The Australian Open may be the Grand Slam that American tennis audiences pay the least attention to, but this year something very special is going on. Early Thursday morning in the U.S., Roger Federer (age 35) advanced to the men's final. Just a few hours earlier, Serena Williams (age 35) advanced to the women's final, where she'll face her sister, Venus (age 36). See a trend? Three finalists with a combined age of 106.
