Novak Won!

This is not Sox-related at all, but you all know I have to post this:

Novak Djokovic won the Australian Open last night (and I was up starting at 3:30 am to watch the whole thing, even though it really screwed up my day today!) in 4 sets over a very good Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. It was definitely worth it to stay up and watch it all--a very good match that ended just they way I wanted it to. He lost the first set, but that was all nerves, and he corrected himself as he went along. He was so on later on in the match that it wasn't even a question that he'd win (at least not to me!).


And you know during the press conferences they ask all these dumb questions, but I particularly liked this one:

Q. Would you like to play the whole year‑round on hard court without having to having to also play on clay?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: Probably, yes. I'll speak with the ATP chairman about it to make all the tournaments hard courts (smiling).

And this one, too:

Q. Can you relive the match point?

NOVAK DJOKOVIC: I don't know. I really don't know. I can't remember. I just remember that I fell down and I was relieved and so happy. I even couldn't show my emotions because of the momentum, so it's very difficult to say what I felt.

So happy for him!! I think having the Red Sox win in October, Djokovic win in January, and the Patriots win in February would be pretty awesome!!
