Will Roddick Win a Grand Slam for This Year?

I was screaming my lungs out during the match between Hewitt and Nalbandian. Now, my throat's pretty soar. Couldn't wake up early for work today.. but what the hack, will not even be working after monday.

Things were heating up in the Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne yesterday while seeing Lleyton Hewitt of Australia (World No. 3) battling out with David Nalbandian. Well, it wasn't an easy match as both players were magnificent. After a long, 4 hours and 5 minutes duel on the centre court, Hewitt gave and showed his best by defeating Nalbandian 6-3, 6-2, 1-6, 3-6, 10-8. It was seriously exciting just to watch the two tennis 'veterans' giving their best. At the end of the 4hour 5mins battle, Hewitt managed to prevent the Australian Day dissapointment and cruising into the semi-finals where he will be meeting the former World No.1, Andy Roddick who's now seeded 2nd in the world.

Nothing can ever stop Roddick from showing his best. Smoothly, Roddick cruised into the semi-finals with a 6-3, 7-5, 4-1 lead while Russia's Nikolay Davydenko retired from breathing difficulties. What will be up next in the semi-finals on Friday would be a must-see match. Well-known for their dramatic matches in Grand Slam tournaments, who will win a place in the finals in this year's Australian Tennis Open 2005? Well, the Rivalry continues...

Players in the semi-finals:-

Andy Roddick Vs. Lleyton Hewitt
Marat Safin Vs. Roger Federer

Lindsey Davenport Vs. Nathalie Dechy
