Jankovic has gone. 2-0, but brilliant stuff. Jankovic has no 'Plan C'

Great serving but Ivanovic' clench fisting is becoming annoying.

Too late for me to be a glory hunter.

I'd almost forgotten how obnoxious the Djokovic family (especially the little brother) were at the Australian Open (not forgetting his supporters and the man himself).

Good to see Nadal crush him in straight sets after a scare in the third.

"Aussie Ana" has proved she's not a choker.

6-4, 6-3.

Highly entertaining final. There was five breaks of serve in the first set, and rather than being evidence of poor play, it was rather a case of both just switching off at crucial moments and being punished for it. Plenty of games could have gone either way. Overall, Ivanovic was the better player.

Now for Nadal v Federer....

Really can't see anything but a straight sets win for Rafa.

Fed will have my admiration just for trying to compete.

John Lloyd agrees with me that if Federer wins today he deserves to be considered the greatest player of all time.

I agree with John Lloyd and Rogin.

Early break to Rafa.

Make that 2 early breaks.

Fred Stolle (former French Open winner) and Wally Masur (former French Open semi finalist) are doing the Australian tv commentary. Both said Roger needed to win the first set. If that's true, he's in the shit already.

2 early breaks... this is looking very ominous.

3 breaks. First set 6-1.

Federer hasn't won a point on his second serve.
