My right arm feels like it's about to fall off from farming yesterday, so I'll be brief again.

Victoria Azarenka will defeat Petra Kvitova in today's final, though I'd be happy to be wrong. So long as Petra's shots stay inside the lines, she has a chance. Here's hoping for three tough sets.

And to quote pompelmo (great to see outside a Slam, dude), "it will be the man who cannot lose on dirt, against the man who cannot lose... historical match-up." Indeed. Someone's streak will have to end. I have a sneaking suspicion Novak Djokovic will have to settle for a tie with Bjorn Borg for second longest winning streak to start a season at 31-0, while Rafael Nadal goes marching on.

What say you?
