Am I the only person who thinks this is a remarkable feat? I'm sure if Roger Federer had won the men's singles AND doubles titles, we would hear no end to what a miraculous accomplishment that was.
Anyway, congratulations to Serena who just becomes more and more impressive in my book. And, let me also point out how much I loved what she was wearing. I'm sure lots and lots of those dresses will be sold. The Maria Sharapova dress, on the other hand, will be available at 75% off in just a few more weeks. (FYI - the Serena dress was also $20 cheaper at my fav tennis shopping spot!)
Here's Serena in her great Australian Open 2010 dress:

I think most of the media were hoping that Serena would crash and burn or that she would be beaten by the best female player to ever play the game (at least in their own minds), Justine Henin. Serena however had a date with destiny and I for one was quite happy that she not only won the singles, but doubles as well. A remarkable achievement in this day and age, and she did it with her legs wrapped in swaths of bandage during the whole tournament. I doubt if we will ever see Fed playing singles and doubles at the majors. Perhaps if he was younger, but I doubt he will risk that especially when he is on the cusp of equalling Sampras' record in terms of number of weeks at No. 1
agree with anonymous. Serena spoiled the Henin comeback party. good for her!
