Punt after Punt for both the Falcons and the Patriots left the 1st Quarter scoreless.
The Falcons then went on a 21-0 run and dug a 25-point hole for the Patriots to be ahead 28-3 in the 3rd. The Patriots answered with a Touchdown but missed the Field Goal (FG) kick to reach 9-28.
The Patriots went on a roll in the 4th and although they were unable to make it to the endzone, they got the score to 12-28, never quit and went after each play.
I think the turning point of the game was a rookie mistake by Falcons’ QB Matt Ryan and their coach not to run the ball when they were in FG range that led to a fumble and him getting sacked. They missed the chance of a 3-point cushion that would have sealed the deal for them. The Patriots already have the record for the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history versus the Seahawks, where Falcon’s Head Coach, Dan Quinn was on Seahaeks’ coaching staff and the Seahawks lost after they did not run the ball. Quinn clearly did not learn his lesson. So now the Patriots had a chance to tie the game with a Touchdown and run for 2 which they achieved.
Another highlight and defining moment was the Patriots’ Julian Edelman’s catch off a defender’s shoe. He had been double teamed by defenders all night and was surrounded by 3 defenders for that play and was finally able to make a spectacular catch. That definitely pumped up their esteem and deflated that of the Falcons.
Then of course, Tom Brady went on a roll. After underthrowing then overthrowing the ball all night, he finally got his mojo back after erasing a 25-point deficit. Which star QB wouldn’t?!  The game was now tied at 28-28 with 57s left in the final quarter after a 19-0 run.
Falcons failed to reach FG range and for the first time in Super Bowl history, the game would go into Overtime (OT).
Patriots had the option to choose first and won the coin toss. The current OT rules give both teams the opportunity to possess the ball at least once in OT unless the team that receives the OT kickoff scores a touchdown on its first possession.
So, if the team that received the OT kickoff, which would be the Patriots scored on its first possession, they would the winner.
Brady’s pass to James White created a 2 yard TD run in OT and just like that the Patriots won 34-28, the largest comeback in Super Bowl history.
James White scored 3 TDs and a 2-pointer. Tom Brady scored a record 466 yards, 2 TDs and got his 5th ring and Bill Belichick is now the 1st Coach with 5 Super Bowl Crowns.
Well done Patriots. Well done. A win well deserved. Congrats to Tom Brady, Belichick and the Patriots!

A few weeks ago I had the Steamed Fish from 100 that came with mashed potatoes, vegetables and water crackers. Some more pepper was needed but it was satisfying nonetheless.
Since the Olympics last summer, the service and food at 100 has really improved and I now enjoy going, especially to watch sports on the biggest HDTV Video Wall on the Island.
Suga endorses 100 for Super Bowl LI!

1st and 2nd Sets
After both men were a set a piece, Federer dominant in the 1st, 6-4 and Nadal dominant in the 2nd, 6-3, it was all about Federer in the 3rd.
3rd Set
Federer was seeing the ball early and was phenomenal. The commentators said Federer was just pushing Nadal around.
Nadal held serve to get on the board in the 3rd set at 3-1 and it was not easy as Roger came back from 40-love saving 3 break points and they went back and forth after that until Nadal finally held serve.
Roger held serve easily after that to go up 4-1.
Nadal went back on serve and was not giving Federer the set easily but Roger had 2 spectacular shots back to back with his backhand to convert breakpoint at 5-1.
At that point Nadal sent 3 racquets to be restrung. The commentators joked they may not get back in time.
Then Roger was up to serve for the set. His forehand got him out of drouble at 30-40. He later failed to convert set point. It went back to deuce. He hit a ball long to give Nadal the advantage and served well to save it and go on to win the 3rd set, 6-1.
4th Set
Nadal started on serve in the 4th and held. The crowd was behind him even more.
Roger held serve easily to bring it to 1-1.
Nadal held easily to go up 2-1 than Roger had 2 bad misses on his serve creating an
opening for Nadal at love-30 and Nadal broke Federer early to go up 3-1.
Roger’s level of precision dipped on both his forehand and backhand since the bad miss in the previous game and it pushed Nadal to 40-15. He got a good forehand back to push it to 40-30 then he went on to push it to deuce. Nadal eventually closed out a tough service game with a shot that looked impossible to make to get to 4-1.
Roger served out a tough service game to put some scoreboard pressure on Nadal. Nadal now led 4-2 then pushed it to 5-2 with a love game followed by another to win the 4th set.
5th Set
After Federer took a Trainer’s time out,
Nadal broke his serve at the start of the 5th.
Nadal definitely started hiting the ball harder and at that point Federer would have to raise the level of his game to beat Nadal in the 5th.
The crowd got behind Federer and he thought he was going to get the break back but Nadal saved the break points and went up 2-0. Then Federer got on the board easily to make it 2-1. Federer came close on Nadal’s serve with break points but Nadal came through with the dagger to move closer to winning the Championship moving up to 3-1.
But you couldn’t count Roger out just yet!
He held serve then broke Nadal to get to 3-3 and served a love game to go up 4-3. The crowd got on their feet.
Federer got his feet back, dug deep and broke Nadal to go up 5-3. Federer converted his 2nd Championship point and won after Nadal was wrong on his Challenge. Roger won his 18th Grand Slam title 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 3-6, 6-3 and continues to be the greatest of all time.
Well played nadal. It was an epic match to go down in history. Congratulations FedExpress!

