Ok, officially done with the cricket tonight. C'mon Jelena and Marat!

I have that match on a DVD. My favourite tenis match along with Rafter vs. Ivanisevic Wimbledon 2001.

...Rafter,great player and that was a good match....good looking bloke too,a bonus for the female fan....

anyways,watching the match with Ivanovic for an hour before i depart to the hairdressers....she's just gone a set down...

He's done pretty well for himself with Lara Felton too.

Hmm, I could live with Dokic winning the other day, but this on is too much, give it up.

Also annoying we have tennis on two separate channels, including one with interactive coverage but they are both showing the Wozniacki match so can't watch Ivanovic who looks close to going out.

...agreed...

lost the play on the Ivanovic match...last I heard she was 3 - 2 down in the second and about to break back to 3 all....

watching the Wozniacki/Dokic match..bit of a thriller...


(like the avatar by the way..) ^^^

 

[superkingdave]

mind you Wozniacki is getting smashed. Latter stages of the women's tournament not going to have much worth watching at this rate

Ivanovic just got broken again, so 4-3 down now.

Wow. Dokic breaking again. Just got to serve it out now. Just incredible tennis from her. I have to say that I'm only too thrilled she's putting on such a great performance.

EDIT: Agree with Alica Molik's comment there; we're all proud of her. Did a victory dance as soon as she won. Liking this post-match interview too.

 

[duffer]

Yes!

 

[vogue]

Dokic wins....interesting result there...

 

[duffer]

Haha, Marat is such a dude, even in 15 second interviews.

 

[vogue]

Ivanovic match at one set all....bit of a drama there too...

...picked a bad time to go to the hairdressers...Safin/Federer match just started....Safin a bit of a tasty dude..mmm

(will be a good match too....)

 

[duffer]

Federer dropped a whole two points off his serve in the first set. Wow, just wow.

 

[Johnners]

Awesome stuff from Dokic!

 

[_Ed_]

Ivanovic gone!

 

[Dydl]

And Kleybanova finally wins. Should have closed it off in the 2nd set, but came through anyway. Still a relatively big upset, even though Ivanovic isn't playing at her best.

 

[_Ed_]

Fantastic service games from Safin in this 3rd set.

 

[_Ed_]

All over.

 

[duffer]

All over.

I love Federer though. He is pure class.

 

[Mister Wright]

Dokic!

Few things:

1) Ana is so hot in purple
2) The chick (if you want to call her that) that Ana lost to was grotty. Squeezing the sweat out of her ball of hair almost made my mates vomit
3) Ana fist pumping every point is annoying, and she deserved to go out. Even the commentators were saying its over the point. It loses any effectiveness if you do it every point, especially when the opposition makes an error
4) Wawrinka
5) Marat
6) I love Marat, always have and always will, especially when he implodes. But I feel he went too far having a crack at the linesman during the centre line foot fault. The guy in the crowd that yelled "Suck it up princess" was right, and when he started saying the linesman made the call because he wanted to get on TV, it was pretty stiff. He was right up in his face too.
7) Seriously surprised at Dokic's win. Good on her.
