Suga congratulates Novak Djokovic for winning his 5th Australian Open title yesterday in Melbourne, beating Andy Murray 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-0. He is now 5 for 5 with the Australian Open and it is his 8th Grand Slam title. Sadly it is the fourth time in four tries that Murray has lost the Australian Open final. This makes the 3rd time Murray has lost to Djokovic, while the other final was a loss to Federer.
It’s a good sign that a wife and kid has not slowed down this world #1 just yet.
Apologies SuGa Readers. The match seemed to be in the am and not the pm. However, Congrats to Serena Williams who fought through that cough and beat Maria Sharapova 6-3; 7-6, closing the match in style with an ace. This is Serena’s 6th Australian Open title and her 19th Grand Slam victory. She is looking to reach 22 to be on the same level as Steffi Graf to be the best in the open era for women. She plans to take it in steps to reach 20 and then 21 before she can look to 22.
SuGa wishes Serena all the best this year and hopes she can do it! The quicker, the better.
The time difference would also affect the time stated previously for the men’s final. So look out for that one in the early am tomorrow. There will be no clashes with the Super Bowl. Can’t have that happening. Enjoy the weekend!
For the Women’s Singles final tomorrow, it will be a battle between World number 1 and 2, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova not before 7:30pm.
News just in that Serena cut practice short because she is suffering from a cold. Can she find the Michael Jordan within her to win the Championship and move even further up in rank amongst the greats?
The Men’s Singles final will be this Sunday, not before 7:30pm, conflicting with Super Bowl time. It will feature World number 1 Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray (6).
