And by all standards, next year’s championships are anticipated to be among the most exciting in the sport’s glorious history. In 2008, new stars rose to claim their maiden Grand Slam titles as Ana Ivanovich won her first French Open trophy and Novak Djokovic emerged the victor of the men’s singles in Australia. This year’s US Open saw attendance levels hit all-time highs, while the 2008 Wimbledon tournament was dubbed one of the best ever. On the tennis club’s legendary emerald grass, the incomparable Williams sisters met in the women’s singles finals (Venus beat Serena in straight sets), and Rafael Nadal defeated Roger Federer for the men’s singles title in what Sports Illustrated called the “greatest match ever.” More Grand Slam thrillers are expected to follow as the game’s greatest continue their storied rivalries in 2009.
