Stimulating times for players even the ones stuck in the cold. Who do you consider winning the tourney in 2010, persistent favorites; Federer, Nadal or possibly Murray. Or maybe an upset from a tennis player who is just doing better than the rest right nowadays like Del Potro, Roddick or possibly Djokovic?
On the Women’s Side it could be any one of a number of potential tennis players: Henin, William Sisters?, maybe Safina, Clijsters, Jankovic or everyone’s hopeful Ana Ivanovic. Day 1 results are already in and Maria Sharapova has already been from the aussie tourney by her countrywomen Maria Kirilenko.
All we really know is that there will be some special tennis, some lasting memories and the internal desire for ourselves to get out on the tennis courts and play some tennis.
Here’s some Day 1 Results:
Defending men’s champion and second-seeded Rafael Nadal found his rhythm after a slow start to the first set and beat Australia’s Peter Luczak 7-6 (0), 6-1, 6-4 on Monday in the first round of the Aussie Open.
U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro beat American Michael Russell 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 and No. 5 Andy Murray defeated South Africa’s Kevin Anderson 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.
Later Monday, another former No. 1 also on the comeback trail, seven-time Grand Slam singles winner Henin, advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over fellow Belgian Kirsten Flipkens. Henin lost to Clijsters in the Brisbane International final 10 days ago in her return to the tour.
In between rain delays, No. 11-seeded Fernando Gonzalez of Chile beat Olivier Rochus of Belgium 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 and Florian Mayer had an impressive comeback to beat Philipp Petzschner 0-6, 2-6, 6-4, 6-2 6-2.
