The season has started with The Australian Open and so far I've only managed to watch one full match. A great one though : Nadal vs Berdych. Nadal rallied at a crucial tie-break point in the second set and managed to make it one set all and then fought tooth and nail till the end winning with great merit over a Berdych who was playing at his best.
Nadal now goes into the Semi-final against Federer, which promises to be spectacular as they are both playing well. The Fed. winning easily over Del Potro.
Djokovic tomorrow against Ferrer should be worth watching and in the early hours Andy Murray against a lesser known Japanese player who beat Tsonga. Murray hasn't really been tested so far but should make it through to the semi-final. So it should be the top four in the first Grand Slam semis.
I have a feeling that it's going to be a good year for Murray, don't ask me why! Since my all-time hero John McEnroe, he's the player I find to be most creative and brilliant in his shots when at his best. I'm hoping that new coach Lendl can give him the mental strength to bring out his best tennis when it counts most. He'll need it to beat the likes of "Gladiator" Nadal, "Cool" Federer and the crushing tennis of Djokovic.
My money is already on him for Wimbledon this year.
