The 2015 Australian Open reached its ending this past weekend.
Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray in the Men's final in four sets, winning the final nine games to put the match away rather easily, after they split the first two sets in tiebreakers.
And, Serena Williams downed Maria Sharapova in the Women's final, by a competitive score of 6-3, 7-6.
There were tons of great highlights throughout the tournament, including the bizarre "Twirl-gate" during one of Eugenie Bouchard's post-match interviews, and the entertaining play of Australian up-and-comer Nick Kyrgios.

It was the coolest summer tennis Australian Open in many years, this summer has been 70 or so F compared to 100 in past years.

There was a lot of competitive matches over the two weeks.
I really enjoyed the tournament.

I missed so much of it, but what I saw was really high-quality.
When, oh when will the US men become anything?

US Open time has begun and Google even has a cool logo design for it today.
This is my favorite of all the majors and I'm watching Nadal right now.

Court conditions are gonna be brutal this week because of the heat wave. Those playing the night sessions are the lucky ones.

I don't think I could stand the place in the daytime but a cool late Summer evening, heaven. Wonder if you can enjoy the tennis that high up?
