Australian Open

The Australian Open is coming up soon into the semi- finals.

In the men's section Federer scared all his fans in his match against Tipsarevic. The end wasn't at all clear until the very end. After a gruelling match, he defeated Tipsarevic at the end of four sets. His next match was easier. He defeated Berdych 6-4, 7-6, 6-3 in the 4th round. He will have to knock out J.Blake in the upcoming match.

In the meantime, Rafael Nadal has reached the semi-finals by beating Nieminen.

It looks like, barring any major upsets, that this will be a Federer-Nadal final.

For the women, third-seeded Jelena Jankovic pulled off a major upset by defeating defending champion Serena Williams.

In the quarter-finals, the match is now in progress between Justine Henin and Maria Sharapova. Both players have their share of admiring fans. The Sony Ericsson crowd will obviously root for the lovely Sharapova, their “global brand ambassador”.
