For the past few years, both men's and women's tennis have been fascinating to watch and this year's Finals indicate a real shift that happened. In the women's draw, no Serena or Maria and in the Men's Draw, no Federer or Nadal, two names that dominated Men's tennis in the last decade.
Andy Murray, with his Olympic gold and US Open title, is playing better than ever, and Novak is always an incredible contender and to think, he was almost knocked out by Wawrinka just goes to show how close the Men's tennis has become.
I am looking forward to the Final tomorrow.
As I write this, Azarenka is fighting from one set behind against Li Na. Both have been top players but neither has been consistent and to watch a really hard fought women's finals in the warm Australian summer is always a good sporting start to the year. It is indeed the official changing of the guard- in the Finals, no Nadal, no Federer, no Serena, no Maria- no problem- there is a lot of depth and that can only be good for the sport!
