So the Australian Open is finally over. Unfortunately I was unable to catch either match, but I am sorry but 3:30am starting times are a little too early for me.
Personally, I am a little disappointed with both end results. Neither of the players that I wanted to win won. Okay so Federer has now won his 16th grand slam title, woopty doo. That's just great, congrats to him. But is it just me, or are you getting a little tired of him winning? And the reality of it is that he didn't just win but he pretty much cruised through the final match. The only close set was in the third, but overall Murray didn't really have a chance. Murray knew it too, he cried when giving his speech in the award ceremony because he knows that as long as Federer is still playing he will never be able to win a grand slam.
On the women's side of the draw Serena won. Again, are we that surprised, or rather are we that excited by the result? I was really pulling for Henin to do what Clijsters did at the Open. Although, she didn't win I have a good feeling about the women's tour this year. Having two top players (Henin and Clijsters) coming back will make the draws harder and will force other women to step up, especially Sharapova. What happened to her? But I digress, that is a completely different story.
Just think just another few months until the French Open. Get pumped because the clay is always exciting, especially with Henin back on tour! Look out for her, because that is her tournament.
