LOL...I think it makes the match more exciting. The only sport where I would rather watch women play.

Li Na just broke back!!

I really want Li Na to win. She would be the first Asian to win a grand slam (I thought Michael Chang won one, but I guess not).

Is it just me or did Dick Enberg go to the same school of broadcasting as Verne Lundquist?

I took woz the other day when she was down a set and a break against Schiavonne.

ETA: The line was like +300.

Woz is pretty hot, in an Amanda Coetzer kinda way.

Congrats to Kim Clijsters, the 2011 Australian Open Champion.

Li Na played very well. And she is related to Mika Tan, so she is aces in my book.

Five hours until the match begins.

I like Nole's personality better than Murray and think he will win due to more firepower, but am rooting for Murray because busts his butt and will be crushed if he loses another GS final. Plus, I think it would be cool to see a Scottish guy win.

I have no idea how Murray is so successful. Lots of people bag on him as pusher. It seems like he only excels when another guy runs him around and he transitions the point from defense to offense. He will have ample opportunity to do that tonight. Being a night match, Djoker won't get tired. Should be a good one.

Only reason I wouldn't mind if he wins.

That said, he still seems like tennis's version of Jay Cutler.

I'm a huge Andy Murray fan. I think a win here would boost his confidence for the greatest grand slam tournament of them all: Wimbledon.

A Brit hasn't won Wimbledon since 1935. Tim Henman couldn't do it, but I think Murray has what it takes to shake the British Curse.

Federer and Nadal are too much better than everyone else on grass. One of them will win Wimbledon.

Not so fast, my friend. (Yes! Lee Corso voice!)

Andy Murray is on the rise. And he will have home court advantage at Wimbledon.

Does home court advantage mean anything in tennis?

You better believe it does, Chris Fowler.
