FedEx vs Heelys
My boy Marcos Baghdatis aka Heelys (he with the power-wheels in his sole) goes up against tennis big shot Roger Federer aka FedEx (he with the fastest power serve) in his first-ever Grand Slam finals later today.
Miss this and you'll definitely weep, as I'm pretty sure that Baghdatis will give Federer a reason to sweat. And though it's probably nothing but sheer wishful thinking, perhaps my boy might even do a Rafael Nadal and end up lifting the OZ Open trophy.
Whatever it is, I sure hope it won't end up disappointing like yesterday's ladies' finals. Amelie Mauresmo won her first Grand Slam title in 32 attempts but in a manner similar to how she won the semis against Kim Clijsters**—usually tough cookie Justine Henin-Hardenne announced that she can't go on halfway through the second set due to stomach pains.
The poor Belgian has been nursing an injured shoulder throughout the tournament with anti-inflammatory pills, ones that she doubled up nearer to the final day and caused major ouches and bloatedness in her tummy.
Pure heartbreaker :(
**Clijsters walked off with an injured ankle in the third set thanks to a nasty wrong-footer
