LHK Sporting News

1) Yowza! There was some major tennis action last night at the Aussie Open. Maria Sharapova beat an injured Jelena Jankovic and is heading to the final. She'll meet Ana Ivanaovic there, who came back from a bagel in the 1st set to beat Daniela Hantuchova in 3 sets! But even crazier than that, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga UPSET Rafa Nadal by beating him in a convincing 3 set win and is headed to the men's final!

The big match tonight is the 2nd men's semi-final between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. (I don't want to jinx it but) here's hoping for another upset and redemption for Djokovic, who almost beat Federer at the 2007 U.S. Open championship match (and also maybe even a little redemption for Novak's countryman, Janko Tipsarevic, who almost took Roger out in the 3rd round of this tournament).

2) Ooh-OOH! Chelsea beat Everton yesterday and are headed to Wembley for the final of the Carling Cup against Tottenham. So at least, we have a shot at one trophy this season.
