The ‘Warrior’ Reloaded, and the Smiling Assassin
Serena Williams and Justine Henin will compete in the finals of the Australian Open
The two women’s semifinal could not have offered a more striking contrast interspersed with erring similarity.

A few thoughts on the highlights of Day 10 of the Australian Open:
Serena’s Warrior Moment, No. 385
Never Count Serena Williams Out
It would be hard to pinpoint at exactly what stage in Serena Williams’s career we learned to avoid writing off her chances in any match until the very last shot. I can stretch my mind back to 2003, at this very tournament, when, after being 1-5 down against Kim...

Bernard Tomic is the youngest Junior Champion's of the Australian Open
A Grand Slam is a great time to have a look at some of the young and upcoming players on the tour. Usually the winners of the respective Junior titles are usually given a wild card into the tournament. And that the land Down Under has a home grown Junior Champion at this slam would make the job much easier for Bernard...

Australian Open 2010 – The Reign of The Big Boys Starts Here
Share
After losing to Nikolay Davydenko in the final of last year’s World Tour Finals, or the WTF (I must admit, I still can’t get over that acronym), Juan Martin Del Potro said of his opponent, “he was too good today. He played like PlayStation”. ‘PlayStation tennis’ – it has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? And Del Potro couldn’t have been more spot on with his assessment of Davydenko’s...
Australian Open 2010: Men’s Draw to be Full of Surprises
Share
The first look at the Men’s Singles draw for this Australian Open had a different feeling this time around. Until last year, all I was concerned was in which half of the draw would Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray fall in—in Roger Federer’s half or Rafael Nadal’s half.

The Perfectionist Roger Federer

Roger “His Royal Highness” Federer
The very name brings to mind a non-assuming personality with a trophy cabinet, which keeps getting bigger and bigger. The very name strikes terror in the hearts of other tennis players other than arguably Nadal. With Mt.
