The Aus Open has been pretty exciting this year. The Dokic run was enthralling, but with that over its time to get down to the business end of the tournament.

Surprised that Federer has come back from a shaky 4th round 5 setter where he was down 2 sets to love, to hit form and really not be challenged into the Final. Roddick never looks more ineffective than when he plays Federer in a major. All his flaws are laid out bare. 

Watching the Nadal v Verdasco match right now. Its 3 hours long and only in the 3rd set after they have split the first and its gripping. Man this tennis is physical. When I play my friends at tennis who are usually fitter than I am generally, I can always outlast them because I guess I'm tennis muscle memory fit or somethin. But I couldnt stay with these guys for more than 10 minutes (skills aside). Truly remarkable athleticism these days.

Edit. Wow Wow Wow!! What a match!! Amazing that players can keep up such a level for over 5 hours. Insano!

Verdasco is way buff now and actually pretty cute too. Haven't taken note before.
