Queen Maria

















It was a well played match by both players but the better player emerged as the champion. And as I said it is always very difficult for any players to beat Maria Sharapova when she is match fit and free on injury. Moreover she was on form for the entire tournament, and that's make it even harder for Ana Ivanovic to beat her.
























I thot Ana did give Maria a run for the money in the first set before losing very closely. The second set was almost a white washed when Sharapova put on the turbo and took every shot that was returned to her. Anyway the better player wins the championship.

















I hope there will be more to come from Ana Ivanovic ~ the next generation of young players that will surface in the tennis world.

Battle of the Beauties








































Who will be the winner of the 1st Grand Slam of Year 2008. Both are fantastic player with great fighting spirits. My favorite will always be the young up and coming Ana Ivanovic to come out the winner. But its always difficult to beat an in-form Maria Sharapova which is free of injury and had disposed Justin Henin easily on the route to the final.

I will stick to my TV set this weekend to watch this game and hoping Ana will rise up to the occasion and not feel the jitters of playing in a Grand Slam Final. My money is on Ana.

Come on Ana.....show the world you have mature to be consider the new world No 1.
