Well worth it
I feel like a cross between a half dead drongo and a zombie this morning after staying up to watch the epic quarter final encounter between Andy Roddick and Younes El Aynaoui in the Australian Open last night. For those who have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about, it's the first grand slam tennis tournament of the year and the match between these two men was incredible.
21 - 19 in the 5th and final set with Roddick emerging the winner. (If that doesn't sound impressive, the scores of the first 4 sets were 4 - 6, 7 - 6, 4 - 6, 6 - 4. A total of 83 games were played. The minimum you need to win a match is 18 games.) How these two managed to still hit winners from all angles after almost 5 hours of superb tennis was a sight to behold. No wonder they both received a standing ovation. Well deserved. Thrilling stuff.
