Chaos!!

I guess I end up blogging about the Australian Open because its the one I get to watch most comprehensively. So here's the summary:

Venus : out
Jankovic : out
Ivanovic : out
Sharapova : not playing
Baghdatis : out
Djokovic : retired hurt (silly guy could've at least let Bagdhatis win if he was going to pull out of the next match anyway)
Tsonga : out (nooooooo!)
Murray : out
Hewitt : out (if anybody cares)
Simon : out (but he's hot, in that nice French way)
Henin : retired alltogether (how could she do this!?)

Aussi open is BIG for upsets. The draws point to a Fedrer - Nadal final. And its Fedrer and Roddick in the semis! Haven't seen one of those in a while, in a grand slam. The last time I think was in 2004 (?) when Fedrer and Roddick faced off in the Wimbledon finals. As for the women, Dokic made a big come back (again, if anybody cares), the Aussi audience was particularly vindictive in her match against Safina....full credits to Safina for coming through that. It pretty much looks like a Serena v. Safina match. Both big hitters, with the big serve, and very very determined. Should be interesting.

Well I have my favourites clear now, but the men's final is a bit disappointing. Anyways, let see if Fedrer can make that much needed comeback.

But most importantly...Go Mirza and Bhupati, make us proud!
