I’ve been always trying to tell myself it was not my fault. Well, yeah, the truth is I am not the one who should be responsible for this, I’m not good enough. To him, I’m just this random person with obsession for tennis and him which so many other people out there do.
It’s been almost 2 years that I sit there and watch Andy Roddick playing tennis matches. Lying in the couch I cross my fingers for him day in and night out. Been watched him kissing the cup he deserved and cheered for him. But also been watched him leave the court he loves so many times that I even didn’t weep this time. Yah, I am so in love with him that it nearly killed me.
As usual, I went to the chapel that morning. I didn’t fell sleep because I was afraid that the Lord would punish me and bring him bad luck. I whispered the pray for him. My Jesus Lord, please bring Andy a brilliant victory as you may find he is the person who deserves that. Over and over I said that in my heart. Lord would have got that. Lord helped Roger to throne last year and this year the throne should be passed to Andy.
Turn on the telly, Andy had already got 2 games advanced. This is so gonna be your year, I thought. I was so charmed by the way he tossed the ball and served it with full strength and energy and the way he did the early swing and brushed the back of the ball with passion. Hewitt was being quiet today. I knew he was shocked by Andy. The four aces in a row in the second set were stunning. Andy was the point guy in this game. He was playing the way he wanted and controlled the game in the way he wanted.
But as time moving on, Andy was becoming more and more vulnerable. Things like last year’s the Master Cup happened again. He was just standing there watching the green ball passed over his head. ‘Move!’ I shouted. I couldn’t read his mind but I knew he had given up.
My lessons started as the tie break in the second set began. Eurosports said the record of this two playing tie break was 3-0. 0 belonged to Andy. I didn’t expect the record to be 5-0. It is so heart breaking when I launched the scoreboard after lessons and saw the game was over and Andy’s Australian Open was over, too. My watch was so accurate that I can set my heart by it. It stopped when I saw the result.
I didn’t know what happened after the second set. Not like last time, I watched him played the whole match and gave up step by step. This time, in my heart, I believed that he fought till the end. Well, what I believed didn’t change the truth was that he did give up. But I just want to keep the faith in Andy. I trust him.
And there is one thing that I believed and I need to tell Andy. Next time when you are playing Hewitt don’t wear black again. Think about it, the black shirt in TMC and the black shirt this time. And promise us, your loyal fans, you will never give up again.
I asked the magic 8 ball last night, “Will Andy Roddick be No.1 player in the world again?” The magic 8 ball said, ”It will in due time.” I believe in this prophecy as I believe in Andy.
恩，修改了一些小错误的版本。
