Just threw some money on Melzer for no apparent reason besides I can't sleep and want a match to follow with interest..

After a highly successful 2011 edition, I'm proud to announce the return of:

Good bet, reckon he's value vs. Karlovic.

Problem is you never know which Melzer will show up.

 

[Jarquis]

Ah ffs.

 

[Jono]

Haha tbf he's not going to win tiebreaks vs. Karlovic too often.

Still early.

 

[Jarquis]

Set and a break down. Ugh. Time for bed maybe.
Tomic not having a good time of it at the back end of this set.

 

[Jono]

Heard Tomic had 0-40 on Verdasco's service game at 6-5 with 3 set points and couldn't take it... Brutal.

Called the trainer now I hear?

 

[Jarquis]

Did Melzer break back to be broken again or did my Aus Open website glitch? Swear it looked like it went 3-4, 5-4, 5-6?

 

[Jarquis]

Broken first game of the 3rd, do one Melzer.

This is fairly huge

Verdasco really deteriorating mentally here.

Verdasco really deteriorating mentally here.

Nailing shots though.

 

[benchmark00]

Come on ****.

 

[benchmark00]

**** yeah dog.

 

[Burgey]

That'll do, pig.

 

[benchmark00]

How good would it be if this was L00ch.

 

[Dydl]

Pretty good, that.

 

[benchmark00]

My boi Greg Jones.




QUICK POLL:

Do you like Jim Courier?

 

[Ruckus]

Jim Courier annoys me to some degree...think he is completely full of himself, but he does at least provide some interesting insight sometimes. Unlike that John Alexander schmo whose commentary used to consist solely of describing every shot as it is, obvious to all watching.

Btw does anyone go on mens tennis forum? Geez that place looks terrible. Swear to god every post on there is some annoying **** whining about how Olderer, Nadull, Fakervic, Mugray (or some other lame variation of a players name) is a mug or any match between them is a mugfest or tennis was ruined because of that game etc.

Doesn't seem to be any remotely interesting discussion whatsoever, just a bunch of sad sacks fuelling of each others trash-talk.

 

[Burgey]

Sounds like CW tbh.

Agree re Alexander. Terrible commentator. The faux intensity he brought to tennis hasnt carried over to politics either.
