Well, well, well, i guess my weekdays would not be extremely boring now. The 2005 Australian Tennis Open would be up and running pretty soon (17 January to be exact). I am pretty much guessing now whether there would be a compertition to die for. Well, with the good players, for instance, Kim Clijsters, Justin Henin and Andy Roddick reported pulling themseleves out from the tour would sadden the hearts of many. If Roddick's sure about not competing in this year's Australian Open, i guess i'll miss seeing him doing his thing on court, but i guess there's still Roger Federer to lighten things up. Not to mention, Maria Sharapova is still on the 'hot seat' for now and i guess everyone's waiting to see her in action. Well... i'm looking forward to watch Lindsay Davenport and Anastasia Myskina in action this year. To me, they are two of the greatest women tennis players besides of Venus and Serena Williams. Hrmm... well it would not be a surprise when people start disagreeing with me. Now, I guess everyone’s favorite would be Roger Federer of Switzerland and Maria Sharapova of Russia.

*Models-turn-ball-girls seriously need to be reconsidered. Well, I’m supporting the statement that a 14 year old kid made – “We think it’s very, very bad because in a game of tennis the center of attention should be the player, not a catwalk.” You go kiddo!
