I've been to the tennis, me

The Medibank International. Last night. At the Sydney Olympic Park Tennis Centre. With AM, CM and another workmate, HS. Saw the finals of the women's singles and the first set of the doubles (if we'd stayed for the second, we'd have missed the last train back to the city). In the singles, Kim Clijsters (Belgium) fought back like the champ she is to beat Jelena Jankovic (Serbia) - 4-6, 7-6, 6-4. Very vocal support for JJ, including numerous unsporting catcalls during play. Thankfully, they didn't decide the outcome. It was good to see KC live before she retires. In the doubles, Groenefeld (Germany) and Shaughnessy (USA) were too experienced for a battling Bartoli (France) and seemingly injured Tu (USA) - 6-3, 6-2. I spectated at the same matches in the same tournament last year, but in 2007 the standard of tennis was much higher. It was good to have HS - who's played the game at a national level - with us to provide comments with cred.
