Ivanovic upsets Serena down under!

Posted on January 19, 2014 by admin

Ana Ivanovic upset Serena Williams down under last evening, the largest upset of this year’s Australian Open so far, and she did it in convincing fashion, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.  Ivanovic ripped sizzling returns on Serena’s serve (almost unheard of) both with her forehand and backhand returns.  She had a great game plan and she stuck with it and it paid off.  In fairness to Serena, it was revealed that she had tweaked her back and was playing a bit injured.  She certainly did not look at her best, way too many unforced errors and her lack of movement was telling.  Taking nothing away from this huge win for Ana, Serena was very gracious in her post match interview.  Ivanovic had never taken a set off Serena in their previous matches and this victory sends her into the quarterfinals and snaps Serena’s twenty five match winning streak.  Well, Serena will go home, work hard, and just come back better.  Hopefully this will propel Ivanovic back into the top ten and send her deeper into this tournament as well as the remaining Grand Slam tournaments this year.  After becoming number one and winning the French Open in 2008 she has really struggled and with a new coach on board, she really is blossoming.  Her next opponent will be the new darling of the tournament (not that Ana is not loved as well by the Aussie fans!), Eugenia Bouchard of Canada.  She even has her own cheerleading team!  It also brings a smile to Li Na, who also advanced as this really opens up her half of the draw.  Azarenka moved on in straight sets as well.

On the men’s side, Stan Wawrinka (the other Swiss guy), Djokovic, and Berdych all advanced in three sets while David Ferrer had a bit of a struggle and needed four sets to move on.

Tonight…it is a big one…4th round matchup for Mr. Federer vs. J. Tsonga.  If Fed can get through this one, he will likely face Murray in the quarterfinals.  Come on Roger…get it done.  It is the 4th match on Rod Laver so it will be in one of the evening time slots televised on ESPN2.  I am afraid it is going to be in the wee hours of Monday morning but will have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, there is some football on today!  Broncos host Patriots in first game (AFC title game) and then later, San Francisco visits Seattle (NFC title game).  Made my picks yesterday (Broncos and Seahawks) and I believe I will stick with them!

Also tonight, the series finales of the ABC show Betrayal airs at 10:00 pm EST.  Cannot wait!  Sure to leave us hanging…

Until later

Federer, Nadal, Murray all into the round of 16 in Australia

Posted on January 18, 2014 by susan

Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray all advanced with wins last evening and yesterday, moving them into the round of 16 at the Australian Open.  Federer had little trouble with Russian opponent, Gabashvili, winning 6-1, 6-2, 6-3.  Roger has looked really comfortable with his new larger racquet and appears to be in great shape.  The road becomes much tougher now, as he will next face J. Tsonga who advanced over fellow Frenchman G. Simon.  The Tsonga – Federer fourth round match should be a great test for Roger.  The road to a title in Melbourne is a daunting one for Fed.  He would likely need to beat Tsonga, Murray, Nadal and then Djokovic.  A tall order for anyone!  Non the less, it would be great to see him make it to the semifinal and or final and I believe as the spring rolls around and we head toward Wimbledon, some more Federer magic is in store for us!  Needs to move up a few notches in the rankings (currently at #6) to make the path to victory a little less arduous.  Also, must improve on his break point conversions, a weakness he has had for the past two/three years.   Rafa had little trouble with G. Monfils, winning 6-1, 6-2, 6-3.  This was a bit of a disappointment, as many had this match circled as “one to watch”.  Monfils is always entertaining and certainly capable of greatness and everyone hoped this match would be closer.  Andy Murray looked a bit rusty, grabbed at his recently repaired back a few times early in his match against Feliciano Lopez, but went on to a solid performance and win, 7-6, 6-4, 6-2.  Really hate to see Lopez buzzed his gorgeous locks!  I think Andy’s mom is a bit upset as well, she is famously known  for her “crush” on the handsome Spaniard.

On the women’s side, Sharapova advanced as did Azarenka (and she will next face Sloane Stephens from the USA) while Caroline Wozniacki was ousted in three sets.  Well, she is still sporting that huge diamond ring from Rory Mcilroy.  Also, back to the men’s side, the last American man Donald Young was taken out by K. Nishikori, 7-5, 6-1, 6-0.  A great match took place between two young guns, Raonic and Demitrov.  Demitrov (also known as Sharapova’s plus one) advanced in five grueling sets, winning the fifth set in an exciting tie break.  Great interview with Roger Federer on You Tube where he talks about watching that match in the lockerroom after his match was completed.

