Aussie Open: Final Duels

Kim Clijsters and Li Na at the Sydney Open

On the women's side we are looking at a Li Na vs. Kim Clijsters final.

For the men it will be Novac Djokovic vs. Andy Murray.

If Clijsters wins it will be her first Australian Open title and fourth overall. She is currently fighting chronic knee pain and is openly popping pain killers courtside. Look for Li Na to win or at least take it to three sets. We're still pulling for Kimmy. Li beat Kim at the Sydney Open a few weeks ago.

For Novac this would be his second title, both Aussie Open wins. For Murray it would be his first major title ever and a chance to end a 75 year drought for Brits in a Grand Slam final and to hold a Major title.

Clijsters has confirmed she will be retiring again at the end of the season to concentrate on being a full time mom (and take care of that knee). Justine Henin just retired for the second time last week.

All of Britain is pulling for Andy Murray, but you KNOW we want Novac to win!

Andy Murray and Novac Djokovic..somewhere at one point


Live finals are at 3:30 AM EST on ESPN2, with replays at 9 AM. We suggest getting up early to watch it live. It's so much fun that way!
