6 July 2008, Wimbledon. I should have seen this. I really should have. I don't know why I didn't. But I do know now why people say regret comes only in the end.As such, I can only relive the high drama through prose.

Dispatches: A Post-Wimbledon Dialogue
The Death of Wanting
This is sportswriting-cum-commentating at its most poetic. Nothing ensnares and enraptures as much as a beautifully spun yarn about a battle of mythic proportions (which actually took place just this weekend and is now entrenched in the annals of sports history).
Nothing.. Except maybe seeing the action play out in real life. Or, okay, on low-fi cable TV, as the case would have been.
Well, anyway. All hail Rafa, all hail The Fed! Long live the quintessential kings of tennis!

I'm sorry but I don't know a person of that name. I lived in Daejeon City. Where does he live? But you know, his name sounds familiar. Did he study in Southernside Montessori during his elementary years?
the name is gary pala, not gerard/gerald. he's also from UP (chem engg). he's at seoul uni daw pala. dunno about southernside, though.