Moving to the NBA…R. Rondo returned to action last night in Boston for the first time since January 2013 (torn ACL) and it was spoiled by the Lakers, who won 107 – 104.  The Celtics, now coached by Brad Stevens (formerly of Butler) are of course not the Celtics of old, literally, as Paul Pierce and KG are now in Brooklyn and Ray Allen is in Miami for his second year.  So, this is now Rondo’s team.  Also, long time coach Doc Rivers has left for sunny LA, coaching the Clippers.  Kobe was in attendance on the bench but still not back in action.  Pau Gasol led the Lakers with 24 points and 13 rebounds.  Kendall Marshall hit the game winning three point shot for LA and Rondo’s attempted three point shot for the tie at the buzzer did not go in.  So, Lakers actually got a win!

Later…

Tennis from down under continues..

Posted on January 17, 2014 by susan

Tennis from down under continues…and the temperatures have fallen at last.  They are enjoying seventies and eighties over the weekend and into next week (oh, how nice that sounds!).  Yesterday while the temps were still high, Aussie fave Sam Stosur fell to Ana Ivanovic in three sets.  Li Na overcame a rough start, dropping the first set 1-6 to win in three sets as well.  Good..I would like to see Li Na go far in this tournament.  Two of my “other faves”, up and comers Pospisil of Canada and #20 Janowicz, the Jerzy boy as I like to call him, are out of the tournament, Janowicz lost and Pospisil withdrew due to a back injury.  Serena rolled but has withdrawn from the doubles competition with sister Venus as her partner, perhaps to save herself for the singles?

On the men’s side, two top seeds fell, Gasquet and Del Potro.  Really hate to see Del Potro go out.  Tonight’s session offers Murray, Nadal, and my guy, Mr. Federer.  They have moved Fed back to Rod Laver Arena (thank you very much) and his match will be the second match in the night session.  That means the DVR will be hard at work I am sure with the time difference?

Scheduled matchups are as follows:  Nadal vs. Monfils (could be very interesting), Fed vs. Gabashvili (?), Tsonga vs. Simon (another good one), Murray vs. Feliciano Lopez, and D. Young (USA) vs. Nishikori.

NBA news..R. Rondo will return tonight for the Celtics as they host the Lakers.  Kobe will not be taking the court but he was apparently visiting Boston College while in town and dropping in on some classes.  Took some unsuspecting students by surprise!  Pretty cool, but I am ready to see Kobe back in action on the basketball court!!

NFL on Sunday…AFC Championship and NFC Championship!  First game you may have heard about, will feature a couple of guys named Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.  Peyton is attempting to become the third quarterback in history to play in two Super Bowls for two different teams.  Brady and the Patriots stand in the way, (Brady is looking to become the first player to appear in six Super Bowls) but the game is in Denver.  I am going with Manning and the Broncos!

Second game is no slouch..San Francisco vs. Seattle.  I think this one is too hard to call but I am going to take Seattle!

In case you missed the Critics Choice Awards last night, the All Right, All Right, All Right freight train that is Matthew McConaughey and his award winning performance in Dallas Buyers Club continued!!  Also, Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jared Leto, Mark Wahlburg,  Twleve Years A Slave, Spike Jonze (best screenplay for Her, yes!) were among the winners.  SAG Awards air on Saturday night on TNT.  Keep on keeping on…..

Federer looking like, well Federer down under!

Posted on January 16, 2014 by admin

Roger Federer played his second round match against B. Kavcic yesterday (last night, early this am, the time change makes it all a bit confusing) and won in convincing fashion, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6.  Federer looked like, well he looked like Roger Federer!  The larger racquet (98″ as compared to his previous 90″ racquet, actually about 5 square inches larger with larger sweet spot and more power) seems to be working well.  An adjustment period is to be expected but in these early rounds, Fed looks very adept and comfortable with his new, larger magic wand.  He was clinical in the first two sets. Kavcic, who never played badly, stepped it up in the third and forced Roger to play a tie break to win the match.  This match was played under the roof on Hisense, not Rod Laver Arena.  This marked the first time Roger has not played a match on Laver at the Australian Open in ten years.  Bet there were some really happy ticket holders who did not expect to get to see Federer on Hisense!  Really like the new,  patterned print shorts Fed is rocking!

