I hope Caroline wins too. It's a long time coming for her.

Yes, it was.

I was surprised that Halep came back & won the 3rd set after Kerber got the lead on her. Ho hum match Federer had. Did not last long.

I'm back, Theresa. I apologize for my absence. I'm really sad about Nole being forced to retire due to his hip. He started out well, but in the back of my mind, i had a bad feeling this would happen.

On a much better note, i really hope that Caro will win in the women's singles final later tonight. She has been playing well and i hope that the third time will be the charm for her.

It was. Hopefully everyone stayed up to watch it. That final set though was not looking good for her. She really let Simona back in it, but tears of joy certainly were in order for perhaps most of her fans too. She gets to be ranked #1 in the world to which I think was mentioned that it's the longest amount of time between being ranked #1 by a player in history. It's been almost 6 years since she's been ranked #1 in the WTA rankings.

I did want to mention also, what was up with so many men wearing pink during this tournament? I think there was at least 4 different men wearing usually a pink & black shirt & perhaps pink shorts too. I was just curious if this is like a new thing or maybe it's happened before.

Congrats to Caroline! Very happy for her. I feel bad for Halep, but her time will come.

I was thinking the exact same thing!! I cannot stand all the pink and bright colors, like bright green, bright orange, etc. It's like a rainbow of highlighters. I hate it.

I like the pink.

I did want Cilic to win the Men's championship but Federer won. I'm still pleased for Cilic though. He looked to be in great spirits and I am excited to see him in other tournaments this year.

I did too.

And I am glad that Cilic started playing better and took it to five sets.

I think as Australia is the happy slam they do generally dress the players in brighter colours than say RG.

Marin did very well to stick with Roger, I believe he will win another if he continues to make these finals.
