Vamos Rafa!

It's been far too long coming but at last we have the chance to see Rafa biting a trophy.





It was a tough match to watch for this Rafa fan. The first set was awesome, with Rafa playing aggresively and capitalising on Djokovic's nerves. That was fun to watch. The second was a different story, though. Rafa faced too many break points for my fragile nerves to take but managed to hold on every time. I'm sure my waving of the Mallorcan flag at the TV was what made the difference at these crucial times.

Just when I began to fear a period behind the settee for the tiebreak, though, Rafa toughed it out to break serve. I'm not sure whether I actually breathed during the final game. It wasn't easy watching with everything crossed.

But he did it! It's hard to describe just how happy I am for him at the moment. I just can't stop smiling.

Here's to a few more like that this year.
