On the women's side the title goes to Vera Zvonareva. Its about time she captured a big tournament. Safina's run to number one was slashed by Viktoria Azarenka, who with her performance was able to break into the WTA top 10 of singles and doubles. She went on to lose to Zvonareva in the semis. Zvonareva took down Ivanovic in the finals 7-6(5), 6-2 for the championship. Not only did she shine in singles, but she also captured the doubles title with Azarenka, beating Shahar Peer and Martinez Sanchez in the final. Overall it was a great showing for a lot of the youngsters and signals an exciting season ahead.
On the men's side, all hail Nadal. Once again the champion battled through the draw. Roddick ended up beating Djockovic in a full match, those who remember their meeting at the Australian will appreciate that. Roddick lost in the semis to Nadal. Federer on the other side of the draw beat Gonzales in 3 sets, then beat Verdasco in two for the quarters and lost to Murray 6-1 in the 3rd. In the finals, Nadal destroyed Murray 6-1, 6-2. This was the 3rd consecutive time he took out Murray. Can the guy be stopped? The surprise on the men's side came in doubles, when the 1 seeded Bryan Brothers lost to unseeded Max Mirnyi and Andy Ram in the semis. The Bryan brothers were the only seeds to even make it to the semis as there were a lot of upsets and the title went to childhood friends Mardy Fish and Andy Roddick in what must have been a very exciting final with the score of 3-6, 6-1, 14-12.
