In the much awaited quarterfinals, my dream girl Maria Sharapova defeated the ever consistent Justine Henin in straight sets 6-4, 6-0. This was by far one of the most consistent matches played by the angel. So, with this clinical performance over Justine Henin, she has once again proved her might in the Australian Open. So, she has now reached the last four of the Australian Open for the 4th successive time. She will face Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals. For the first time in 4 years, the semifinal doesn’t contain the Williams sisters and Henin. But, My gal Maria will rock forever!!! Long Live MaSha!!!

After a flurry of posts on the different happenings in the field of Cricket, which is of course the favorite sport that I admire, it is now time for some Tennis action. One of the 4 grand slams which is the Australian open started on 14th January. In the men’s singles, the championship favorite Roger Federer is marching along. Along with him are the young sensation Novak Djokovic and fed’s closest competitor, Rafael Nadal. Where as in the women’s singles, its the top 7 in the quarterfinals. So, all the quarterfinal matches are going to be fierce and mouth watering as well. Justine Henin is up against my girl Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams against Jelena Jankovic and Venus Williams is up against another teen sensation Ana Ivanovic and finally, Daniela Hantuchova is lined up against Agnieszka Radwanska. So, catch up the rest of the week’s action as it is going to be a mix of hot and cool tennis.

Woohoo!! Maria!!! The name itself breaks a million hearts including mine. She is one of the most gorgeous, beautiful, sexy, lanky tennis star I have ever seen. And, unlike Anna kournikova who paid more interest towards modelling, this girl has the best balance of both Tennis and Modelling. She is currently the World no1 in Tennis and is also making money in the field of modelling. One of the very few females, that I would wish to marry is MaSha. I will sell me head for MaSha, such is the talent and beauty that she possesses. May u rock forever Masha!!!

Now, the guy am going to tell about is one of the rising stars in tennis. He has slowly become one of my favorites in tennis arena. He is undoubtedly the “KING OF CLAY”. He is simply unbeatable in Clay courts. In a sport dominated by the Swiss Iceman Roger Federer, Rafa has shown the people what he is truly made of. He is the only challenger to Federer so far and he will continue to be one in the near future. This spaniard has stolen quite a few hearts with his amazing aggression and flair for the sport. He is best when he is in the baseline and not many players can beat him when he is in the baseline. Over all, this guy is for the future. He is surely going to be the successor of Roger in the near future. May u rock Rafa!!

One of my all time favorites in Women’s tennis has undoubtedly been Steffi Graf. I am a really mad fan of Graf. Whenever I see her losing to Monica Seles, I become really angry and would wait for a day when I could vent my anger with that Seles girl. But afterall, she is a fierce competitor as well. Steffi Graf holds the record for winning all 4 grandslams. She is a great fighter and really ruled the roost in her generation. She was the undisputed Queen of Tennis for many years and she will always be the undisputed queen of my heart in Tennis.

Now moving from cricket, I now come to tennis. I have been watching tennis for the past 7-8 years or so although I dont follow it thoroughly. I just see the important matches in Grand slams. Now, this guy, Goran is my all time favorite in men’s tennis. In a generation when, Tennis was dominated by 2 Americans, Sampras and Agassi, this man fought against all odds and lost many times to Sampras and finally laid his hands on the coveted Wimbledon title that had been deceiving him for a long time. He beat Pat Rafter in the finale. This guy is a powerful player. He isn’t much effective in volleying but is the ace machine. Aces just flow from the racquet of this guy. Miss you a lot!!
