Venus Williams held a match point but lost to Carlos Suarez Navarro in the second round of the Australian Open today 2-6, 6-3,7-5. Venus has never won in Melbourne or Paris although she lost both finasl to her sister in 2003. Craig Hickman has more at his tennis blog.Yesterday, I watched Serena Williams overcome a surprisingly stiff challenge from Gisela Dulko and win 6-3, 7-5 despite being down multiple set points at 3-5 in the second set. The 9th game of the match was a see-saw 18 minute affair (the first set was won by Serena in 21 minutes). The 3-time champion was not moving well and several times she became tentative while waiting for Dulko to miss, and instead made an unforced error herself.If she wins her next match, she will face former World #1 and 2006 Australian Champion Amelie Mauresmo in the 4th round.

I think Serena is going to go far. I was wondering what do you think of Fernando Verdasco and his chances. He is such a handsome man there are some pictures of him almost naked as well.
