Electric times for tennis players even the ones stuck in the snow. Who do you consider winning the Australian Tournament this year, persistent favorites; Federer, Nadal or perhaps Murray. Or possibly an upset from a tennis player who is just performing better than the rest right nowadays like Del Potro, Roddick or perhaps Djokovic?
On the Women’s Side it could be any one of a number of likely tennis players: Henin, William Sisters?, possibly Safina, Clijsters, Jankovic or everyone’s hopeful Ana Ivanovic. Day 1 results are already in and Maria Sharapova has already been from the aussie tourney by her countrywomen Maria Kirilenko.
All we really know is that there will be some great tennis, some long-term memories and the inner want for ourselves to get out on the courts and play.
Here’s some Day 1 Results:
Former top-ranked Maria Sharapova was a surprise 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 loser Monday to fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko.
U.S. Open champion Clijsters, also a former No. 1 and making a return to the Australian Open in her sixth tournament back from retirement, easily won her first-round match 6-0, 6-4 over Canadian qualifier Valerie Tetreault.
Later Monday, another former No. 1 also on the comeback trail, seven-time Grand Slam singles winner Henin, advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over fellow Belgian Kirsten Flipkens. Henin lost to Clijsters in the Brisbane International final 10 days ago in her return to the tour.
Henin’s next match is against fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva, who downed Vera Dushevina 6-2, 6-1.
No. 24 Ivan Ljubicic had a 6-1, 6-2, 6-2 win over 16-year-old wild card entry Jason Kubler, the youngest player in the draw.
