Murray OUT

In a five-setter encounter, Spain’s Verdasco edged out the fair-haired boy of Australian Open 09. Verdasco of Spain took the fifth set, 6-4. Yipee!

This leaves Roger Federer with a good chance of winning his Australian Open trophy and equal the feat made by Pete Sampras. If things go his way, then he can surpass the record of Sampras during Wimbledon or the US Open where he as a bigger chance of doing it. So the Federer is correct after all; the contenders for this year’s Australian Open inlcudes him, Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal. The pressure was really on Andy Murray, with sports writers and betting firms putting him ahead of the pack. Look at Venus Williams, their favorite too before the tournament started. These two players came crashing down. So will it be Federer, Rafa Nadal or Novak Djokovic?

Rafa Nadal booted out

Might as well give the trophy to Roger Federer.  Andy Murray who defeated Rafa Nadal is no match to Roger Federer. And Federer wil get his 13th grand slam of his career, and he wil be just one off the record of Pete Sampras. As much as I want to beleive that Murray will pull a surprise, well I just don’t see that coming.

Andy Murray

I’m just so disappointed that Rafa Nadal was defeated by Murray in four, 6-2 7-6(5) 4-6 6-4. Well Rafa Nadal cannot have it all. He had a great year and this was his best results at the US Open so far. Murray is trying to become the first British man to win a major tennis championship. Can he?
