Re: Australian Open

[Don and Margaret]

This has been one of the best tournaments in years! <img src='style_emoticons//biggrin.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’biggrin.gif’ /> Some great story lines and wonderful matches.

Serena did great in winning. Wonder what the deal was with Sharapovas' shrieking coming and going at the end of the match? Like our announcer said, it is irritating yet strangely disconcerting when she doesn't do it. We felt like she was just really beat by the heat and humidity (and Serenas' hanging in there so tough).

We're like Lisa in that we really like Andy but are kinda rooting for Lleyton, being he is in front of his home crowd and has played wonderfully so far. This match is a tossup as far as we can see. Don's in for another long night as they are showing this one live tonight and it starts at 2:30 am in Texas. <img src='style_emoticons//ph34r.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’ph34r.gif’ /> <img src='style_emoticons//smile.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’smile.gif’ />

We think Serena will beat Lindsay and think that the mens' final is a tossup no matter who wins tonight. Safin is a streaky player so Andy or Lleyton will have a good chance. Still can't believe anyone beat Roger though. <img src='style_emoticons//ohmy.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’ohmy.gif’ /> Can you tell we're tennis fans? <img src='style_emoticons//laugh.gif’ border=’0′ style=’vertical-align:middle’ alt=’laugh.gif’ />
