Australian Open: Day 9

By Haruka


Men's Tennis
    The match was boring. The expected winner won and Roddick is in the final four. He will likely play Federer next.


Women's Tennis
    When Serena lost the first set many people might have sighed and rolled their eyes. Her inconsistant play bought upon unrealistic expectations for the younger William's sister. Peer should get an incredible amount of credit because of her persistant and consistant play. She faded in the second set as Serena Williams uped her level of play, the equation giving Serena earned the second set. As the third set started on, Serena ran ahead but Peer not ready to go out without a fight uped her level while she forced Serena to make mistakes. Peer fought to match point but Serena, determined not to lose, managed to close the extremely tight match and win. Peer will be back.


    Serena's side of the draw is WIDe open and she has to be feeling confident. However, she is still a dangerous floater playing a dangerous opponet. She has to be prepared but things occured in her draw no one could have predicted. Hopefully she will take advantage of her situation.


Day 10's matches look interesting.
