Dedicate to Heath Ledger

Hello,

This is not a tennis story, but I'm about to write about him for a few days now. I don't know about him much. I've just know that he was in Brother Grimm and Brokeback Mountain, and will be in Batman : The Dark Knight, but when I knew that he mysterious died on January 22, 2008. I was stunned. The nomination for Acadamy Award 2006 is gone. Life is too short. Hollywood has already lost another smart actor. Wish you rest in peace and all the best thing for you in the peaceful place.

RIP

The Winner of Australian Open 2008 is .......... "The Joker" NOVAK DJOKOVIC

Hey there,

First of all, congratulation to Novak to win his first Grand Slam with the age of 20. He beat Tsonga in 4 sets (beat Federer in 3 sets in Semifinal). Nole has an all around game, steady ground stroke, top-spin forehand, great backhand down the line, and err.. 100 ball bouncing sometime. Anyway, he deserve to win this tournament. I feel very happy for him. Since 2004 Thailand Open, I saw him as a wildcard and lost in the 1st round. After that, I always support him to be successful. Now, he won his first Grand Slam at Australian Open 2008. I hope he can continue his success. Also, congratulation for the runner up Tsonga who made a miracle run in this Australian Open as well, beating Nadal, Gasquet and Murray to the Final.

I think men tennis 2008 getting interesting now. Let's see what will happen for tennis this year and enjoy it.

Write more soon.

P.S. Novak's youngest brother, Djorje, is so cute. Check out this little boy in the pic I attached

Dark Horses of Australian Open 2008

Hey guys,

Australian Open 2008 has already been in second week right now. Both men and women are in the quarter final round. For men, Federer VS. Blake/ Djokovic VS. Ferrer/ Tsonga VS. Youzhny/ Nieminen VS. Nadal. For women, Henin VS. Sharapova/ Serena VS. Jankovic/ Venus VS. Ivanovic/ Hantuchova VS. Radswanka. Both men and women have something similar. I would say Youzhny and Hantuchova are dark horses of this tournament if I don't see the name of Tsonga from French and Radswanka from Poland. These kids are still young and can make this far. Whether they will lose or win on their quarter final or not, they're already been successful for this tournament. (In fact, I prefer both to lose coz I prefer Youzhny and Hantuchova to win)

My dream final for men, I hope for Djokovic and Youzhny final. Yeah, I know it is very difiicult to be true, but I still keep wishing and praying. Who know? today, there is already an upset. Jankovic already beat Serena in straight. So, you never know.

Enjoy tennis and keep wishing for my dream final.
