I know you want to know everything that’s running through my head as I watch the Djokovic/Nadal quarterfinal match, so here it is. My thoughts on the first set:
1. It’s already 3-0?
2. Cool, my parents’ DirectTV login works. Thanks, mom.
3. I have to say, Nadal is really starting to bald.
4. Okay, I’ve watched two points and Djokovic is absolutely not losing this.
5. Yay, coworkers figured out how to put it on the big TV.
6. Nooo the TV is freezing.
7. Everyone in the stands is wearing chic hats.
8. Okay, Rafa might win his first game here.
9. There ya go, bud. You go on with your bald self.
10. What is Djokovic drinking? Something pink in an Evian bottle. Is it Pepto-Bismol?
11. It’s like I want Rafa to win so he can get 10, but then I also want Djokovic to get his first French. Torn.
12. Oh damn Nadal. 4-2 Djokovic.
13. Okay, I take back what I said about Djokovic not losing. Nadal is not losing either.
14. Wait it’s Nadal’s birthday?
15. Oh, he’s not losing on his birthday.
16. That’d be the worst.
17. Like, literally the worst.
18. Either way, he’s getting hammered tonight.
19. I keep forgetting this is a quarterfinal match. This is definitely going to be better than the finals.
20. Oh my god, Djokovic. How do you miss a winner that easy?
21. Nadal is quietly singing, “happy birthday to me.”
22. I imagine.
23. Whoa, whoa, whoa. 4-3.
24. Oh, damn. Nadal is up 40-love.
25. Ace.
26. BYE FELICIA.
27. I love saying that. It’s applicable in so many situations.
28. I forget Nadal has lost one match here in the last nine years. That’s insane.
29. Changed my mind for sure. Nadal is winning this.
30. Let’s be real, I’ll probably change my mind five more times.
31. I can’t pick a side.
32. Djokovic looks real sad. Like sad puppy status.
33. Is he eating olives?
34. Now he’s opening a brand new racket. Straight out of the bubble wrap.
35. 5-4 Djokovic.
36. 30-all. Nadal is serving.
37. Omg Djokovic might win this set. 40-30.
38. Omg. Omg. Omg. I can’t believe this is only the first set.
39. Deuce.
40. This is the game that never ends …
41. OMG it’s 5 all.
42. Nadal is serving at 5-6. So this is definitely going into a tiebreak.
43. The olives reappear!
44. He is chewing those olives so pensively.
45. I’m not actually positive they’re olives.
46. The longest rally was 21 shots.
47. That’s also the number of shots Nadal will take tonight on his birthday.
48. Oh my gosh. Djokovic is up 40-30.
49. OMG it’s deuce.
50. Nadal is so adorable when he wins a point.
51. Ah no, first set Djokovic.
52. It’s okay, Rafa.
53. I know you’re going to have a good birthday.
54. Stay tuned for more thoughts …
