Red-hot Sharapova must take it in two By: Neil Sands from IOL

Sharapova and Djokovic win! - Congratulations to NBTA Alumnus Maria Sharapova on winning her third career Grand Slam!! We are all so happy for you at the Academy!

Also, congratulations to Novak Djokovic for winning his first career Grand Slam title!

Attendance records set! - An amazing 605,735 people attended the Australian Open, passing the 2007 US Open's mark of 554,858!! Also, the fourth day attracted 62,885 people eclipsing the previous record of 61,083 at the US Open on September 1st, 2007! Holy Cow!!

Federer falls! - Wow!! World #1 Roger Federer lost to #3 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals. Federer had reached 10 straight Grand Slam finals, and hadn't lost a Grand Slam hard-court match since the 2002 US Open!! Congrats to Novak!! Holy Cow!!

Tsonga wins...AGAIN! - Holy Cow! I have now picked against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga four times and he keeps winning. Last night he defeated #2 Rafael Nadal in straight sets! I must be his lucky charm! I think I will have to keep picking him against in the finals!
