			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Melissa Cook is the diehard Novak Djokovic fan who had his sweaty shirt ripped from her grasp at the Australian Open 2012 final. The shirt was snatched by a woman standing nearby the 14 year old.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I  started crying because I couldn&#8217;t believe that something I truly believe  he meant for me was taken by someone else,&#8221; the tearful teen said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I  had been yelling out to him the whole match and he had looked up and  acknowledged me and then at the end he came straight over to my  direction and threw the shirt up.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Honestly I think it is all a load of crap. Why would anyone believe Novak wanted them to specifically have their sweaty shirt.. plus more importantly why would anyone want his sweaty shirt!</p>

<p>Victoria Azarenka is the new world number 1 and Australian Open 2012 womens singles champion!</p>
<p>Sharapova got an early 2-0 lead, but since then has struggled to win a game. Sharapova has just sat at the baseline and hit out for the whole match without success. Azarenka has been out hitting Sharapova from the baseline, but Sharapova has never even thought about changing her game plan.</p>
<p>Azarenka has been so pumped up throughout and claimed the title 6-3 6-0.<br />

<blockquote><p>&#8220;When you have a guy in front of you who return  everything, even when you serve 215 [kilometers per hour], it put lot of  pressure,&#8221; Tsonga said. &#8220;It&#8217;s tough to play against him because he run a  lot and everything&#8217;s coming back. Even when he&#8217;s far in the point, he  come back on his line.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomas Berdych acted like a child at the Australian Open 2012 and was booed off court after Nicolas Almagro hit a ball that struck Berdych during a point toward the end of  the fourth set. Berdych thought this was done deliberately, but come on its a serious game of tennis and you need to do whatever you have to do to win.</p>
<p>Almagro put the shot away and then approached the net to apologize, but Berdych didn’t respond to him.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/tenniscom-news/%7E4/_GNO-WDF_Uo" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>

<p>Shame.. I can now see Kim Clijsters going on to make the final and possibly even win the title.</p>

<p>Lleyton Hewitt has continued his great run in the Australian Open 2012. Hewitt defeated (23) Milos Raonic 4-6, 6-3,  7-6 (5), 6-3 in a todays night match.</p>
<p>Hewitt has been struggling with recent injuries, but he still looks very determined and has been working really hard to show some good results.</p>
<p>Raonic has also been struggling with injuries and Im sure he will be back in the later stages of the Australian Open in the coming years.<br />

<p>David Nalbandian was fined $8,000 for his outburst on Friday where he threw water at a staff member at the Australian Open. The incident happened in his match against John Isner and frankly <a title="David Nalbandian Out of Australian Open 2012 Because of Bad Call By Umpire and Match Referee" href="http://thetennistimes.com/david-nalbandian-out-of-australian-open-2012-because-of-bad-call-by-umpire-and-match-referee/">I can easily see why he got upset</a>!</p>
<p>Nalbandian commented about his penalty and said, &#8220;ridiculous playing this kind of tournament with this kind of umpires.&#8221;</p>
<p>Other penalties included:</p>
<p>Julien Benneteau&#8217;s $2,500 penalty for verbal abuse is the next highest.</p>
<p>Marcos Baghdatis was fined $1,250 for smashing four rackets on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Overall, I think Baghdatis got the best out of the penalties, it could have been a lot worse! Additionally, it got him a huge amount of press!<br />

<blockquote><p>“I think it’s extremely disappointing, but I have to give him a bit  of credit. Probably for an hour and a half he might have missed less  than five balls,” Ebden said.</p>
<p>Here I am doing what I love, so I’m just going to take it on the  chin, look to be better, stronger, fitter, become a better player out of  it and try to win that one next time.</p></blockquote>
