Welcome back, Grand Slam Tennis. Brief thoughts so far:

Andy looked good against Lopez last night.

Terrible day on the court for Kim Clijsters, who went out 6-0, 6-1 to Nadia Petrova.

Interesting to see Justine Henin return to tennis at Melbourne, site of her "all negative stereotypes regarding women's sports are true" moment in 2006. I thought she played okay from what I saw on ESPN.

Andy Roddick is a ridiculous tease. I can't believe I just spent almost 4 hours watching him blow it, recover, and still blow it. Being up 0-40 the first game of the 5th set is that match's equivalent of the 4th set tiebreak(?) last year at Wimbledon.

What does he do? Win 13 consecutive games. In the quarterfinals of a mens' hardcourt grand slam. Unbelievable.

And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." -Ayrton Senna
