Aussie Open: EPIC Womens Match

Petkovic, our new fave.
Sends Sharapova home 6-2, 6-3

Before we get to the record setting women's match...Let's do a happy dance that Maria Bitch Sharap-OVER got pummeled by a VERY cute German, Andrea Petkovic this weekend. You gotta love the Germans!

The Svetlana Kuznetsova / Francesca Schiavone match started out normal enough. Each woman won one set and then the third set started and MAN OH WOMAN you had to buckle your damn seatbelts! The EPIC match set the Open record for longest woman's match in history. Herstory, actually. It was just an ongoing battle. Without the third set tie-break rule, the match just keep going and going. There was stoppages for medical treatment, the day went from sunny to shadowy to the arena's night lights. It was pretty awesome. Standing O for the two really tough chicks. Schiavone of Italy won 16-14 after 4 hours and 44 minutes and a whopping 9 match points - Kuznetsova BLEW 6 of them and it took 3 of them for Schiavone to end it.

We'd post a picture of them, but you are probably eating breakfast.

Usually when this happens it's a "win the battle, lose the war" thing. Last week after the 5 set Nalbandian/Hewitt match, Nalbandian was incapacitated for the next 2 days and had to retire in the next round. Look for Schiavone to be immobilized and racked with pain today and out tomorrow. Caroline Wozniaki is going to have an easy round now over her now.

On the men's side, a surprising loss for Robin Soderling, a HUGE disappointment for Andy Roddick and another ass kicking by the Brit Andy Murray. Rafa Nadal and Federer also advance.
