Dubai: 2 Novak Djokovic d 1 Roger Federer - 63 63
Very impressive win for Novak as he remains undefeated this year.
This marks the first time in his career he's done a 3-peat.
He also becomes the 7th active player to win at least 20 titles.
A lot of tennis headlines have been sounding the Fed & Nadal 'end of era'.
Too soon: Let's hold off and revisit that after Wimbledon, shall we?

Acapulco: 1 David Ferrer d 3 Nicolas Almagro - 76(4) 67(2) 62

Delray: Juan Martin Del Potro d Janko Tipsarevic - 64 64
Look out guys: Someone's comeback just got a solid shot in the arm.
This is Juan's 1st title since winning the US Open in '09.
He was sidelined for most of 2010 with a career-threatening wrist injury.
Delray Beach represented his 5th tournament this season.
He's rocking a nice 13-4 W/L - which includes Sf's in San Jose & Memphis.
His ranking just spiked to #89 - FOUR weeks ago he was ranked #485.
It was a matter of time - but who knew it would be this fast?
Doha: 2 Vera Zvonareva d 1 Caroline Wozniacki - 64 64
Vera improves her finals record to 11-16 and H2H with Caro to 4-4.
Acapulco: 4 Gisella Dulko d Arantxa Parra Santonja - 63 76(5)
This is Gisella's 4th WTA title - but perhaps she had a bigger week for this:
She & Flavia became co-#1's on the the women's doubles rankings.

Australian Open - Women's Doubles Final
1 Dulko/Pennetta d 12 Azarenka/Kirilenko - 26 75 61
Here is a quiz...
Who's #1 in the world without a Slam aided in their rank by Serena's injury?
This used to be a trick question: Caroline Wozniacki AND Dulko/Pennetta.
That is, until yesterday when the top ranked team finally won their 1st Slam.
And they did it coming back from a set and a break down.
A message from their Twitter:
So many messages, so much support...just one word to say THANKS!!!!
Great effort ladies.

Elena Vesnina & Vera Zvonareva d 1 Williams Sisters - 36 63 64
This is a Wimbledon for Venus to forget - 2 Qf losses, singles & now doubles.
Vera however is having a time of it - a semifinalist in both disciplines.
The Williams Sisters had won the last 4 Slams & wanted a true calendar Slam.
A single break of serve in the 3rd ends their dream. Tennis can be cruel.

Remember, this lovely duo won a pair of Aussie Open's a decade ago.
Today they beat Anne Hobbs & Samantha Smith - 62 64.
Ah, the smile that made millions of dollars.
And the pout that made even millions more...

1 Serena Williams & Venus Williams
d 12 Kveta Peschke & Katarina Srebotnik - 62 63
*****
The Williams Sisters win their 2nd RG title ('99) & 12th Grand Slam.
The win moves them as a doubles team to #1.
Which means they have it all: #'s 1 & 2 in singles - #1 in doubles.
That is unreal on soooooo many levels.
Serena is the 1st woman since Kim Clijsters in '03 to hold both #1 rankings.
They are now the title holders of all 4 Grand Slam events.
They have been quite outspoken about going for the calendar Slam.
