Early Saturday morning, Serena Williams battled Justine Henin of Belgium for three tough sets before capturing her Australian Open title. Clearly the #1 player in the world, Serena laid claim to perhaps being the top female tennis player ever. Although certainly up for debate with the supporters of Martina Navratilova and Magaret Court Smith, Serena's competitive skill is without question as fierce as any player ever. Combined with her speed afoot & power of shot, an excellent case could be made on her behalf.
Roger Federer left little doubt early Sunday morning that he is the GOAT(Greatest of all time) with his straight set defeat of talented Scot, Andy Murray. Federer's 16th Grand slam title was a combination of racquet artistry, physical fitness, and tactical awareness. With this Australian Open title he begins his pursuit of a calendar Grand Slam. A real possiblity this year with Nadal being beset by injuries, and his own mastery of the grass at Wimbledon.
