Who's Your Bet?

Australian Open 2009 is around the corner (Jan 19-Feb 1) and many seeded-players, including my beloved Ana Ivanovic, are on the ground and practice like hell.



With Maria Sharapova, the defending champ in women's division, out in the Open due to shoulder injury... who do you think will win the title? Can Sharapova's runner-up, Ivanovic, still make it or somebody else grabs the crown?

Here's a full-length video of Sharapova-Ivanovich final match in Australian Open 2008


No need to doubt, this 2009---my big vote goes for Ana...

But Ivanovic is easily pressured in some unexplained sorts and Venus Williams can take advantage of this weakness and just zoom in the big picture. Venus seems hungry and she wants more

In mens, many say that Andy Murray will bag the big prize. I read a prediction in Omiyageh.com and found out that the author also agrees with the speculations.

"If I'm a betting man, I would put my money on Andy Murray on this one. Just Basing from his performance on this year's Qatar Open where he dominated both Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer on the same week, this guy is definitely on a roll," he wrote.

Still, my big bet goes to Novak Djokovic. He's the defending champ and like Fed-ex, Nole might still have a dream of winning the bacon in two consecutive years.

Seeing his awesome performance in 2009 Brisbane Internal, Fernando Verdasco might once again play his magic cards to win his first grand slam.

The Frenchman, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, seems hungry but yeah, Andy Murray can beat him for sure!
