My first tennis grand slam. And so we did our pilgrimage. Three days of tennis matches in the cold, hot, unpredictable weather of Melbourne.First match: Serena Williams def Shuai Peng...and the list of matches we watched at Rod Laver Arena are as follows:
- Victoria Azarenka def Amelie Mauresmo
- Jo-Wilfred Tsonga def Dudi Sela
- Elena Dementieva def Samantha Stosur
- Rafael Nadal def Tommy Haas
- Dinara Safina def Alize Cornet
- Roger Federer def Tomas Berdych
- Jelena Dokic def Alisa Kleybanova
- Novak Djokovic def Marcos Baghdatis
- Serena Williams def Victoria Azarenka
- Rafael Nadal def Fernando Gonzalez
- Jo-Wilfred Tsonga def James Blake
This year, I wanted to see #1 Nadal, #2 Federer, and #3 Djokovic. On the women's side, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic. I got to see the men but not the women.In the end, we watched the Mens Finals at Circular Quay (back in Sydney) to see Rafael Nadal win his first Australian Tennis Open.
I am happy coz I got the champion and the #1 player to sign my tennis ball.
O-le! Ole, ole ole! O-le, O-le!!!
