Women
Victoria Azarenka ended Maria Sharapova's winning streak with a lopsided 6-3, 6-0 win. Maria looked great to start as she quickly took a 2-0 lead. But then after that, she lost it. I thought she kept a good mindset this whole tournament, but I guess it's hard to stay in the zone when you don't play every day. Azarenka is the new #1 seed after this tournament.
Men
I woke up this morning expecting to watch a replay of the men's final at 9am. I avoided all news and social networking sites so that I wouldn't see any stories or posts about the winner. I turned on ESPN and the live footage was still playing. Djokovic and Nadal had just broke the record in the length of a finals match. So it was the beginning of the 5th set still. Nadal got the early lead, then Djokovic won the next 2, seemingly ready to close out the match in 4. Then Nadal came back again in the 4th. The 5th was a battle, but it looked like Djokovic was having an easier time. He would win his serves faster. And sure enough, he got the championship. Djokovic is probably Federer's best friend! If it wasn't for Djokovic defeating Nadal in all of the recent finals, Nadal would seriously be on pace to decimate Federer's all-time record!
