As the curtains came down at the Australian Open….
-Hewitt joins Rafter for being yet another Aussie who falied to win before the home crowd.But rumor has it that he’s out to patent his trademark mark “Come on” salute !
-MaSha won the Women’s title without dropping a single set ! Looks like even years prove to be lucky for her,Wimbledon in ‘04 ,US open in ‘06 and now this ! But can’t help but say that Yuri’s costumes made him look like some mafia gangster out there
-Three cheers to the Serbs,Jankovic and Ivanovic for making the Williams sisters bow out ! Oh I dont like the siblings,in fact I feel they must be playin on the men’s circuit what with those muscles,even better stick to designing clothing rather than flaunting them on court !
-I expected Ivanovic to win the finals post the semis when she came back to beat Hantuchova at a point when she was one set down ! Oh well there’s always next time.I felt bad as she sat there post the final with tears rolling down her cheeks ! Aww…there’s always a next time !
-Doubles…I was a bit disappointed when Bryan&Bryan dint make it to the finals.Oh well there’s Wimbledon coming up in a coupla months.They don’t talk to each other on court.Talk about sixth sense between twins
-I noticed only three players wearing watches on court.The Bryan brothers and apna Mahesh Bhupathi.
-@ Aussie open ‘06 Baghdatis,’07 Gonzales and ‘08 Tsonga
It’s great to watch Tsonga play.He can play from the baseline,he’s good at serve and volley,not to mention the dropshots and amazing slicing shots ! He turned out to be the dark horse ! To quote a commentator “Tsonga has been giving tennis lessons to all the top 15 players for the past two weeks”
This giant 6′4 Muhammad look alike is all over the court when he’s playing,he takes two steps and he covers the court ! It’d be interesting to watch him play Federer in the near future.Frankly speaking I just hope he beats the hell outta him
-When I wrote on my blog that I hope Nole would be the one to beat Federer,I had no clue it was gonna happen
But it did and that proves that he keeps his word
I was hoping that Shriekpova would be there in the player’s box cheering him on like in the US open finals
And oh well this match yet again(after last year’s Wimbledon final) proved that Iceman hates the Hawkeye,the truth being he just doesnt know how to make use of it
-And oh well proving Vijay Amritraj’s prediction turned out to be true when Djoker went on to beat Tsonga in 4 sets ! It was one helluva final and all credits to Nole’s mom for cheerin him on after he dropped the first set(the only one he dropped in the entire championshionship).Who knows after a coupla years we may see his brothers Marko or Djorde on the podium !
And here’s something for the lady who sent me this text(He’ nice : D)when Nole was on the podium after winning the match ! *demonical smile*
I’m gonna wind up the post with this Djoker video(dedicated to Miss Marple) from the locker room !

don worry, Williams sisters will take it back.. and if others cant build it, then why you have to share their disappointment ?
