Before I set off on my recap of day two, I’d like to share my ‘goal’ for the Open. My brother and I saw 46 live matches at the AO 2011. This year we plan to hit 50. We do not have to see matches in their entirety; nine games or one set is enough. Of course, if a match is good, we will see it out. This goal motivates us to see matches we would normally avoid, and spend less time watching TV. It is also a lot of fun. We started day two off on Show Court 3.
Sabine Lisicki’s abdominal strain is still an issue. Not only could she not buy a first serve in her opening match today, but her little known opponent, Stephanie Voegele, pushes her through three tight sets. Lisicki’s powerful game is streaky but far more dangerous than her opponent’s. She survives to reach the third round, but only just.
Like many other females, I have a soft spot for Ernests Gulbis. The Latvian man with striking cheekbones and quick wit has captured the hearts of many worldwide, and then proceeded to break them all. It’s business as usual for Gulbis against Michael Llodra. Gulbis is battling the wind, the crowd, his game, and his opponent. Things get tense when Llodra complains repetitively about the time Gulbis is taking - Gulbis allows himself to get distracted, and never recovers. I busy myself in studying the watch on the woman in front of me - it’s a Rolex. An accreditation pass hangs around her neck, and I peer further to try and catch which career change might afford me a Rolex. Turns out she’s a tennis player’s mother. My eyes catch the sneakers of the girl sitting next to me. It’s Shahar Peer, and she’s talking enthusiastically with her mother about something to do with Wozniacki, Jankovic, and Schiavone. Whatever the language is, at the moment I wish to understand it.
Sunday, January 8, 2012 at 7:57PM We have our first winners of the new year folks! Here is how we rang in the 2012 season:
The Brisbane International:
As new coach Ivan Lendl watched from his box, Andy Murray bagged his 22nd title by defeating Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-1, 6-3 in just 66 minutes.
Unseeded Kaia Kanepi won her 2nd WTA title, defeating Daniela Hantuchova 6-2, 6-1.
Chennai Open:
Twenty-one year old Milos Raonic blasted 35 aces in a marathon 3h 16m match to win his 2nd ATP title, defeating Janko Tipsarevic 6-7 (4), 7-6 (4), 7-6 (4).
ASB Classic:
Zheng Jei aka Jay Z won her 4th WTA title, and her first since 2006, after Flavia Pennetta retired with a back injury down 2-6, 6-3, 2-0.
Doha:
It was an all-French final but it was Jo-Wilfried Tsonga that prevailed, defeating countryman Gael Monfils 7-5, 6-3.
The Week Ahead
Play is currently underway in Sydney, Hobart, and the Heineken Open. It should be an amazing week, but the best thing about the week ahead......there are only 7 more days until the beginning of the Australian Open!!!
Let the countdown begin.
Sunday, November 27, 2011 at 10:40AM Janko Tipsarevic has had an exceptional 2011 - he won his first ATP title (he would go on to win two), he broke into the top 10 for the first time, and then he ended the year with a bang by defeating the number 1 player in the world, Novak Djokovic, at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals.
Janko was kind enough to take a little time out of his busy schedule to answer some of the questions from the OnTheGoTennis Quick Q & A. The answers are VERY quick because we corresponded by email, but I hope all the Janko fans will still enjoy it!
You’ve had a phenomenal year, now that the season is coming to a close, what would you consider your favorite moment on the court this year?
I would say that the moment didn't happen on court...It was the moment when I realized that I will finish the season in the top 10.

Janko Tipsaravic after defeating Marcos Baghdatis 6-4, 7-5 to win the Malaysian Open, capturing his first ATP World Tour title.
