TENNIS: The Aussie Open

So far I have been keeping up with the Australian Open by reading online round ups, and watching whichever live match Eurosport is showing at the time when I'm eating my breakfast and getting ready for the day ahead. So, yesterday I watched three potential seed upsets. Which all goes to say that I haven't yet been able to watch a match through, and follow its rhythms - in fact, I hadn't even seen any women's tennis until last night, when I caught some highlights.

Anyway, I'm watching much less of the Australian Open this year than I was last, but that's a good thing because it kept me entertained during a patch of insomnia that I do not want to go through again. I mean, I even knew what the time difference was between here and Melbourne last year. But then, I woke up round six this morning and decided to switch the TV on rather than doze.

Serena has to be the favourite for the women's (I speak without paying much attention to form and Jnkovic has to prove herself)…but I could see any of the top 4 men winning it. (I say that even though/because I am watching Tsonga).
