I was so disappointed in Astro. I was waiting eagerly to watch the matchup between Roger Federer and Juan Martin Del Potro to be shown live. Andy Murray won his earlier match against Verdasco and whoever qualifies for the semi will very much depend on the outcome of this match. But instead of showing the match live, Astro decided to show live broadcast of NFL match. Seriously, how many of us watch American Football when it's not even popular game in the country. How many even play American Football here?! I had to go online, watching it on my small little screen. Then I thought, 'Won't it be cool if I hooked it up on my LCD?'. So I went on and give it a try, adjusted the screen to fit the LCD and it worked! Checked this out:
Anyway, Federer managed to level the set to 1-1. With that, Federer is safely thru the semi even if he loses the match. Del Potro however had to win the set by 6-3 or better. And he did. Finishing off Federer 6-2, 6-7(5), 6-3. This is the 2nd straight lost for Federer to Del Potro after the US Open upset win. Federer, Del Potro and Murray had the same 2-1 win records and the same number of sets won in the group, therefore it all came down to the number of games won. Federer tops it 44-40, Del Potro pips Murray by just a game at 45-43 (Murray,44-43) How close was that.
Astro charged an extra RM12 for those with Sports Channels and make us watch something in which majority of the people in the nation don't watch at all. Come on, the channels are not even in HD yet.
