Australian Open
By: Agrima
After Maria Sharpova's (seeded 12th place in the tennis ranking for women) defeat in the first round, Svetlana Kuznetsova (third-seeded) became the first tennis player to get into the third round of the Australian Open with a 6-2, 6-2 win over Anastasia Povlyuchenkova. This event happened on Wednesday, January 20th. Kuznetsova is a 24 year old tennis player who has done the Grand Slam Single Championships twice. Kuznetsova has a chance to reach the No.1 ranking for women tennis players for the first time if she can win the Australian Open title. Last year she lost to current women tennis champion Selena Williams after being a set-up and a break. She says that she is more confident this time and is very excited. "You have a new goal each time, and that's what makes it exciting" she says. Kuznetsova feels that this time she will probably get the title of the Australian Open. Imagine you're in the Australian Open. What goal would you set up for yourself, and why?

I would try to find the kukabura. I want to find this bird because It's song is unique. It sounds like someone laughing. I am a young animal researcher. I love wild animals including lions and tigers. I am not afraid against wildlife. Speeking of wildlife, alligaters live in Austrailia too. So I'm hoping I will find it too.
Well, if I were in the Australian Open, I would hope to win the trophy and come in first or at least in second because you still get a trophy. I would try as hard as I could and try not to get angry or upset because when tennis players get upset, as I have seen, they don't play well. Anyway, getting back to reality, I'm hoping that Roger Federer will win the Australian Open because he is my favorite player at rank no.1 in the world.
I would want to take pictures of rare animals because I am really good at photography and I really like it. I always take time to zoom and focus, and love taking moving pictures like a kangaroo in midair or a bird in flight.
Sorry, this is my real comment to Agrima's blog. If I was in the Austrailian open, I will try to win the trophy. If I don't, it's okay. I will be glad even to win third place. I am not really good at tennis, but I am good at badmington.
