I'm off to the Rod Laver Arena tonight to see this. I actually have no idea who is going to come through here. Unlike most of the population, I'm quite pleased to see a final with neither Federer nor Nadal, but I have no particular preference among the two players who are left standing. I hope we get a tough, high-level match that goes for five sets, whoever wins.
Last night I was rooting for Li Na, though I have absolutely nothing against Kim Clijsters. On the contrary, she seems like a genuinely nice person, as well as an elite player on the tour. I expected her to come through in the end, as she did, but a victory for Li Na would have been great for the game in many ways.
I too was happy to see a final without either Nadal or Federer. Unfortunately, Djokovic was more fresh than Murray so the final wasn't as exciting as it could've been.
ReplyDeleteI was also happy to see the women's final didn't include a Williams sister. I'm so bored with them and their accolades to their "god" when they win (and they always seem to win, don't they?). It's just gross.
