There's Always Next Year!

So, Serena has her 5th Australian Open title. She is one formidable athlete! But I was still so impressed with Justine's game. For such a small tennis player, she packs one hell of a punch.

Tonight we watch Federer take on Murray. I hope that is as good a match as last night's!

It's our last day of holidays tomorrow - better go and find a tennis court and throw a few serves down.

Federer the Fabulous

And it took about one hour and thirty six minutes for Federer to simply outclass Tsonga. I've never seen such utterly effortless and graceful tennis. Quick  hands, drop shots, slice backhands and then topspin backhands that sizzled.

So, tomorrow night is Henin vs Williams and Sunday night is Federer vs Murray. We've taken the Monday off so that we can stay up and watch the match!

More inspiration for Cologne...

Did I mention that I am playing D Grade?? Yep, I'll be right up there with Justine and my classy slice backhand...

Allez Justine

We've just come back from watching both women's semi-finals at the Australian Open. I want a backhand like Justine's!

Serena's victory of Li Na was a real battle 7-6, 7-6. Both women are power hitters and they simply slugged it out from the baseline. It was a real war of attrition.

The Henin Zheng match was a complete contrast in styles with Henin using an intelligent combination of power, placement, spin, slice and volleying to simply outfox Zheng.

I have bought the appropriate accessories which will of course ensure my guaranteed success in the tennis in Cologne - yes?? An Oz Open gym towel, a very smart trilby hat, a key ring, and wrist bands. Yep, guaranteed success on the court.

Did I mention that my friend Rae thrashed me hollow yesterday! Maybe better check that ego in at the sidelines...

Tomorrow we go to watch Federer and Tsonga - woo hoo.

Australian Open Inspiration

Well, still got a sore hip so no major running around but I did wear my brand new Adidas shoes for the first time - just checking you understand....

We are taking the week off work to watch the Australian Open - I love living in Melbourne.

And now I'm thinking that I really better get serious about the Gay Games - don't want to crash out in the first round....

And just for fun, check out this blog - http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/ - I think my new Ace Girls Support Crew t-shirt will say "I have not put on weight. Your eyes are fat".