1st Set Highlights
The match had an extremely tense start. 1st serve percentages were low for both sisters and Serena had to change her racquet after what she did to it in frustration.
After numerous double faults on both sides, break for break and repeat at 2-2 with Serena being very tight, Serena found a way to eventually break Venus once more and serve out the set, taking the 1st set 6-4.
Venus missed a lot of chances that she couldn’t afford, because to beat Serena she had to be perfect. Serena does not get beaten at her best and her best is better than Venus’ best. So you can see where it got mental and emotional for Venus as she knew she had to elevate her game and it was not happening.
2nd Set Highlights
Venus held serve to start off the 2nd set. Serena followed. Venus was then in trouble down love-40 and saved 3 break points to hold serve and go up 2-1 in the 2nd.
Venus then had a game of many missed opportunities, mainly failure to return weak 2nd serves by Serena resulting in Serena holding to even the set at 2-2.
At 3-3 there was negative body language from Venus. Serena capitalised on sharp angled 2nd serve returns and finally broke Venus to go up 4-3. Serena then served a perfect game to go up 5-3.
Venus held her serve to move to 4-5, followed by Serena serving for the Championship. Venus won the longest rally of the match in that game but Serena kept fighting and converted her Championship point!
Serena won 6-4, 6-4 falling to the floor in joy. Venus walked over to her side of the court and they shared a warm embrace.
Serena now has the Open era record of 23 Grand Slam titles and will return to the #1 ranking in the world next week.

A Williams will win the Australian Open this year!
Serena’s serve was much better last night and she dominated Lucic-Baroni 6-2, 6-1.
It was all about Venus Williams making the Final last night though! She surely took centrestage. Her match was before Serena’s and must have helped to further inspire and fire up Serena to win her match.
Vintage Venus was on the move! It was such a beauty to watch. Quite inspirational.
The match started off with Venus being broken in her 1st game and that never occurred again. The 1st set went back and forth with Venus up 6-5. At this point Coco raised the level of her game to force the tiebreak. Venus tightened up during the tiebreak and lost the 1st set. She was visually upset with herself and if looks could kill! She expressed her wrath in the 2nd set with controlled aggression and took it easily, 6-2.
Of course at that point, the edge was still given to the younger player, Coco to have enough gas left for 3 sets. But the momentum stayed on Venus’s side with her entering the 3rd set with the same attitude, breaking Coco early. Coco went a bit loco throwing her racquet but she did not go down without a fight. I remember her asking out loud early in the 1st set what was going on. Well by the 3rd set it must have hit her that she was playing the experienced Venus Williams who was one of her 4 idols growing up. The other 3 included Venus’s sister, Serena, Jennifer Capriati and Lindsay Davenport.
It has been years since Venus has played like this. I was pleasantly surprised that she pulled this off. She saved 12 of 13 break points faced and scored 11 aces. Her movement was phenominal, she made necessary adjustments such as hugging the baseline to accommodate hard hitting by Coco and beat her mentally. Her serve was clutch and she won 6-7, 6-2, 6-3. It was spectacular tennis by both players.
Her winning moment is a must see. The 36 year old could not contain her excitement and emotions. She looked like a 6 year old and deservedly so. She had more twirls going than Serena.

Venus hasn’t reached a Grand Slam Final since 2009 and her last Australian Final was in 2003 vs Serena.
Here are the stats between the Williams sisters heading into the Final this Saturday at 3am!
