Round 2 

 World No 1 Victoria Azarenka V/s No 94. Elina Daniilidou of Greece. The verdict again was certain as to which way the match would swing. Even as I write, Vika is up by one set and five games to love in the second. Its match practise as usual for the 23 year old Belarussian who has come a long way since she was 18 years old and lost her only match against Elina Daniilidou in three sets! I wonder what it must be like for Elina whose story must be similar to all those who hover lower than 50 in world ranking. She has been at no. 94 for pretty much her entire career and she is 30 years old. It must take a lot of guts and also a thick skin to hang around there for so long. Guts because your talent lies exposed for all to see when you are playing any top 10 player. You are made to chase fluff all around the court and in the end the ball just whizzes by as you make your spirited run and then just give up because you simply wont reach the ball even with the tennis racket attached to a bamboo.
It must take nerves of steel to play again and again knowing that it is an exercise in futility. The top player send winners and you can only smile slash put your hands up in despair and call on the gods above to give you that one face-saving game. Thick skin because well the inadequacies are so glaring so as to be embarrassing. At the end of the day, it’s a job like any other and the result of this occupation is a win or a loss. Result- 6-1, 6-0.
Go team Vika! We want to see you win against Willimas!
The next match I am watching now is the rising Aussie tennis talent and ex- Enfant Terrible (he has promised that he has matured and learnt his lessons) Bernard Tomic V/s the German Daniel Brands. Both held on to their serve in the first set. But Brands is up one set in the tie breaker. Oh wonders, Brands a single fisted back hand which for me is a joy to watch as opposed to the laboured double- handed one. He has an overall solid game and I am thinking a better one that Tomic. He is mixing his shots well and his sliced drop shots are frequently finding Tomic behind the baseline. The Aussie is making more enforced errors that his German opponent. My bet is that Brands will win the second round and go on to meet Federer in the 3th. It will be interesting to watch the Swiss and the German meet at this stage. I feel that Brands has the game to make things a little harder for Federer.
 So lets see which one of them makes it to round three for masterclass lesson from Federer
