I really hope they can enforce some sort of rule here, because the women's game has really improved and it could be great fun to watch. Well, let's see what happens then.

Victoria Azarenka crushed Maria Sharapova 6-3 6-0 to claim her maiden Grand Slam title at the Australian Open and also secure the world number one ranking.
Congrats to Azarenka, she played much better than Sharapova and deserve the victory.
And I have to say, finally Caroline Wozniack is out of number 1 spot and I think she drops for number 4 in WTA Rankings.
Stepanek and Paes stun Bryans to doubles title
Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek upset Bob and Mike Bryan 7-6 6-2 to win the Australian Open doubles title and foil the American twins' bid for a record 12th Grand Slam crown.
I guess this year the Australian Open is not a good one for the USA players.

BMS wins the mixed doubles title. Awesome to see a girl from my home state win the title. Was good. Wish she was available but she has been married to a college football player for a while. Oh well, still cool.
I'd splack Bethany today right now if she would. Best wishes, girl. Don't forget Rochester!
