As I stayed awake to watch the Australian Open Woman's Final....I realized that I really didn't have to. I was expecting to a serious competition between
Serena Williams & Dinara Safina but thats not what i saw. Serena had more of a challenge in the
quarterfinals against Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova. In this match, she actually lost a set while playing in 120 plus degree weather. After the first set the roof was closed on the court and after a 25 minute break. Serena came back and cooked Kuznetsova. Some controversy did arise about the decision to close the dome in the middle of the match, but not much.
Some said that Serena was out of shape, that was last seen in her quarterfinal match. After that she didn't allow her opponent to win more than 4 games in a set. She may not be in peak shape but she had enough stamina to win the open. Congrats.
