The Australian Open started today, so it's Maria time again



Various media outlets are saying that Maria is currently dating Washington Capitals Ice Hockey player Alexander Ovechkin.

That's an easy error to make; I'm often mistaken for him  ;)

Maria could be in trouble in Round 2. She's one set all against Aleksandra Wozniak (that's the Canadian player, not Rory McIlroy's girlfriend).





EDIT - Maria Redsox is through to Round 3

PS - So's that miserable Scottish bloke

murray did real well, if he continues to be coached by llendl i can see a major success. attacked real well apart from 4th set. thought it was great tennis

Thrilling final between Joker and Nadal.    How they had the energy is beyond me, especially Djokovic who played a 5 hour game in the semis with 1 day less rest.    Unbelievable stuff.

I think he will be a slightly better nearly man like Tim. Henman had to live with Sampras and then got surpassed by Federer when Pete retired. The dour scotsman has Federer and Nadal ahead of him and Djokovic surpassing him.
