Mr. Federer to serve in Miami

Mr. Federer to serve in Miami…as the Sony Open gets underway in full swing.  Roger won his match today over the big serving Croatian I. Karlovic, 6-4, 7-6.  Fed looked very good, very few unforced errors, hit the ball crisply and served quite well.  Karlovic is a tough out so that was a good win for Federer to start his play in Miami.  Very cute moment shown on TV in the tunnel before taking the court, Fed getting a “good luck” kiss from very pregnant wife, Mirka (due in July with their third child).  Novak Djokovic had little trouble today, advancing over J. Chardy of France, 6-4, 6-3.  Chardy made it a bit more of a match in both sets, coming back from a break down in the first before succumbing and then injuring his ankle in the final game of the second set.  Andy Murray will take to the court later tonight against Ebden.  David Ferrer returned to tournament play with a easy win over Gabashvili, 6-4, 6-0.  Rafa must not begin his action at this event until tomorrow (#1 seed, #1 in the world).  Federer has not played this event in a couple of years so he can pick up some much needed points headed into the clay court season…the road to Roland Garros (French Open).  He trails David Ferrer (#4) by a mere 100 points and fellow countryman Stan Wawrinka (#3…that just sounds weird) by around 600 points.

On the women’s side..Azarenka is not in action due to her injured foot.  After her poor performance at Indian Wells due to the injury, she has wisely decided to recuperate and sit this one out.  Jankovic, Vinci, and Bouchard (the Canadian darling of the Australian Open) were all upset today.  A. Radwanska showed no effects from her injured left knee (suffered in the final at Indian Wells) and easily defeated Oprandi of Switzerland, 6-0, 6-4.  Her movement was superb and she looks to be in fine form.  Li Na advanced into the third round thanks to a walk over.  Serena Williams (#1 seed and world #1) won yesterday as did Sharapova and big sis Venus is in action tonight.  Hope Venus has a good tournament, she should be feeling very confident after winning in Dubai (her first tournament win in quite some time!)

In the “Dance”, some upsets!  Harvard (hotties) are at it again, taking out Ohio State.  Also, Texas took out Arizona State last night.  And today, DUKE LOST!!  They fell to Mercer, 76-71.  My bracket is officially busted…I had Duke in my final four!

So. until tomorrow…have a great night!
