Firstly, the women's final has the potential to be something of a belter, with Dinara Safina looking to nab the trophy her brother won in 2005, while Serena Williams has proved that while she may not play that many tournaments, when it comes to the big ones she's till the one to beat.
There was also an emotional return to Australia for Jelena Dokic, whose unbelievable run to the quarter finals saw her depose of seeded players Alisa Kleybanova and Caroline Wozniacki and was fantastic to watch.
Assuming Nadal (who has yet to drop a set this tournament, even when not at his thundering best) beats Verdasco tomorrow, we're on for another Federer vs. Nadal session in Sunday's final. I'm hoping it's as epic as it promises to be...
There has been a loss felt keenly among some supporters at this year's tournament, though- a new, more grown-up T-shirt design means Nadal's arm muscles have not been as... well, let's say pronounced... as in previous years. A sad loss indeed for female fans.
And all this entertainment comes in a scorching Australian summer heatwave (something Wimbledon organisers can only dream of)... Here in wintry London, I take my woolly hat off to them.

I think the play has actually been not of the highest quality here. My highlights have been Rafael Nadal's matches, because he is so much more dynamic than Federer, and the Dokic - Kleybanova which had me on the edge of my sofa all the way through. I wanted Svetlana to win, then Vera (who was fabulous throughout the tournament except today), now C'MON DINARA AND RAFA!!!
