Babolat Tennis Racquets

What was so surprising to see at this year’s Australian Open was the prevalence of Babolat Rackets and Head Racquets. If Rafael Nadal and Kim Clijsters had performed as expected, Babolat would have had an excellent showing of its amazing racket technology.

The thing that separates Babolat from other racket manufacturers is the one piece design. You have an amazing one piece carbon fibre frame that delivers excellent power, exceptional shock absorption, and great feel. Only the troublesome vibrations are filtered out leaving the low end frequencies a player needs to feel confident of the racket’s response. Take a closer look at Babolat rackets and their racket technology. Top pro tennis stars including Andy Roddick, Kim Clijsters, Li Na, Rafael Nadal, Dinara Safina, and now Jo Wilfried Tsonga use Babolat Rackets.

Roger Federer Wins Again – Grand Slam 16

Despite the valiant effort UK Tennis Star Andy Murray made to win a grand slam final for Britain, he wasn’t able to measure up the calibre of play that Roger Federer brought in this year’s Australian Open. Federer blazed to an easy victory over Murray in three straight sets. Federer was in fine form the whole tournament only losing 2 sets during all his matches. It was his 16th Grand Slam win.

Serena Williams beats Justine Henin at the Australian Open

A great women’s singles championship final saw apparently injured Serena Williams win her 12th Grand Slam win in Melbourne 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 over newly returned Justine Henin. Henin battled hard but didn’t have enough to stop Williams. It was Williams 5th Australian Open win. The win moved Williams up in all time wins with the likes of Chris Evert and Billie Jean King but well short of the 24 championships held by Margaret Court. Williams accepted the trophy from the 67 year old Women’s tennis legend Margaret Court and then went on applaud Billie Jean King as her mentor.

Henin had won four of their six previous meetings at the majors, including three straight quarterfinal victories in 2007. About the free swinging Henin, Williams said, “She took me to the umpteenth level,” “She clearly hasn’t lost a step at all since she’s been gone.”

Roger Federer Ousts Nikolay Davydenko

Nikolay Davydenko came out flying against Roger Federer Wednesday in the Australian Open Tennis Championships. It was the quarter finals and Federer was leary of the match with the hard hitting and feisty speedster from Russia. When the dust settled, Federer won 2-6, 6-3, 6-0, 7-5. After losing the first set, Federer took a bathroom break and came back to win 3 straight sets. Serena Williams used the same tactic in her match against Victoria Azarenka where a washroom break threw off her opponent. Expect more washroom breaks in upcoming matches.

He was sick before the match and during a medical timeout. “Just a terrible feeling. It’s been a great tournament for me, so it’s just a bad way to not to be able physically go through the whole match.” Djokovic said in a post match interview. Even with the loss Djokovic moves up to 2nd in Mens rankings on the WTP rankings.

Henin Beats Dementieva to Move on

With Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin both having great success coming out of retirement, we might see more players coming back for a second shot. Clearly, these two women are having fun this time and playing surprising well. Alena Dementieva suffered the misfortune of being in the same part of the draw as Justine Henin and found herself back on her heels in a 7-5 7-6(6) loss to Henin.

Dementieva said “I think I just let her play that aggressively today. You know, I was not playing deep enough. So I just let her dictate the whole game. That’s not the way I was planning to go, you know, on the court,” said Dementieva. “I just think it’s really interesting to play against someone like her. She’s a great player. Playing against her, you really can learn a lot and improve your game.”

This Henin’s 8th appearance at the Australian Open and she won the ladies singles crown in 2004.
