After a gruelling match between Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco last night, today's women's singles final is such a disappointment.
I'm disappointed because Dinara Safina let Serena Williams dominated from the start till the end to win 6-0, 6-3 in the Australian Open final.
This is Serena's 10th Grand Slam title and her fourth Australian championship — and this also means her return to the no. 1 ranking!
Serena and her sis Venus also won their eighth Grand Slam women’s doubles title yesterday, beating Daniela Hantuchova and Ai Sugiyama 6-3, 6-3.
What a way for her to start the new year!

Ana Ivanovic's new Rolex advertorials reminds me of her FHM photo shoot.
At least the hair look the same to me.
These adverts will be published in magazines and newspapers in the coming months.

Rafael Nadal wins gruelling semifinal
I have been wow-ed!
I'm so relieved that Rafael Nadal survived the record breaking 5 hours and 14 minutes semifinal match against fellow Spaniard Fernando Verdasco to reach the Australian Open final.
The final results is 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (1), 6-4.

The final results is 6-7 (4), 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-7 (1), 6-4.
"Right now I'm feeling more happy than tired," Nadal said in a courtside interview."Now Nadal has a chance to deny Roger Federer from winning his record-equaling 14th Grand Slam when the two meet Sunday in the final.
"For sure it will be tough to play the final in another day. My opponent will be difficult because Roger is always very tough."
"It was amazing for me. Playing this match with an unbelievable atmosphere. Thank you very much, it was one of my best matches in my career."
"Fernando was playing unbelievable. His serve was amazing, so, I think it's his best tournament in his career. He played unbelievable. Today he deserved this win too so I want to congratulate him."
