azarenka pretty much thrashed Stephens in a pretty dull match where I found my kindle slightly more interesting. Talking of books, I finished the first Hunger Games book today (I know I’m late to the party) and thoroughly enjoyed it which I didn’t think I would, onto the next!


MATCH 3 - Nadal V Nishikori
This match I wasn’t really routing for either, in a way I was thinking Nishikori because it might be easier for Murray, also like earlier I enjoy seeing the underdog win and what a good fight he put up! He did not make it an easy and clean fight for Rafael Nadal to win!

Two sets were tie breaks and the other was 7-5, at one point Rafa fell over and snapped his shoe laces, they both had medical treatment and it lasted for just over 3 hours with Nishikori looking like he might steal a set with quite a few break points.
