2006 Australian Open Roundup

Australian Open Roundup Agassi and Nadal are being sorely missed. The rebuilt, superslow-but-bounce-high surface would have helped Nadal a great deal. Richard Gasquet, Gael Monfills, Andrew Murray (all heralded as "Future of Tennis") were very disappointing. Early exits for Sania Mirza (2nd round), Paradorn Srichapan (1st round) meant that the "Grand Slam of the Asia-Pacific" was without adequate representation from Asia-Pacific. The William sisters also lost early -- the first time both of them lost in the first week in any grand-slam (?) event. Federer's got game -- or TMG (Too Much Game) as Pat McEnroe calls it. Great five setter against Tommy Haas will just help him peak this weekend. Hingis is Back -- Martina Hingis is back from retirement (she's only 25) and looks good. My prediction (or rather wish) is for a Federer-Ljubicic final in men's (to be won by Federer) and Lindsey-Clijsters in women's (to be won by Davenport). Link to Australian Open Website. Update: Ljubicic and Davenport have lost, so my prediction is 50% wrong already. © Vikas Kamat Venus Williams looking for her lost mojo Satire of American Express' Lost Mojo Campaign.
