The Nike brigade for the title. At a combined 210 dB's (I know dB's are not just added, but you get the point) this will be heard around the world (or at least all the way to the Sidney harbor). Throat-to-throat is 3-3.
A final that should be covered by Sports Illustrated, Vogue, Maxim's and Vladimir Nabokov.

I don't think I've laughed so loud here since Jack disappeared from this group.

lol, that's a good one. I thought this was a typo at first.

I think I'll watch with the sound muted. I'm going with Maria in 3 - her attitude seems to be that she will not be denied, but I'll be just as happy to see Vika take home the prize.

If ESPN wanted non-tennis fans to watch this, they could always say: "Can't find any porn to watch? Here's the next best thing."

I actually like both players and will be happy with either or but Maria has been my girl since her Wimby win

I prefer to call it Whalesongs: A Grand Slam Final in Three Acts. It will be sure to be dramatic, but I'm on the Vika train for this slam.

There's not a lot in it on the tale of the tape (recorder)



Maria (right) has the height advantage, but Victoria (left) has the longer reach.

Seriously though, it's very difficult to call. Very impressed by the determination and defensive abilities of both players during their semi finals (Vika is reminding me a little of Novak, with her consistently improving movement and excellent backhand).

Whoever wins, it'll be a good story, and it seems like a fitting end to the number #1 'debate'...for now, at least

As someone tweeted the other day, "if you think those are sex sounds, you've been watching some f'd up porn."

Anyway, I'll be watching muted simply in order to avoid the incessant references to the shrieking by commentators.

And I have no idea who's winning, but I'll be happy either way.

This is tough. I think this is the easier match-up for Vika (as opposed to Kvitova), but I do worry about Vika's nerves. Look at her serving at the end of the last game of her semi. If Kim could have gotten out of that game, who knows what might have happened.

Indeed. I picked Sharapova in straights because of her experience and her great results here. Azarenka has come a LONG way, but I'm not sure she'll be able to control her nerves enough to not drop an easy service game or two.
