Have a great time in NZ and at the Open. Can't wait to see the pictures -- I really enjoy watching the majors on TV.

I had a great first day at the Australian Open, where I saw the quartfinals for both men and women. Here are some photos I took from my seat:

Leo - my nephew is there at the moment too.

I have always preferred womens tennis and not for the obvious reason - the rallys tend to be longer. With men it seems to be 1 huge serve and that is it - a bit boring. Womens tennis has more subtlety to it.

Anna Horny Kova was nice to watch too!!!!

Thanks for posting those! What a treat it must be to see such great tennis.
Who do you favor in the women's bracket -- Jelena Jankovic or Maria Sharapova? Or maybe Serena's big sis?
Will you see a Nadal - Federer match up?

I like Jelena, got her autograph a few years ago and she is up-and-coming. I'm going to root for Maria though when they match up. As far men's tennis is concerned, I would love a Federer-Nadal match again, but don't underestimate Djokovic....those Serbs are something else! Anyway, I'll be very excited to see Roger play James Blake tonight, I literally can't wait!

stilla....That's so cool, maybe I've seen him around? :)
I have only limited internet ($30 a day, very expensive!) and it ends soon, so this is all I can post for now. Will post more in a few days.

My Fav is still Venus. I don't care for the men's version since John Mac quit playing.
I agree that the women's game is so much better played technically. Same with women's basketball.
I may have to check on the day's action now that you posted this.
