My 2008 Tennis Wish List.

1. That Roger Federer continues to be glorious.

2. That Nikolai Davydenko gets a pardon from the Russian Mafia godfather and we don't have to talk about match fixing in tennis anymore.

3. That Jelena Jankovic realises that she isn't going to win a slam if she can't serve.

4. That Lleyton Hewitt starts walking instead of talking.

5. That Maria Sharapova can actually account for all the dollars she is given for apparently being a "superstar" of tennis. How many slams did she win last year??? I forget!

6. That tennis commentators try to find a way to not piss me off this year. Sometimes the mute button is my best friend. I would marry Jim Courier tomorrow if he asked however. Is that wrong??

7. I know she's already been hung, drawn and quartered over it but I hope that the ITF further investigate the drug charges against Martina Hingis. Call me naive but I smell a rat. I still can't get my head around it. She may be a bit silly, naive and a little ignorant (at times) but I refuse to believe she is that stupid. It would seem that most people in tennis agree with me and this guilty until proven innocent philosophy applied to drugs in sport is just plain ridiculous and unproductive!

8. That Hawkeye continue its winning streak against players. Come on, it's funny watching players getting it wrong! '

9. That Roger cries again. It makes me love him even more!

10. That Rafa Nadal and Maria Sharapova et al realise that a limit of 20 seconds between points isn't optional.

11. That Venus and Serena continue to win Grand Slam tournaments. Tennis is better when they do!
