I totally had tears in my eyes.

Don’t judge me. I’m a she, and we girls are hormonal creatures. But Jelena Dokic, she still has her implosions, she’s still as neurotic as ever, and she could’ve made it much easier on herself, but she battled her way through a 3-set match, and outclassed her much higher ranked opponent. She deserved every minute of that standing ovation she got over at Rod Laver Arena tonight. And what a delight it was to see both her and her coach so emotional after the match. Wozniacki next. I don’t see her getting past the Dane for some reason, but she’s certainly exceeded my expectations. Go Jelena!

 

And on that note, I leave you all for the time being. Tennis Amnesia has caused me to book a holiday in the middle of a grand slam again, so I’m going off overseas tomorrow. When I get back, we’ll know the winners of the Australian Open. The last time I watched a grand slam while on vacation was during Wimbledon last year, and let’s just say it made a very miserable Monday morning for me. Hope for a better one this time.
