Neither of these guys will beat Federer. Had hopes for Davydenko, but he's gone to pot under pressure.

Don't write off Davydenko yet.

Courier's wrong in my opinion. Davydenko stumbling here (if he does win) won't end his tournament. He'll get fired up and believe.

I'd still obviously back Federer over Davy, but he's beaten Fed and Nadal the last 2 times he's met them. Can't argue with that.

 

[Jono]

Well, Serena ended that one quickly.

Can't believe I have to ask this when it's being played in my own time zone in my own country, but does anyone have a score in the Williams-Stosur match please? They've got Home and Away on ffs!

Seriously getting the ****s with my own country here. No wonder Germaine Greer left.

For the past two days all they have been saying is that is Australia Day one day early. Talking up the fact that two Australians are playing world number ones. First match we get to see what, 2 games? I knew it was going to the news, channel 9 are the same, they will always go to the news. But when I flick it on at 7, to hopefully see at least highlights, what do they have on? ****ing Home and Away. Get ****ed, you ****ing ****s.

You have Prime, Prime HD, Prime2, Plus two other view one and view three iirc, why the **** cant you show the tennis on one of them?

Seriously, its a ****ing joke.

 

[Jono]

Serena won.

Bigger question is why we can't watch Tsonga vs. Almagro.

Almagro just took it to a fifth set!

Yeah! But what's the score?

 

[Bobisback]

Yeah! But what's the score?

6-4 6-2

I checked on Live Scores: Sports Livescore, Live Football Scores & Results

 

[Son Of Coco]

Yeah! But what's the score?

It was 6-4 6-2 mate.

Looking forward to gettin home and seeing Hewitt vs Federer. Would be great if Hewitt could put up a good fight, but I'm not expecting too much. He's been in good form before only to go down rather easily against Roger.

Sounds like I get better coverage on Star Sports in Korea than Channel 7 gives in Australia.

Just emailed Prime;

What are you guys doing?

For the past two days, all you have been doing is talking up the fact thats its Australia Day one day early, with two aussies taking on world number ones. We watch two games of the Stosur-Williams match, you cut to the ****ing news? Surely you could have left the tennis on HD, most of the old whingers wouldnt even know about the HD channel, or how to change it on to that, news would be fine in normal definition. But it gets better, i switch back to Prime, as im sure 100's of thousands of others aussies did, at 7pm, and whats on? HOME AND AWAY? You have got to be ****ing kidding me.

You guys are a ****ing joke, hopefully one day someone wakes up and allows these games to be showed on Austar, because at least we would be able to see all the matches live, and uninterrupted.

Seriously angry, as im sure alot of other viewers are.

Sorry about the swearing, not sorry that I did it, but sorry I couldnt say it to one of your faces.

Almagro has continued to fight all tournament.

I know many dislike him, but after he almost beat Rafa in Paris I've kind of liked him.

 

[Burgey]

6-4 6-2

Cheers mate. I take it that was in favour of the world's number 1 ungracious player?

Edit: cheers one and all.

Yeah, she is looking unbeatable. Hopefully they will show the match after the Hewitt game, just to see how good she is actually playing.

 

[Jono]

Yes Serena destroyed her, 3 breaks overall.

Ta mate, she's just too good when she's at her best.

[Jono]

Almagro with a break point. Tsonga could be on his way

 

[Jono]

In Tsonga's entire career he has never been to a fifth set. Incredible.

 

[Johnners]

Woosie, we all know Serena will choke

Guess I was wrong

sok, Henin will take her down in the final.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Listening to the match on the AO website radio as I'm still at work. They just crossed to Rob at Hi-Sense Arena for the finish of Tsonga's match. **** me dead Rob, I think you've overdosed on helium and Bruce McAveney...either that or this is community radio. Shocking stuff, have a good hard look at yourself Rob.

The guys commentating on Hewitt vs Federer aren't much chop either, but beggars cannot be choosers!

Serena may lose, but I can only think of one time in her career she's 'choked'.

Btw, if Henin wins I win money as I've backed her, Serena and Venus to win. With Safina, Kuznetsova, Sharapova, Jankovic and Wozniacki all out... I'm very happy
