After a straight sets destruction of the one time infallible Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic looks ideally placed to add another Australian Open Mens title to his 2008 Championship trophy. Ominously for Murray, Djokovic won the 2008 Australian Open after losing the 2007 US Open Final. A quick look back at 2010 confirms Djokovic is again coming off a loss in the US Open Final, this time to Nadal. Murray on the other hand will be playing in his third Grand Slam final, but at his two prior attempts he has fallen at the final hurdle. Add to that the intense pressure of the Brittish media who have thrust the tennis expectations of an entire country solely upon Murray since his ...

There are two matches being played today in the second half of the draw and the last of the men’s quarter finals. The first match sees the bolter Aleksandr Dolgopolov take on Andy Murray who has largely been flying under the radar. This will be the best match of the day because the all Spanish match between Nadal and Ferrer is as good as over before it even begins. Dolgopolov has surprised many, and those same people have no clue on how to pronounce his name. I’ve been following this guy for a fair while now and have seen a few of his matches. I honestly think he’s in with a solid chance of winning today, despite what the bookmakers ...
After her unbelievable 4 hour and 44 minute win over Svetlana Kuznetsova, Francesca Schiavone should have been steamrolled by Caroline Wozniacki, who had by the easier route to the quarter finals. But Francesca Schiavone managed somehow to even further stamp her class by winning the first set and then going up 3-1 in the second before Wozniacki lifted to take the second. Far from a walkover Schiavone took it to Wozniacki in the third before the Dane got the better of her tired legs. As we said yesterday, put her name in your “blackbook” for the coming year. There’s nothing better than sending your money around on a player that refuses to yield, and Schiavone will win her share of ...
