Good evening whoever is here. Just flew in from Bangalore and the 1st SF is underway. Azarenka up an early break and serving 3-2...

C'MON KIMMIE!!!!!!!!!!

Loads of planes flying overhead due to Australia Day and Vicky just complained to the chair about talking in the crowd

After Vicky took the opening set on that 1 break of Clijsters' serve, the Belgian is now rolling and up 5-0 in the 2nd.

Keep it going Kimmie

Kim lost 6-3 in the decider. Quite surprised, but glad as I predicted Azarenka to win the whole thing in BOTP.

Kvitova lost the first set 6-2, but she's now 3-0 up in the second.

Now 4-1, but Sharapova is still competing as hard as ever.

Morning Icon

Maria really needs to hold here or it's a 3rd set for sure...

Well done to Azarenka as she moves on into her 1st slam final.

As for Kim, too bad on 2 points. She lost the match and that was her final match at the Australian Open

Morning!

Not quite sure why I'm up, as I could have had another hour in bed, but once I saw this match I thought I could lose an hour's sleep.

Yeah, it is a shame Kim could not have at least made the final for her last AO. I do wonder if she'll make it to the end of the year, remembering what happened last time she intended to retire and lost her motivation months earlier. Still, it's been a fantastic second career.

Kvitova serves out and we're into a third set!

I still make Maria the slight favourite in this third set.

I still favour Sharapova in the 3rd and her serve will be key

C'MON MARIA!!

And btw, I am up watching this and waiting for Fed/Nadal in 2 hours because I flew in from Bangalore a couple of hours ago. My time zone travels have been pretty wacky these past two weeks. To sleep perchance to dream?? Hell no...tennis til dawn

Incredibly annoyingly I have to be at work when Fedal are playing. I may get a chance to watch a bit of it, but this is when sickie's are meant to be pulled! I will be good though.

Maria holds for 3-2, after saving break points. She almost seems more pumped than I've ever seen her right now.

Some fantastic points in that last game.

Hmmm, I think that hold may prove the turning point...
