Sunday morning with Mac and Rafael


I enjoy watching tennis on TV. That is,... if I'm feeling really lazy, it happens to be on, and the remote is just a little too far away (I feel the same way about bowling, baseball, NASCAR, fishing shows, "Law & Order," and "The Gilmore Girls," by the way). Let's just say I don't normally make a habit of getting up at 6am on Sunday mornings to watch it. But, when Mac woke up at 5:30 this morning, I had a choice. I could watch cartoons, infomercials, or tennis. I chose tennis. As it turns out, it was the finals of the French Open with #1 Roger Federer vs. #2 Rafael Nadal. We alrighty then! At least we've got some heavy hitters. Let's get ready for five hours of hitting that ball back and forth really, really hard. I do love playing tennis, though. So it was quite impressive to see the two best players in the world battle it out. For those who follow tennis, Nadal was in control most of the match and won in four sets, extending his clay court winning streak to 34. His topspin is just dominating on clay.
