2010 Australian Open in Review (countown to Final)

My Top 10 Moments

10. James Blake making it to the 3rd Round! Looks like he's getting his head in order. (J-Block for life!)

9. Andy Roddick making it to a the Quarters and cussing out a chair ump along the way.

8. John Isner, ranking #2 in America, making it to the 3rd Round. Go, big man, go!

7. Maria Sharapova out in the 1st Round to Maria Kirilenko.

6. Roger's rout of Tsonga in the Semi-Final, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, in less than an hour and a half.

5. Kim Clijsters demolished by Nadia Petrova in the 3rd Round and then admitting she played like crap.

4. Andy Murray, the hope of Britain, reaching the AO Final.

3. Roger Federer's 23rd consecutive Grand Slam Semi-Final appearance.

2. Justine Henin's epic return and ride to the Final where she lost in 3 sets to Serena Williams.

1. Davydenko destroying Roger in the Semi-Final in the first 1.5 sets and then getting spanked the rest of the way. The world went cross-eyed.

Honorable mention - Santoro plays his last match extending his career over 4 decades.
