I was expecting fireworks in the women's finals match, but it ended with a whimper. It's just not Justine's day - her serves are not going in, and she's making too many unforced errors. Mauresmo must've sensed something was wrong because the normally aggressive French was happy to simply keep the ball in play until Justine makes a mistake. After losing the first set in just 33 minutes, Justine called for the trainer, and had some medication. Two games in the second set, she went up to the umpire to announce she's giving up the match after only 52 minutes of matchplay. So after seven long years, Mauresmo finally wins her first Grand Slam title in a most anti-climactic way. Score 6-1, 2-0.
It's a good thing I watched the match at home. I would've demanded a refund if I had been in the Rod Laver Arena.
