Tennis in Melbourne 2010
penny January 27th, 2010
Such were Penelope’sprojections for how the 4th round onwards would go in the Australian Open (21 January onwards). Let’s see how many I got wrong.
In the 4th Round, my mistakes were 7 players: Haas, Verdasco, Del Potro, Clijsters, Safina, Jankovic and Hantuchova. Instead there are Tsonga, Hewitt, Cilic, Petrova, Wickmayer, Zheng and Na. So in Top 16 in each category, I batted 81.25%. Not bad.
Hence in the Quarterfinal, I only got Federer, Djokovic, Murray, Roddick, Henin and the Williams sisters correct. For the mens’ I got 50%, while in the womens’ I got 37.5%. Horrible.
Now in the top 4, there are Federer, Murray, Cilic and Djokovic (assuming I’m right that he beats Tsonga tonight); Serena Williams, Henin, Zheng and Na. Mens’ 75%, Womens’ 50%.
So all that’s left to guess is the top 2. For the mens’, I previously picked Del Potro, but now to update this I pick Federer and Murray. For the womens’ I originally picked Venus, but with her out I now I pick Serena and Justine.
And who to win? I’ll say Federer and Justine.

Whoooops, Djokovic lost, so I got 50% for the Top 4 men.
Federer won.
Justine lost.
