I don't think that I can bring myself to watch. Does this make me a bad tennis fan? *sniff*

Yes. Sexy Ana in sweaty blue dress!
I've been feeling the SERBIA in this tournament. I thought we might see Jankovic vs. Ivanovic and Djokovic in the men's final, but we got 2/3 of that (and let's face it, the better, cuter, more aggressive 2/3). I think Ana's gonna mix it up and hopefully get the drama going like in the semis. I wanna hear Maria screaming in agony and desperation.

Right there, Ana! Agony and desperation for Masha! Kick her butt! Blast her off the court! Squeak those shoes! Yeah! Roar!

Warning that Enberg/Bud are announcing this one. So, you'll want to break your TV. I'll wait for the replay on Tennis Channel. Martina's long-winded rants that only tennis geeks like me can get > Viagra.
Oh, and Maria wins like 1 & 2.

I don't know why I'm going to bother, though...even if Ana gets close it will only break my heart in the end. Still, it could have been a Williams sister or (dear god) Hanturexia holding the trophy, so Maria is practically a thrill in those terms.

I'm expecting a close match between Ana and Maria. I would love to see Ivanovic win a grand slam singles title but not at Sharapova's expense. I'm rooting for Sharapova because it's time for her to become a great tennis player. Masha has only shown greatness in spurts in her career. But I think Ivanovic will win 6-4 4-6 6-3 because she's playing fearless tennis in the clutch and Maria has all the pressure on her to win the title. And the fact that Masha has won 6 easy matches at the 2008 Australian Open will hurt her in a close match because Ana is close match tough while Masha isn't. I also think Masha's second serve is more likely to break down than Ana's second serve. I hope it's an exciting match and that there is no controversy or questionable sportsmanship in tonights final. Udachi Maria!

Can we lynch Maria when she pumps her fist and screams like an asshole.

Also, Queen Esther continues her domination by winning the final today.
She's lost 5 games in 3 matches.
We hope TTC will show more of her exquisite play.

I'll be happy for either girl winning, but am behind Maria tomorrow. Should be a fun match.

Screaming in labour pains is worse than ajdeing and squealing. But I'm biased.

Martina's long-winded rants that only tennis geeks like me can get > Viagra. Oh, and Maria wins like 1 & 2. How do you know Dick Enberg and Bud Collins are doing the women's final? If Collins is courtside that means Pam Shriver isn't working the women's final and that's hard to believe since ESPN2 had Mary Jo Fernandez, Mary Carillo and Pam Shriver doing the commentary along with Dick Enberg's play by play of the Sharapova/Henin quarterfinal match. I can't see Carillo, Shriver or Fernandez not wanting to work the Sharapova/Ivanovic final in prime time American television coverage.

Ugh. I need to make my decision now. I'm completely exhausted and have a shitload of writing to do this weekend - so basically either I drink coffee now and stay up to watch two miserable sets of UEs, with Shriek winning; or I accept that's how it'll be, go to bed now, and wake up to find I've missed a three-set classic which went like 19-17 in the third with Ana winning.

STAY UP! It's the only choice for tennis fans.
I'm still on a high from Novak. Like, it ruined my day and my sleeping schedule. But I don't care if I fail and drop out of school for Serbian tennis players who don't know me!!!

You should watch the match S7. It will probably be a stellar match that you will regret missing.

I forced myself to wake up at 7 am on a Saturday morning. This had better be the best fucking GS final ever.

Go Ana!

I heard it's hot today in Melbourne. That's an advantage for Ivanovic because Sharapova sometimes wilts in the heat. Wilow is back for the women's final.

Jesus Christ, Sharapova just doesn't miss. Obviously prolonging the rallies and moving her around is not going to work today. Ana has to win points on first strike and she's not good enough for that at the moment. 6-2 6-2 I guess.
