Original:

Tonight, it is final game of Wimbledon tennis in English. Two players are presenting a awesome game for us. Eventually, either of them will win the game and get the reward that is a huge price about 2 millions pounds.
But I am a little upset/frustrated for this match because my favorite athlete who is Roger doesn’t get in the final game. He was defeated by Raonic in the quarter of game. During that time, he was hard work and tried to get same score of the competitor. Though, he did him best, he still lost his game. But I think he is still remarkable player because of his experiences. He created glory history in tennis and it is difficult for others to achieve his nice performance.
So he is always (being) my start and I am always supporting him. I’m looking forward that he get able to another champion in Wimbledon in next year.

But I am a little upset/frustrated with this match because my favorite athlete, who is Roger, didn’t get in the final game. He was defeated by Raonic in the middle of the game. During that time, he was working hard and tried to get same score as the competitor. Though he did his best, he still lost the game. But I think he is still a remarkable player because of his experiences. He created glorious history in tennis and it is difficult for others to achieve his nice performance.
So he will always be my star and I am always supporting him. I’m looking forward to his chance/opportunity to be the champion in Wimbledon in next year.
