Disappointing lose, encouraging shirt

Oh.My.God.! I haven't written a post in ages! I am very sorry for this. Many things have happened in tennis since I stopped writing. For example, the lattest thing is the Tokyo final between Andy Murray and Rafa Nadal.

I am sure the end of the match was more than unbelievable for everyone who watched. Not the fact that Murray has taken the trophy away from Nadal, because his game has been solid all the past week, he was strong and he hit the ball right everytime. But the fact that, after winning the first set (6-3), Nadal lost the second set (2-6) and the decisive set, with 0-6 (!). That was the part I could not believe. Well, it happens to the best of us, doesn't it?

What I liked a lot and felt like I had to mention it, was Rafa's shirt at the trophy presentation. "Every day is a chance for VICTORY." One of the most beautiful messages I have heard lately. Both players today had the same chance. Only one of them was able to take it. Nadal has another chance next week, at the Shanghai Masters, to take revenge, if they both get into the final. But let's not forget Andy has got the same chance. :)
