One upset pick still playing at Australian Open


Before the Australian Open began, I picked David Ferrer to win on the men's side if the big guns get knocked out (i.e., Nadal, Djokovic, Murray, and Federer), and Agnieszka Radwanska if the dominant players on the women's side fell.  Well, shazam! on the women's side - the four remaining women in the semis are Bouchard (Canadian ranked like 30th) vs. Li Na, and Sharapova-slayer Cibulkova (20th) against RADWANSKA (5th).   (Ana Ivanovic, who looked to be on an upswing with an upset of Serena Williams, went out to Bouchard).

I just finished watching Radwanska mentally unravel a jittery Azarenka with some absolutely sublime tennis shot-making.  She'll be unbeatable if she keeps that up.   SI story on the match.

A bit of shazam! on the men's side with Djokovic getting knocked out by Wawrinska. (Am I spelling all these names right?)  But Ferrer got shazamed himself by Tomas Berdych.

Go Rad!
