This Aussie Open: so emo

There's been one heightened display of emotionalism after another at this Australian Open—David Nalbandian, anyone?—and just about every instance of it has been warranted. From lame line calls (or non-calls) to the crowd raining down boos after a sportsman's slight to the never-ending tizzy over the women's finalists' sound effects, just about everyone seems ... edgy.

This "Emotions of the Game" video highlights the best of that zest. Check it out:

Now for the Spin's favorite pieces of this clip:

0:08 — Marcos Baghdatis' serial killing of four racquets will go down as one of the most memorable visuals of this Grand Slam event. In truth, Baghdatis practically owns this entire clip. He certainly provides the percussion.

0:14 — Holy visor tanline, Vera Zvonareva!

0:21 — Ana Ivanovic is rather awkward at celebrating. It almost looks like she injures herself, or stumbles.

0:26 — A crazy-eyed Lleyton Hewitt, looking like he's just been bitten by the cobra that used to inspire his fist pump.

0:32 — Wow. Just how big is Rafael Nadal's left bicep? It's been obscured in recent years since his gravitation to sleeves, but it's quite perky these days.

1:02 — Forget his one-sided rumble with Tomas Berdych. Nicolas Almagro plays raging bull in this Aussie Open's best collision.

1:05 — You make your points, Sorana Cirstea and Nalby. The tennis world heard you loud and clear.

1:15 — There you go, Ana. Much better.

1:17 and 1:21 — Still, no one knows how to "Vamos!" and "Come on!" like Nadal and Maria Sharapova. (Any idea what she says in that last clip?) Just ruthless in this tournament, both. Next to no one has such relentless willpower.

Enjoy these finals, tennis fans. And, whether you're a Djokehead or a Rafanatic, whether you're firmly anti-grunting or fancy a good shriek, consider yourselves blessed.
