Before the start of the Australian Open (AO), I made a prediction of this year's champion. I said Andy Murray and Petra Kvitova will win the finals.

Well, I was wrong. Both of them were crashed out in the semis. Kvitova lost to Maria Sharapova and Murray just lost to Novak Djokovic. Both of my predicted winners fought really hard and produced their best tennis. Credit goes to Murray, whom I think he redeemed himself from last year's poor performance in the finals. This time round, he lost to Novak in a tight 5 setters. I think his breakthrough should be coming pretty soon. I am very impress with him despite his lost.

Now, the finals are coming real soon. Maria Sharapova vs Victoria Azarenka and Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic. Who do you will win?

I'm going to pick Maria Sharapova because of her experience in grand slams finals. The decibels in Rod Laver Arena is going to be darn high on Saturday. It will be an interesting match.

For the men's finals. I am going to pick Novak Djokovic simply because he has found a way to beat Nadal consistently. Plus he also have a mental edge over Rafael. Nadal needs to produce his best tennis in the finals in order to beat his nemesis. I think Novak will prevail in a tough 5 setter.

Enjoy your weekend with the mouthwatering finals.

Cheers,

Joel