Nadal, playing on Rod Laver Arena with the roof closed due to scorching temperatures, advanced with ease over T. Kokkinakis in three sets, 6-4,6-2, 6-2.  The real story has been the temperatures.  They had to stop play on the outer courts due to the heat (no roofs) and the crowds have stayed away during the heat of the day.  Cold front is expected, temperatures should be much more comfortable for the weekend and into next week…seventies!  Sharapova played the match of the day, temperatures hit 107 degrees and she needed three sets, finally prevailing in the third set, 10-8.  Azarenka advanced in two sets last night (well you know what I mean) and yes, boyfriend Redfoo (LMFAO fame) was in the house!!  Also on the women’s side, newly engaged C. Wozniacki (to Rory Mcilroy) advanced over American Christina McHale in three tough sets.

On the men’s side, Tsonga advanced as did Murray and  the top half of the draw is absolutely loaded, overloaded actually.  Djokovic is setting pretty on the other side of the draw!

Looking forward to the weekend play and hoping Roger Federer can continue to look good!  Will be really interesting to see how he fares with his new racquet and the addition of Stefan Edberg to his team as he continues on and hopefully advances to the later stages…facing the likes of Tsonga, Nadal, Murray, and who knows..Djokovic?

It’s Surviving “Paradise” day on Wednesday 1/15/14

Posted on January 15, 2014 by susan

Happy Wednesday everyone, hump day!  This is that wonderful day of the week on which I promote my book Surviving “Paradise” by Susan Willoch Shaver.  It is available at Amazon.com for $8.99 in paperback, $4.99 in kindle edition, and $4.99 at Barnes and Noble nook.  Follow the hilarious tale of a southern woman who relocates to a new town in southwest Florida only to be met by a ridiculous set of people and circumstances.  Entertaining, full of both drama and comedy, it is a surefire way to get a good laugh and relax during these cold, dreary winter days (for those of us who do not live in sunny California!)  Surviving Paradise

Speaking of sunshine…the Australian Open, the first tennis Grand Slam of the year is well underway and the temperatures have been HOT to say the least, ranging from 105 to 108 degrees during the day!  Roger Federer will play in second round match on the 16th against Blaz Kavcic.  He will be the 4th match on Hisense Arena.  Interestingly, both Nadal and Murray will also play their second round matches tomorrow, both on the center court..Rod Laver Arena.  Oh well…anyhow, looking forward to seeing Roger play match number two.  The real challenge is figuring out which telecast is live coverage and when, given the time difference.  Coverage switches back and forth between ESPN2 and Tennis Channel.  Supposedly, a “cold front” is expected to arrive down under this weekend and the second week of play will enjoy cooler temperatures…in the (gasp!) seventies!

Couple of upsets in College Basketball last night, Indiana upset previously unbeaten 3 Wisconsin and Arkansas defeated 13 Kentucky on a buzzer beating dunk off a missed shot.  Sadly, ESPNU showed the Georgia Tech vs. 22 Pitt game.  The Jackets fell, 81-74.  They did make it interesting coming down the stretch.

Tonight, a new episode of ABC drama Nashville airs at 10:00 pm EST.

Until later…

Federer wins first match down under!

