My wife appears to be Novak Djokovic's girlfriend!!!

I'm sitting in front of the TV a couple of nights ago, and I'm watching the Australian Open tennis.  OK, so I've never really been into the tennis.  I'm not the sort of person to become a "fan" of a particular team or player, and I don't really watch a lot of sports. It's my wife's fault really that I've been watching so much tennis, and I've found myself getting a little hooked.  There, I've admitted to it. It started with the 2011 Australian Open, and while I haven't watched any tennis in the whole year since, when the 2012 Australian Open started, I found myself drawn to the TV, and then glued as I've watched the likes of Djokovic, Murray, Nadal, and Federer dazzling us with great displays of strength, stamina, agility, and finesse. As I type this in, I'm watching the Semi-final between Djokovic and Murray,  It's been a grueling 3 hours, and the 3rd set is locked at 5-5 with Djokovic serving.

The tennis has been very entertaining.  I'm looking forward to seeing Nadal in the final, because his energy is infectious, and I keep finding myself in awe of his ability to get to the ball no matter where he and the ball are on the court.  Yet with all of the really great tennis that's being played, I find myself waiting for the camera to do it's pans of the crowd, and in particular when the camera switches to the player's guest seating to show the reactions of the coaches, and girlfriends, and other hangers on.  For me though, I've been having the most fun when Djokivic's girlfriend (Jelena Ristic) appears.
