Slamming No.1: World No.1’s Gisela Dulko and Flavia Pennetta (above) captured their first-ever Grand Slam doubles title, defeating Victoria Azarenka and Maria Kirilenko 2-6, 7-5, 6-1. It looked essentially over for FlaviGise halfway through the second set, but the two stormed back from a set and a break down to win the trophy. Forzamos!
Head-to-Head set: Andy Murray (5) lost the first set but ultimately defeated David Ferrer (7) 4-6, 7-6, 6-1, 7-6. Murray will now face Novak Djokovic in the final, a true head-to-head, as both use Head racquets.
Twice as (not) nice: After losing the Grand Slam Women’s Doubles final, Kirilenko, and partner Nenad Zimonjic, lost in the Mixed Doubles semifinal, defeated by 2nd seeds Katarina Srebotnik and Daniel Nestor 6-4, 7-5.
Last Aussie standing: Paul Hanley, paired with Yung-Jan Chan, is the last Australian left at the Australian Open. The two defeated Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Horia Tecau 2-6, 6-3, 11-9 to advance to the Mixed Doubles Final.
Also, Caroline Wozniacki sat in Murray’s box during his match against Ferrer. Did Adidas give her those seats, or is she pulling for the Brit to win his first Grand Slam title?
