Waterfall, Milford Sound, New Zealand, January 20

It was a 600 km bus ride round trip from Queenstown, but Milford Sound was worth the trip — it’s a wild, strange place.  The annual rain at Milford Sound is about 6 meters!  This year, most of that rain happened to fall yesterday.

Laura Robson Breaks Out!

It was a long night on Rod Laver, and it certainly wasn’t pretty, but early this morning Laura Robson defeated Petra Kvitova 2-6, 6-3, 11-9.  As my photo shows, Robson wore tennis whites.  At the Australian Open, tennis whites are so hopelessly old fashioned Robson might as well have worn a corset.  (in 1919, Suzanne Lenglen was the first woman to play on the old Centre Court without a corset).  By wearing tennis whites on Rod Laver surely Robson was giving a nod to a future championship on Centre Court!
