I had given a mock interview today and for the first time in a formal attire. The questions poured in: 'Climate of vizag', 'Climatic difference between pune and vizag' and so on. I started off well. But then got a little uncomfortable when the topic changed to MBA oriented questions. I blundered on a question that asked whether I had done any unstructured jobs. I said that I hated them. I tried my best to be conscious about my body language esp not moving my hands too much.
The feedback was positive but then my voice turned out to be a mixture of highs and lows i.e. extreme modulation. My facial expression depicted a prof teaching with his/her brows coming close. So my interview turned up pretty eventful except for two or three areas of improvement. But, it turned out to be miniscule before the Rafa and Fernando match.
The five and quater hour epic battle witnessed glorious ground strokes and amazing winners. The two players must have covered every inch of the court. Fernando had solid flattening returns that helped him make 95 winners in the match. Nadal was rather playing safe and hardly ever went for the broke. But when he went he won many crucial points. Both the players turned out to be the fittest on the curcuit. After 4 hrs into the semi final Nadal ran all around the court and played as if it is the first point. At 40-30 Nadal serving, Verdasco played some agressive strokes that made nadal run to either ends of the court but then in the moments of surrender, Nadal found an amazing return that lead a standing ovation for that single point. Verdasco's double fault ended the match in Nadal's pocket.

Verdasco on Nadal :
"You need to win the point against him three or four times more than against all the other players. Anyway, there are so good players like Federer, Murray, Roddick, Blake, whatever, all the top players. With Rafa you need to win the point three times more than with all the others.
He have unbelievable legs. He run unbelievable. Anyway, he's taking the ball, you know, like so difficult. I think that he always have a chance to put the ball in unbelievable places"
My Take on Fed ex vs Nadal :
Though, I am a Nadal fan, my five is for Fedex. If he plays like the quarters and semis then there is no stopping him.Simply because the surface is too fast for Nadal to cover. Secondly, because Nadal is tired after this five setter.
