Australian Open, the first tennis grand slam of the year, is currently underway at Melbourne Park. The first slam of the year is on it's 4th day today and so far I must say there hasn't been any major upset happening. The 5th day will be headlined by the 3rd round clash between world no.2 Roger Federer vs former champion Marat Safin. It's the repeat of the 2005 Australian Open Semi Finals.
On paper, this should be an exciting match since both players posted comfortable wins in their respective 2nd round win. I'm putting my hopes on my idol Federer to equal the all time slam record of 14 currently held by Pete Sampras and pray that he won't let me down.
Hometown hero Leyton Hewitt is no more in the play after his opening round lost. So who will it be? One of the top 4 of Nadal, Federer, Djokovic or Murray? Or somebody else that might just crash the party...What about the women's championship? One of the Williams sister? Or will Jelena Jankovic will finally land her first slam as no.1 of the world? Stay tune and find out...we have 1+ more weeks to go...
