2005墨尔本还是绿色的盎然，2008墨尔本已是蓝色的浪漫，走过那一片绿色的记忆，穿越这蓝色的浪漫，网事如风，往事如梦，眼前人还是眼前人，而那事已是昨日事。马瑞特.萨芬，罗杰.费德勒还是他们，而他们的网球却不再是那样，没有进步退步，没有欢喜遗憾，这两个男人，早已繁华褪尽见真淳，他们的球技早已大浪淘沙始见金。今晚墨尔本的蓝意，热情又淡定。

从曾经的年少轻狂，到如今的成熟淡定，萨芬永远是球迷心中的可爱的沙皇，他的率性，他的火爆，他场上的翩翩一笑，今夜我们蓦然回首，那灯火阑珊处始终有那一个洒脱的身影，他的网球不是优雅的舞蹈，不是暴力的摧残，不是假意的虚伪，甚至不是刻意的事业，他的网球，是他最真最率性的自我，是一种表达，是一种宣泄，也是一种对这篇场地的热爱和对球迷的眷恋，今晚萨芬很多次微笑了，也许这将是他最后一次在这片场地上挥拍，面对故人，面对往昔的万人瞩目，也许感慨万千，但是唯一要记住的是他永远属于这个时代，永远属于这片墨尔本的蓝。

鲍勃.迪兰的歌，一个人要走多少的路，他才能叫男人。马瑞特.萨芬用自己的说明了，什么是男子汉，一个男人要打多少场球，才能成为男子汉，也许在12年后，萨芬真的觉得累了，他不像罗杰这样一直专注于网球，他从来都是做想做的自己，这一片蓝意就是他最华丽的退场，他从容走过这片球场，不再回头，浸没在大片的蓝色之中。

还记得多少那些年代的大师，罗迪克，萨芬，费德勒，休伊特……费德勒说过：TOP4早就存在，只不过那时候他们不叫这个名字。一语双关，让人感慨。100多年的澳网，见证了多少的辉煌和荣耀，澎湃后终将是走向淡定的寂寞和从容的欣赏。

走过这华丽的蓝色，淡淡的寂寞和牵强的伤感，明日比赛又将精彩，毕竟明天是新的一天，但今夜，只想回想那如风的网事和那些如风一样的男子。

今夜我们不唱HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU，我们唱一首YOU ARE STILL THE ONE，也不是给罗杰，而是给萨芬。

                         You're Still The One 
                          Shania Twain


(When I first saw you, I saw love.
And the first time you touched me, I felt love.
And after all this time, you're still the one I love.)

Looks like we made it.
Look how far we've come my baby.
We mighta took the long way.
We knew we'd get there someday.

They said, "I bet they'll never make it".
But just look at us holding on.
We're still together still going strong.

(You're still the one.)
You're still the one I run to.
The one that I belong to.
You're still the one I want for life.
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love.
The only one I dream of.
You're still the one I kiss good night.

Ain't nothing' better.
We beat the odds together.
I'm glad we didn't listen.
Look at what we would be missing.

They said, "I bet they'll never make it".
But just look at us holding on.
We're still together still going strong.
(You're still the one.)
You're still the one I run to.
The one that I belong to.
You're still the one I want for life.
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love.
The only one I dream of.
You're still the one I kiss good night.
You're still the one

(You're still the one.)
You're still the one I run to.
The one that I belong to.
You're still the one I want for life.
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love.
The only one I dream of.
You're still the one I kiss good nigh
I'm so glad we made it.
Look how far we've come my baby.
