Australian Open Tennis Finals: Kim Clijsters vs Li Na and Novak Djokovic vs Andy Murray
 

The Women's Finals will be on live in just about an hour (Midnight in California), and it should be a good one, although I have to give the nod to Kim Clijsters of Belgium:

Chinese challenger Li Na, should put up a good fight, and is already in the record books as the first Asian woman to reach a Grand Slam title match, and with her precision shots and scrappiness, she should make a contest of it:

In the Men's finals the following day, the two opponents are good friends and well matched (there were born a week apart, and have a career record of 4-3 in heads-up matches).

Novak Djokovic versus Andy Murray in the 2011 Australian Open has the potential to be a legendary match, since both players thoroughly know the other's game, so it will come down to strategy and mental strength.

While Djokovic has the skills to win, I feel as if Murray will seize the moment, and make a statement in this event leading up to Wimbledon this summer.

While I would have liked to see Rafa win all 4 Grand Slams in a row, it is nice to see some new faces in Grand Slam finals... :thumbsup

Would that be Murry's first Grand Slam?

Would not just be his first Grand Slam, but the first grand slam by anyone in the UK in 70+ years.

Thanks, I was trying to not overstate the meaning:

IMO he's played well enough that I'm surprised he hasn't won one already. Granted I don't happen to catch most of his losses on TV but usually when I see him play, I'm generally pretty impressed. Djok's no joke either though. :P

WTF?!?

Almost a half hour of hype already - Play tennis!!!

Go Kim:

Having not witnessed a frame of the match... this pic alone let's me know it must've been worth watching to get that kind of congrats. Great thread!

Djokovic WON :) Marry is too young to win :)

No Joke... He is too good for Marry...

The match has not been played yet. :1orglaugh

BTW, Murray is a week older than Djokovic...

Nuptials aside, in head-to-head comparisons/matches, the players are quite even.

In the end, this match/tournament will likely come down to whomever is mentally superior on the given day of the Finals.

I want to buy a Tennis court now. :helpme

now that's nice! :thumbsup

I didn't realize this is the very first time Djokovich and Murray will have played in a grand slam. Makes it that much better!

I will be on Djokovic side offcourse:)

Federer and Nadal have so dominated the Grand Slam tournaments over the past several years, so it is good to see some other deserving players get a crack.

I think that Murray will take the Men's title...

It's on now! Pretty even so far~

Oh well, Murray got totally outplayed.

He is good at everything, just not GREAT at anything. Which is why i think he will always struggle to win a Grand Slam...

Djokovic made a beautiful game today!

I'll take ass number 2 please !!!! :thumbsup
