Day 13 of the Australian Open: Serena goes back-to-back

Serena Williams was able to defend her title against rival Justin Henin in 3 sets. 6-4, 3-6, 6-2.   This was her 5th Australian Open title, and 12th overal Grand Slam title, tying her on the all-time list with Billie Jean King. 

Even with the majority of the crowd behind her, Henin wasn't able to pull off the mild upset, and cap off what was an amazing run, beating 5 seeds on her way to the final.  This was a "rusty" Henin, can you imagine how she will be playing come May when the French Open rolls around.? 

All credit goes to Serena.  She was a little banged up, but used her desire and toughness to carry her through to another win.  I personally cannot stand how she acts, or how she carries herself most of the time, but as a tennis player I cannot help but have a small amount of respect for her.  She's good...very good.  No, I'm not changing my feelings about her.  I will still root against her every match she plays, but I cannot deny that she is definetly the best WTA player right now.

This will not be the last time you see a Henin-Williams matchup late in a Grand Slam event this year.  These 2 look like the cream of the crop and will be factors in every grand slam.

One more pic of Serena Williams.  Isn't she pretty?

Thats if you like lady-boys.

Bob and Mike Bryan won the mens double championship by beating Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic 6-1, 6-7, 6-3.

Day 14 Preview:  Mens Final

Rafael Nadal has made the call.  He has gone on record saying, Andy Murray will beat Roger Federer.  Murray after his win over Marin Cilic, basically called out Roger Federer.  Saying that he wanted to meet and beat the #1 player in the final.  Federer then went out and sent a message to Murray by "bitch-slapping"  Jo-Wilfried Tsonga around.

This is setting up for some fireworks tonight.  Murray is on top of the world confidence wise, calling out Fed.  Federer is harnessing all his great talent, and then you put on top of it hes probably pissed off and wants to crush Murray.  Nadal is saying Murray will win.  I guarantee if you asked who Tsonga would pick to win, he'd go with Roger.  He doesn't want to mess with that shit anymore.  Mirka, dirka, birka will be in the box making faces.  After Murray's mom gets done with his laundry, she should be there as well.  BG, "Killer Cahill" in the booth on ESPN.  Does it get any better than this? 

I picked Murray to win it all before the start of the tournament, and I'll stick with my pick.  (I also picked Serena to win.  So I may sweep.  Just a sidebar to toot my own horn)  But Federer is scary when pissed off.  I might be leaning towards him, but I will stick with Murray. 

I'm hoping for Murray to win, just to see the possible chance of Federer crying like a bitch, like he did last year when Nadal beat him for the Australian Open title.

Please God, no more Pam Shriver.
