It appears to be #3 vs. #2 day at the Australian Open.
Two semi-finl matches that should produce a lot of drama today and tonight in Melbourne.
First up will be the key women's match featuring Kim Clijesters and Vera Zvonareva.
Zvonareva is the higher ranked of the two, but Clijsters has to be the favorite. Clijsters leads the head to head series 6-3 including a two meetings in Grand Slam events last year. Each took one and this could be called the rubber match. Normally I would be on the Clijsters bandwagon, but she has played a little sloppy in some matches. Zvonareva has been solid and looks mentally tough.
Prediction: I hate to go against Clijsters, but I have a feeling, Zvonareva in 3.
The mens semi between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will probably decide the Australian Open Championship. These two are hitting on all cylinders coming into this match.
Djokovic got Federer at the U.S. Open last year. He appears to be playing well enough to take out Federer again. It's so hard to go against Federer.
I'm looking for Federer to pull it out in 4 tough sets.
Looking forward to a night of great tennis.
