Australian Open: Federer again

Just to get off my bitterness about the CWC being broadcast on pay-per-view and the fact that if I want to watch it on TV I'm effectively paying TWICE...

Roger Federer must be the most dominating athlete on the planet right now. People may decry men's tennis because of a lack of rivalry for Federer, but it's not his fault. He just plays amazing tennis, on all surfaces, against all opponents.

On the ladies' front, one Pat Cash must certainly be eating crow regarding Serena Williams's chances. She showed that she's still capable of dominating the game even after injury layoffs and dealing with difficult family circumstances. Well done.

Update: Pat Cash did make a half-hearted attempt to eat his humble pie, although he stopped short of giving credit to Serena and instead blamed it on the lack of quality on the WTA. He's kind of right, I think, however Serena still had to play the games and won in dominating fashion.
