been pretty hooked on the TV for the 1st tennis grand slam of the year. The Australian Open.
rooting for Nadal for the tournament. and the semi-final was just another classic. 5 hours of tennis. Good serving, good baseline hits. Fenando Verdasco hit a total of 93 winners.
In the end, Nadal perservered and end up winning 3 sets to 2.. Federer awaits..
Ladies final ended a couple of hours ago. Serena Williams defeated.. or i should say thrash Dinara Safina, younger sister of Marat Safin. Anyone know why their last names are different. Anyway, a few surprises along the way. Emotional Dokic, surprise defeats to Ivanovic and Jankovic (I think they are over-rated anyway). Don't really like the way Serena plays. Maybe she should join the Men's tournament next year. ha. Since she won the ladies doubles as well with her sis., Venus.
All in all, it was a good tournament, minus the 43 degrees heat and the late night matches. Congrats to whoever wins on Sunday. and special mention to the ball boys and ball girls. How I wish you guys were there whenever I play tennis. =)
