Tiago Fernandes, Winner of the Junior Australian Open ( BEST POSTING)

Tiago Fernandes is the first brazilian player to win a junior gran slam. Tiago won the ITF Autralian open 2 sets above. He beated the Australian Sean Berman 7/5 6/3. It is difficult to believe that not even Gustavo Kurten (the best player Brazil ever had) won a junior gran slam while 17 years old or below.


Considering the adult's tournaments, Tiago is the fourth brazilian player to win a gran slam, joining Maria Esther Bueno (19 titles), Gustavo Kuerten (three titles in Roland Garros - 1997, 2000 e 2001) and Thomaz Koch (champion in doubles in Roland Garros- 1975).

Tiago started losing his servis, and the australian opened 2-0. Impressively, the brazilian recuperated him selve and made 2-2. At the end of the first set, Tiago broke Berman's service and won 7/5.

In the second set, things were much better for the 17 year old brazilan. He opened 3-0, making his two services and breaking berman's service. So it went, and Tiago made 5/3. The las game was really thouf for Tiago, cause Berman made a lot of break points. Fortunatly, Tiago didn't lose his service. He ended the match with an outstanding ace, and realizing he had made history, Tiago droped his raquet and didn't believe what he had done. He had become the first brazilian to win a junior gran slam

Madrid Open 2010

The way Rafael Nadal has been playing on clay, it's hard to imagine he won't take home another great titles like this one. Nadal improved tremendously this season and won a record 18th Masters title Sunday, beating the top-ranked Roger Federer 6-4, 7-
(5) in the Madrid final. with this achivement,Rafael Nadal will become the number two of the world once more.


Nadal is now preparing himself for the french open as well as Federer. I think both of this players will do an amazing job as done in this tournment. Personally, I wich all the best for Roger Federer because I want him to win his next tournment.

Youzhny Captures the BMW Open

Mikhail Youzhny beated Marin Cilic of Croatia 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 on Sunday, and won the BMW Open for his first title of the year. The Russian captured the BMW Open at his third attempt in the final, having lost in 2007 and 2009.

Youzhny won in 2 hours, 52 minutes and won his sixth career title. The set he lost was the only one he lost all week.

Cilic, who was seeking his third title of the year, wasted break points to prevent Youzhny from winning the first set. He amazingly started with a 3-0 lead before clinching the second set. But one break in the third was enough for Youzhny to take the title.

I saw the whole game and I could see how both of these players tryid hard to win the tournment. Youzhny has shown an impressive tennis sins the beggining of the year and has beated top players like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. If he continues like this, he will be in the top ten for a long time.
