Australian Open Update

Sometimes work can really get in the way of shoddy blog writing. Rather than watching the thrilling end of the 5 set, 5 1/2 hour+ semifinal between Rafael Nadal (not pictured) and Fernando Verdasco (not pictured) I had to take a shower and go to work. Son of a bitch. Nadal earned his first break of serve in 3 sets in the 10th (and final) game of the fifth set to win 6-7, 6-4, 7-6, 6-7, 6-4. Nadal will once again take on Roger Federer (not pictured) in the finals of a grand slam event. Advantage...Dementieva (pictured).
