Day 4: French Open Match of the Day - Zvonareva vs. Lisicki

A second round women's match featuring Vera Zvonareva and Sabine Lisicki. 

Zvonareva being the #3 seed is the favored player, but don't count out the German who always seems to be coming back from injury.

Lisicki has had a good spring and Zvonareva is going to win a big title one ofthese days.

Look for a good three setter with Lisicki outhitting Vera at the end.

Prediction: Lisicki in 3 sets.

Day 11: Australian Open Matches of the Day

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.

Day 4: Australian Open Match of the Day

Women's Singles - 2nd Round
Bojana Jovanovski(SRB)	vs.	Vera Zvonareva(RUS)[2]



A nice 2nd round match between one of the upstarts on the women's tour and a player who has worked her way up to #2 in the world.

This should be a classic battle and a close one.  Jovanovski has started off the year with a semi-final showing at the warm up event in Sydney.

Zvonareva appears confident and in a good frame of mind.  She feels she can win the tournament. 

Look for Vera to eek out a close 3-setter.

*Upset alert - This match could also qualify for the match of the day.  John Isner is taking on Radek Stepanek  Isner will have to serve huge to win, but would it be a huge upset of Stepanek were to win?  Not sure, but Isner is seeded and Stepanek isn't.  Stepanek could win in 4 sets.
