TENNIS FEVER @_@!!!!!!!

It's the 1st grand slam of the year & FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME...i was there to experience the whole live atmosphere...Of course i didnt go to watch everyday....tat would be too costly...I went for the 3rd round matches on hisense arena (2nd main court) and 4th round matches onRod Laver Arena (centre court).

3rd Round - Fri 22 Jan -Hisense Arena ~Day session

Consession (student included): $44.90 / Adult: $49.90

HISENSE ARENA

Jelena Jankovic vs Alona Bondarenko

Went to other court 1st as we couldnt careless bout how jankovic @ drama queen match went....by the time we got there....well....she was upset by bondarenko..HOORAY...only got to see her bck as she walks into the tunnle...LOL....AND as expected she pulled out another page from her drama book - blaming this n that .basically wat she said was she lost the match more than bondarenko won it.

p/s: at least she was not saying she almost faint like she did in Wimbledon 2009 and breathless in US open 2008. Owh yeah..and feels like killing herself after losing in French Open 2008.

Justine Henin vs Alisa Kleybanova

The comebck queen!!!!! she was down a set and a break in the 2nd set...but somehow she managed to pull off a victory!!MIND MY WORDS, Jankovic, tats wat a true champion usually does -find a way to win even on their bad day.

Andy Murray vs Florent Serra

Last match of the day session on hisense. Ntg dramatic. Easy win for him. Couldnt find any photo of him from my camera..only videos...but i m too lazy to upload 1 now..but i m sure all tennis fans know how he looked like....isnt he looked like a vampire or smtg...dude,u really need to fix ur teeth!!

Anyway, here are some of the photos from other courts:
