So much tennis going on, I’m feeling dizzy but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
- After serving a bagel yesterday, Rafa Nadal was fed one by Lukas Lacko. Nadal managed to pull out the win and keep a lung, although he tried he darndest to cough it up in the 3rd set. Surprisingly, he went out a few hours later and won his doubles match. During the presser, Nadal said that he was suffering from a fever and was on antibiotics. Let’s hope for a quick recovery. The Aussie Open starts in 8 days.
- Roger Federer struggled a bit against his countryman Marco Chiudinelli, but he managed to win and book a date with Victor Troicki. And he didn’t hit a tweener this time.
- Maria Sharapova was defeated by 31-year-old veteran Greta Arn today in Auckland. I’m not quite ready to bring up the “y” word (YIPS), but it’s apparent that she still has serving issues. Richard Gasquet keeps on disappointing everyone, and Kuznetsova had yet another inexplicable loss.
- Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic continue to frolic and have fun at Hopman Cup.
