Exciting times for players even the players stuck in the snow. Who do you consider winning the Australian Tournament in 2010, repeated favorites; Federer, Nadal or perhaps Murray. Or possibly an upset from a tennis player who is just playing better than the remainder right nowadays like Del Potro, Roddick or perhaps Djokovic?

On the Women’s Side it could be any one of a number of potential tennis players: Henin, William Sisters?, possibly Safina, Clijsters, Jankovic or everyone’s hopeful Ana Ivanovic. Day 1 results are already in and Maria Sharapova has already been from the aussie tourney by her countrywomen Maria Kirilenko.

All we really know is that there will be some special tennis, some long-term memories and the internal hope for ourselves to get out on the courts and play some tennis.

Here’s some Day 1 Results:
Former top-ranked Maria Sharapova was a surprise 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-4 loser Monday to fellow Russian Maria Kirilenko.

U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro beat American Michael Russell 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 6-2 and No. 5 Andy Murray defeated South Africa’s Kevin Anderson 6-1, 6-1, 6-2.

Later Monday, another former No. 1 also on the comeback trail, seven-time Grand Slam singles winner Henin, advanced with a 6-4, 6-3 win over fellow Belgian Kirsten Flipkens. Henin lost to Clijsters in the Brisbane International final 10 days ago in her return to the tour.

Henin’s next match is against fifth-seeded Elena Dementieva, who downed Vera Dushevina 6-2, 6-1.

In other women’s play, last year’s finalist, second-seeded Dinara Safina, won her first-round match, beating Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia 6-4, 6-4. Two other Russians also won — No. 3 and French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova beat Anastasia Rodionova of Australia 6-1, 6-2.
