Insomniac tennis fanatics unite!
Sounds like I'm not the only one staying up all hours of the night just to watch live coverage of the Australian Open (Kyle actually was able to stay awake through three sets of the Roddick-Hewitt semi-final last night).

Serena just beat Lindsay in what may be Davenport's last Australian Open (she had planned on retiring last year after Wimbledon). Go Serena-- so commentator Mary Carillo can finally shut up about you being "in decline". And obnoxious Lleyton Hewitt beat only slightly-less-obnoxious Roddick to play the tacky-gold-chain-wearing Safin in the final this Sunday (which will air as another middle-of-the-night match for us Americans). My favorite moment in the Hewitt-Roddick match was when Roddick left the court during a break between sets and had to be fetched by the referee because he was gone for nearly 10 minutes. The first thing I thought was "They can't let the guy take a dump in peace?", but alas, he was just tying his shoes. Of course, there was drama nonetheless. :)

So, go Hewitt, you crazy-busted-face-Aussie you! (Damn that guy is hard to look at. He got dumped by that equally busted girlfriend of his, and now has a soap-opera star hottie. At least he hasn't been spotted partying with 'FrankenBoob' Tara Reid like his fellow Aus tennis player, Mark Philippoussis, a.k.a. "The Poo" to our Aussie friends. Shame on you, Poo! You had that nice girl Delta Goodrem before! But anyhooo...) Anyway, Hewitt: Break that 30-year Australian player dry spell!

Avert your eyes-- it's Hewitt!!
