Disappointment and day of 'upsets'

Nah. Nah... Not talking abt me here.I should say I am a die-hard Serena Williams fan, but somehow yesterday wanted Sharapova to win. Dont know why!? First set, was "set of unforced errors" from serena. she didnt play the way she wud normally be.. she gave it all away to the russian. second set...sharapova was again up and serena had a very bad line call when he was having a break point on maria's serve. the linesman initially moved his hands to signal 'out' then signalled 'in'. The 'chair' wud have seen it clearly, but no overrule.. There had been so many errors from the linesmen at this Aus open:like the other day during Hewitt vs Nalbandian clash. Then i thought, if justice had to be done for this blunder, serena shud win this set. and not only she won the set, but also the match. 2-6 7-5 8-6.. Incredible fightback. the russian had 3 match points on her serve and she cudnt convert them.

But, the biggest upset for me that day was roger losing to safin: 5-7 6-4 5-7 7-6 9-7 in a 4.30 hrs struggle. i wanted roger to complete the grand slam this year, so this was a big disappointment.. it was the perfect birthday present for safin, though. he plays hewitt now in the final.. shud be much easier for safin to beat hewitt. lets see. on the women's side: serena vs davenport... I bet, serena would demolish davenport like she did to mauresmo, in the QF.. not more than 5 games shes gonna lose in the final.. lets see what happens!

For me, it has been the same old 'work and home' week. played baddy after a long time and played it pretty badly.. looking out for any baddy court nearby, so that can play atleast in the weekend.
lets see...
