London , England 2009Barclays ATP World Tour Finals
It was not an awesome threesome thingy but a really triple terrible match for R.Nadal ! He lost in straight set for the three matches , concluding that he is unable to go into the semi-final level .
Group A : Roger Federer , Andy Murray , Del Potro , Fernando Verdasco
Group B : Rafael Nadal , Novak Djokovic , Nikolay Davydenko , Robin Soderling
First match : Robin Soderling defeat Rafael Nadal (6-4 , 6-4 )
I thought Rafael Nadal could rise back from this match , which is to win the other two in order to qualify for the semi-final round. But ..
Second match : Nikolay Davydenko defeat Rafael Nadal (6-1 , 7-4 )
Nikolay played really well , his stroke and serve and everything. Nadal played well too ! But , this is the result ! -Sigh
Third match : Novak Djokovic defeat Rafael Nadal (7-6 , 6-4)
This is a match to determine whether djokovic is qualify to semi-final or not . He did not , perhaps.
Semi-final : N Davydenko defeat R Federer (6-2 , 4-6 , 7-5)
J Del Potro defeat R Soderling (6-7 , 6-3 , 7-6)
Winner : Nikolay Davydenko (defeats Del Potro 6 - 3 , 6-4 )

Paris , France 2009.first/second round
Unbelievable uber-ace(s) from Rafael Nadal in Paris ! What a new achievement , right ?
Second & third round were a headache for him , with those top-form-stroke from his opponent and fast-opening ace that could easily send Nadal away in straight sets. And those opponent(s) were no match compared to Nadal's performance Last Time , winning NO sets at all ; that was . And now , they rise up and Nadal's performance IS deteriorating as though he is just some beginners in ATP .
Quarter-final
But , he manage to secure a place for himself at the quarter-finals . He played so well that the former champion in Paris , Tsonga , a frenchmen had to lose in straight set 7-5 , 7-5. Tsonga started so well , finishing the game in only 45 / 46 seconds (if my memory serves me right) . That's terrifying that I thought Nadal will completely lose his rally , his game and go back to Spain . . . But , when he achieved some ace(s) , he had back his confident to win the game .
Semi-final
I've nothing much to comment .
He bloodily lost to Djokovic in straight sets 6-2 , 6-4/3 . Djokovic is in really , tremendously top form in Nov , beating Federer last week in Switzerland.
Looking forward to ATP tour finals at London.

A few quite-amusing activities in school keep me out of the hell of boredom . Those exhilarated jumping and high-five-ing job(s) amongst team members pour their enthusiasms out. It is like as if we're finally free from everything , you know , with no screwing up results ; almost flawless in life . Still , it's not perfect in large part for me.
INTI quiz : Those in charged human divided us into ten groups , each with our renowned group's name . So , mine is something Harry (which I contemptuously accepted it -- haha ) and the group leader is , obviously , Revathy . We grabbed the third place , awarding ourselves with INTI's wristband. Tad bit of cool , ugh ?
Group members : Revathy , Hanan , Muzni , Deba , part of the malay girls , Ruth , Tharishini and me ! *
Kolam : That's when all of our team members' blood pulsing hard through our veins. Sim Yin and I take care of the most difficult work : standing in the toilet , enjoying the overwhelmed scent , derisively. It was the last few minutes before the teachers giving marks away on our kolam . We worked quickly and give final touches on our thingy , hoping to win ! We actually made a peacock where Joanne called it a big cock ; sigh . We secured a place at no.3 , getting a pen .
Group members : Sze Hong , Hui Min , Sim Yin , Joanne Hoh , Azell , Sasha , Abhirami , Leng May , Wendy , Sheau Jye and me ! *
Sketch : sarcastic english sketch . We're hired : to do a simple sketch regarding health/love thingy / social thingy / science and technology . Jasmine and I suggested that we should go for science and technology . Our idea was : Since there's 8 ppl in our group , everyone (planets) orbit around the Sun . Unfortunately , the planets clashed and crushed with the Sun , causing Tsunami . But it didnt work since everyone was hectic whinging about our 'great' idea. So , we did health and placing our group name at the third place . We got a medium-sized hamper !
Group members : Jasmine , Joanne , Sasha , Azell , Ain , Mia , Sim Yin and me !
SERENADING TIME !
Okay , I love my band mates : Joanne Hoh (lead singer)
Jasmine (pianist)
Jing Han (guitarist)
Joeyee ! (guitarist)
We played the first song : fall for you as a performance for form3's programme . Well , it's great , I guess :) and we didnt hope to tip for stardom . and here we rise from there :
Pn.Nurul asked us to perform for Hari 'Q' . She encouraged us to play You are not alone - MJ . We agree halfheartedly cause it's really difficult to play and it doesnt suit for the day !
practise , practise , practise . Seems that everyone is getting bored.
On the rehearsal day , we told datin nurul that it's not suitable to play that song on that day . So , we've no choice and change the song immediately . Wooo hooo , on that day when all the VIP was sitting at their seat , we went to the stage in our very formal costume with black and white only ; tremendously elegant . Ha Ha ! We did it ! though we're fiddling our hands before the performance . Its maybe , not a fluke cause we work for it , band mates ! :)
We're performing again on Monday for Datin's retirement ... Let's wait and see if it's awesome !
* represents sorry to those who I did not mention their name in the group ..
