Marat Safin won his second Grand Slam title in his career by winning the Australian Open against
Lleyton Hewitt. He came back from a set down and 4-1 down to win in 4 sets. Previously if Safin
found himself in this position he would have thrown in the towel but he showed a mature attitude
and hung in the match until he was able to turn it around.
In the ladies finals Serena Williams also came back from a set down to defeat Davenport.

The club championships are well under way and on schedule to finish on the 26, 27 Feb,
depending on the weather. The doubles finals will be played on Saturday afternoon starting at
