Aussie women's final moving to nighttime (AP)
Published 5/17/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - Tennis News
The Australian Open women's singles final will be a night match in 2009, and defending champion Maria Sharapova thinks it will be a good move. "The atmosphere at Melbourne Park at night is great and the cooler conditions allow the players to really produce their best," said Sharapova, who beat Ana Ivanovic in January in this year's Saturday afternoon final.
