I have been missing out on all the excitement at Melbourne thanks to exams and all that 
I am finding it really difficult to believe that Murray fell to Verdasco The fact that it was a five setter suggests that it was a closely contested match ! Now looking at the remaining contenders for some vague reason I want Roddick to win …. he deserves to be much more than a one slam wonder. No surprise in Choke-o-vic retiring 
It’d be nice if Nadal completed the set of Grand Slam trophies. I’d be delighted if Simon takes the trophy 
Verdasco is the dark horse of the tournament. Guess having a pretty girlfriend has boosted his confidence and looks like she has been distracted. Well she seems to be the Spain Davis Cup team’s mascot after all they did win Davis Cup despite the absence of Nadal. As for Tsonga I am not fond of him. Period.
Question of the week : Will Federer surprise everyone and walk off with his #14 ? Hmmm.

@ rakesh : Looks like the all Spanish semi was THE match of the tournament ! I managed to catch highlights on the AO site.

*Sigh* That was yet another epic match and in the end the wrong person won!
If there is anyone who should take all grand slams first, it has to be federer first!

@ grider You’re one unabashed Federer fan aren’t you?! Btw are you referring to the semi or the final as an epic match ? If semis yeah the wrong person won…Verdasco should have won that! Guess that’s why Rafa cried then. As for Federer taking all slams..well French Open’s coming up alrite
