Last year Li "the girl with the rose tattoo" Na broke through into the Aussie Finals, endearing us all to her (remember). This year she is bitching out her husband/coach in the aftermath of her meltdown to Kim Clijsters. It's always going to be an excruciating loss when you miss on 4 straight match points to someone with a busted ankle.
But this year we still have another Asian break through. Kei Nishikori is the first Japanese man to make the quarterfinals of Australia in 80 years! He toughed out Tsonga in 5 sets. This is huge for Japan where according to Chris Evert, "The Japanese have the best tournaments. And they just love tennis." The problem is that to keep the momentum building he will have to beat Team Murray featuring Ivan Lendl, who earned so little of a workout (6-1;6-1;1-0{ret}) that he had to go back out for more practice.
And thank you Lendl for being humorless (not counting unintentional comedy). The important thing is that he's a real Louis C.K. in his own mind...
Lendl: Jokes are meant to be jokes, they're not jokes to be told on TV, they're jokes to make you laugh.