Posted on January 14, 2014 by susan

Roger Federer won his first match down under, ie. the Australian Open, defeating James Duckworth of Australia, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2.  Federer look a bit sketchy in the first set, got a bit better in the second, and then cruised in the third.  But then again, when we say sketchy referring to Federer, take it with a grain of salt.  Roger is using a new, larger Wilson racquet, 98″ as opposed to his 90″ magic wand that has seen him amass an unequaled total of 17 Grand Slam titles.  Roger is competing in his record setting 57th consecutive Grand Slam tournament.  Stefan Edberg, the former Swedish number one, has joined Team Federer.  Severin Luthi is the head coach of Team Federer, but will be very interesting to see what Edberg has to contribute.  Watching the match, you could observe Luthi and Edberg conversing, along with Mirka (Roger’s wife, never underestimate what influence she has on his tennis!).  Anyhow, Roger is going to need some time to adjust to the new, larger racquet, but hopefully he can make a deep run in this tournament, perhaps even make it #18!!  He was outstanding on his first serve, winning virtually all of those points, had 5 double faults as he was really going for it on his second serve.  He needs to improve on his break point percentage (has been his weakness in the past couple of years) but hopefully with time, he will adjust to the power and touch of the new racquet and give us some more magic.  Meanwhile, in a much anticipated first match for #1 Rafael Nadal vs. Tomic of Australia, a bit of a letdown.  Tomic was forced to retire due to injury after losing the first set to Nadal, 4 – 6.  The big story of this first Grand Slam of the  year has been the temperatures…105 degrees during the Fed match during the heat of the day with the  expectations of seeing 108 degrees plus.  WOW!  But gotta say, experiencing weather in the fifties and looking at possible snow flurries tomorrow (ATL), wish I was there!  American John Isner was forced to retire due to an ankle injury in his first match, very disappointing.  Big match on Rod Laver Arena featured Lleyton Hewitt vs. A. Seppi.  Hewitt lost in five awesome sets…6-7, 3-6, 7-6, 7-6, 5-7.  Very disappointing for the Aussie crowd but great effort by “Rusty”!

Djokovic advanced with ease in his first match down under.  Murray won in three sets, Del Potro needed four sets to prevail.  So….next up for Federer…Stepanek?  I only care about Roger when all is said and done.  GO FED!

Moving to Pop Culture…everyone enjoy the Golden Globes on Sunday evening?  I thought they were GREAT!  Loved to see Matthew McConaughey win Best Actor for Dallas Buyers Club…All Right, All Right, All Right!  Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence won for American Hustle  and Jared Leto joined McConaughey in collecting hardware for Dallas  Buyers Club.  Plus, Spike Jonze won best Screenplay for Her!  Really a great night!  Much more of course, but those were the highlights for me!

Until later…

Seattle and New England both advance on Saturday, Sunday games!

Posted on January 12, 2014 by susan

Seattle and New England both advanced into their respective conference title games on Saturday with wins.  In rainy and windy Seattle, the Seahawks escaped Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, 23 – 15.  They await the winner of today’s matchup between San Francisco and Carolina.  Later on Saturday, in rainy (more misting) New England, the Patriots took care of the Colts, 43 – 22.  It was a commanding performance by the Patriots, the “run oriented” Patriots.  Call it the LeGarrette Blount show…160 plus yard rushing and 4 TDs, one a beautiful 73 yard break away run from scrimmage.  Andrew Luck threw four interceptions, the last one just being a desperate throw away as time expired but he has now thrown seven interceptions in two playoff games.  Hey, he is a huge talent and it is only his second year…So, now Tom Brady and the Pats await the outcome of the late game today (Sunday), San Diego at Denver.  Can Peyton Manning and the Broncos do their part and win at home (lost to the Chargers in San Diego) to set up that huge AFC title game we all want??  Another Manning – Brady Bowl?  Stay tuned…we will find out!  GO BRONCOS!

I am back…San Francisco over Carolina, 23 – 10.  Cam Newton throws couple of costly interceptions at home.  So, we will get the team from California (northern Cali), the 49ers vs. the team from the Pacific Northwest, Seattle for the NFC Championship.  Should be a GREAT one!  No love lost between Jim Harbaugh (San Fran) and Pete Carroll (Seattle).  Interestingly they both came from the collegiate ranks in California, Harbaugh from Stanford and Carroll from USC.

Now, from Denver…a FINAL, Denver 24, San Diego 17!  So we get the matchup we were all hoping for next weekend for the AFC Championship game…Denver vs. New England…Manning – Brady again!  Furious comeback by San Diego in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter.  Phillip Rivers had 173 yards passing and 2 TDs in the fourth quarter.  Still, not enough.  Even after recovering an onside kick and going on to score to cut into the lead, Broncos prevail.  Thank you!  Denver vs. New England next weekend..be there or be square!!!

Golden Globes on tonight!  DVR is going to be hard at work…True Detective on HBO, House of Lies on SHOW, Good Wife and of course, Betrayal on ABC.  Will have a lot of catching up to do.  And, the Australian Open coverage starts tomorrow at 3:00 pm EST.  Gee, I am worn out just thinking about it all!

Until later…have a good night!
