So is anyone else into watching the Australian Open or are my wife and i just serious geeks?

I got into watching it one year while we were on vacation in France and the BBC played it live during the night - I couldn't sleep anyway and ended up getting hooked. We've watched it reigiously every year since, going on 10 years now.

We also watch the other tennis opens, but this one espeacially, every year. I even recall in 2009 I was in Kuwait waiting for a connecting flight up into Baghdad and it was on the big screen TV they had set up in the tent.

I never hear anyone talking about it though, not on radio, news, in the office, whatever. Curious, its a pretty cool game to watch, at least I think.

Gotta say as much as I want it to be Federer,I think its going to be Nadal and Djokovic. Federer struggled against Simon big time yesterday. Would love to see Federer vs Roddick but I can't see that happening.

I bet two of the above four are in the finals though.

You?

As good a guess as any. However, I would rather watch Sharapova. And Julia Goerges is HOT!
