I am all about the Australian Open right now. I 've been staying up to the wee hours of the morning watching match after match and it's good stuff! Tonight's match with Sareena Williams was pretty amazing on a number of levels.
Sareena is a tennis juggernaut right now, and tonight she nearly destroyed herself. We are in fact our own greatest enemies no? I seriously had written her off after being down 4-0 in the second set. Secretly, I think I wanted her to lose. But she eventually fought her way back and won the match. Usually other players will drop their game giving them a break, but not tonight. She had to really get her Zen on and that's what I really love seeing in tennis these days. Big strokes, long rallies, and 130mph aces are cool, but seeing a player find peace in the middle of mental hell is just awe inspiring. I have a new respect for Sareena. Turns out she's quite the fighter being no stranger to first set loss's only to recover and win.

On another note I found today that my primary credit card was hacked. Dang man! I take a lot of care to make sure that kind of info is kept solid, but just goes to show how the system breaks down sometimes. Luckily I don't have to pay anything, but it still kinda messes with your head some.
