Australian Open Recap

January 30, 2007

Well,the Australian Open is over and surprise,surprise-Federer won!
Roger has no peer at the moment and is only playing against tennis history and for his place within it. What mastery. The only way players can compete against him now is 2 out of 3 sets as that puts a little bit more pressure on him. 3 out of 5 Roger just knows he has the upper hand as someone would have to play pretty flawless tennis over 5 sets. And no one has been able to do that other than Nadal on clay. The French open will be very interesting.

And now on to Serena Wiliiams winning-wow. She certainly had her game face on during the tournament-the finals particularly-and her game got better as the tournament went on. Nadia Petrova could have and should have beaten Serena in straight sets, but got a little careful. Williams served her way out of trouble repeatedly and won that match as well as against Peer and Vaidisova. How well she could move with that frame of hers is amazing.
