HaikuFriday#110 & SkyWatch#27
HaikuSkyWatchFriday @ HappilyRetiredGal
Semi-Final Tennis Matches
Serena Williams
played beautifully against
Dementieva
winning in straight sets
even though the Russian's serve
is vastly improved.
At last William's form
looks much better! Dinara
Safina won the
other 'semi' match
against Zvonarera quite
easily as well.
Their Championship
match on Saturday should be
most competitive.
All tennis photos found at Australian Open site online.
Watching Federer
play this semi-final match
against Roddick ... I
marvel at his grace
on the court no matter what
Andy tries to do.
Powerfully, serves
earn Roddick many free points
but somehow Roger
blocks it back with ease
neutralizing Andy's strength ...
imposing HIS game
making Roddick run
side to side and back to front
with some real finesse!
one remaining semi match
against Verdasco
determining who
plays against Federer for
the Championship.
If Roger succeeds,
he will tie the record of
Pete Sampras ... fourteen
total career wins
at a Grand Slam Tournament ...
making history.

great commentary and photos!! it was fun to read.
I'm glad you had so many good matches to watch.
I am more impressed that you were able to Haiku Tennis than I was with the actual games.
Lots of energy there and the haiku are right in tune...
Storyteller, that is just amazing!
By all accounts, these were two outstanding matches.
Wow! The look of determination on all their faces.
