Watched most of Serena Williams beating Vaidisova last night and, man, those two girls are heavy hitters--they were beating the crap out of the ball early on! When Serena has her feet set and her knees bents, the ball comes off her racket like the guns of Navarone. Vaidisova had her chance, up a break early in the first set and she couldn't finish the deal. As for Serena: you know some women are a Botticelli, some are a Gauguin, Serena is more of an R. Crumb.
I thought Clijsters would give Sharapova a match, actually I thought she'd take her. But the Russian swept her aside. Serena-Sharapova is definitely the match up NBC wanted.
Roddick, buddy, you had it all going your way. You just beat Federer in the tune-up, Connors was back by your side, you were ready to make it happen. Well, guess not. Better luck next year. At least the spanking didn't take long: NBC says it was just an hour and twenty-three minutes--damn, Steffi Graf used to take longer than that. The match was not your best but hey, the press conference went better than expected. (There's a little article on ESPN about Federer's parents, nice that unlike all the other proud parents, Federer's folks only have to jet in for the finals instead of slogging around Australia for two weeks!)
