australian open - day 9

not sure since when, but i have started disliking henin-hardene. like or dislike, she won her match. will sharapova have enough charms to beat her? i'm glad to know that sharapova won the only hard court match they ever met. but lost 2 clay matches too. with the lost, davenport lost her no.1 ranking too.

The loss may cost Davenport, who was beaten by Serena Williams in last year's final, the top ranking that she has held since Oct. 24. more

i am really upset about ljubicic lost. period! but baghdatis plays really good tennis. he manged to return all the lethal shots. but will he do well further than this aussie open?

my tomorrow's matches prediction:

federer/davydenko - federer
kiefer/grosjean - kiefer
schynder/mauresmo - mauresmo
hinggis/clijsters - clijsters

the head to head records between federer/davydenko speaks for itself. 6-0 to federer. furthermore, at this point nobody will fancy davydenko to win except his own entourage. even though kiefer/grosjean head to head favouring grosjean at 3-2 but i still think kiefer has that little bit advantage over grosjean.

i'm taking mauresmo side this time. hopefully she really is the one. i'm waiting excitingly for hinggis/clijsters match. no comment but i go for clijsters to win - provided that she didn't chock on last minute.

Q. You don't even seem in a hurry. You're signing autographs, I notice.
ROGER FEDERER: Well, three autographs (smiling). I'm also cutting them down a little bit. So let's hurry up here, okay. We all got to go to bed and sleep. roger federer's interview after his match against haas. it was 1.30am and the moron journalist asked the most stupid question.
