A deliciously unpredictable early in the year of tennis has been summarized by the current weather out of season here in Sydney – all the clouds and Thundercracker – mixed with record high temperatures along the coast in Melbourne before the Australian Open.
And Courts of the East in the first two weeks of the season, we had a Brit 15-year, beating world number 26, a Henin / Clijsters classic final to roll back the years, a title for a player facing suspension just days before, and murmurings of a new tennis "World Cup" to keep chugging engines outside the courtroom. Delicious indeed.
So where to start?
The pervasiveness of Nikolay Davydenko seems to be the man of time on the ATP circuit. This man, I must hold my hands and admit, is rather surprising.
His relentless quest items, books and price is now supported by a living brand of flat and furious blows in Doha, said wins back-to-back on Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to win the Qatar Open, the perfect follow-up its 2009 season-ending championship success ATP World Tour in London.
Perhaps these scalps will give the idea of taking the stage next and win a major tournament (his victory over Federer was his second in three months, after seven years of effort in vain against the Swiss), but remains a long shot for the title with the talent ahead of him.
Nadal, the defending Australian Open champion, is ready to prove that his problems the end of 2009 are behind him. Some additional depth on his groundstrokes – particularly his return of serve – was evident in the first weeks 2010.
Federer will try to regain the title he won in 2007, Juan Martin Del Potro goes for the majors back to back (not on the question by all means), and Andy Murray will put some teeth behind his forehand cross, if recent evidence is something that happens in his search for a first Slam.
Add the likes of Djokovic, Roddick, Tsonga, Verdasco and Soderling, and this could be a classic tournament.
The women's event has added a pinch of turmeric Thanks for the return of Justine Henin on a wild-card. Like her compatriot Kim Clijsters at the U.S. Open last year, Henin is perfectly able to go through and win the title.
She may have fired the event in Sydney with a leg injury, but she was on the practice courts as soon she arrived in Melbourne, own research and determined.
And the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour will be hard to organize a better match this year that the finals of the Belgian pair attacked in Brisbane at the end of the week back Henin.
More than two hours and 23 minutes, they played a greatest hits collection of a match with Henin returns to the neutral position, before he edged Clijsters 8-6 in the decisive tiebreak. Stunning stuff.
After a few mediocre years, with attempts to stuttering Safina, Ivanovic and Jankovic to govern the world, we have both Williams sisters and the Belgians began to challenge the heavyweight match. Just like old times.
This does not cancel the next generation. Far from it. I'm excited about seeing new progress in 2010 from the likes of Wozniacki, Azarenka, Lisicki, Oudin and another 15 or 16 years, we have not even heard of.
