Okay, I hope I’m not the only one who follows tennis enough to be into the Australian Open. It’s a solid tournament this year, with plenty of interesting twists so far.

My predictions:

1. Men: Andre Agassi will win his 4th Australian Open in only 7 attempts. I know, Lleyton Hewitt is the favorite, but I saw how Andre smoked him in the semis of the U.S. last year and Andre is playing that kind of tennis again.

2. Women: Serena will win, but it will probably be against someone other than Venus. I’m not sure on where they’d meet in the draw, but I wouldn’t be too shocked to see Henin(with her new last name attached) to be her strongest opponent.

What do you guys/gals think?
