Hewitt the Siddle of tennis. Limited but competes at the top level because of his big heart.

Serves all day.

 

[Burgey]

Has won Univeristy of the year the most times itbt #betterthanyou

What sort of award is Uni of the year? Did you get best actor in a pretend law student role?

 

[benchmark00]

You're so old you did a legal apprenticeship.

 

[Burgey]

Nah, Articles went out about 10 years before my time.

Good system though. Would mean there are less spots for ****s like you and Jono.

 

[Johnners]

Words cannot describe how much I wan Janko to win. Will neck myself if we have to put up with 6/7 straight nights of either Hewitt/Tomic this year.

 

[Jono]

Horrible start in this second set by Janko. Honestly you would have sworn Hewitt won the first and Janko has come out rattled and frustrated at losing the first set despite playing better. But instead, he won the tie break (dominated it really) and has nevertheless come out playing like a tool in the second.

Hewitt should win this second from here now with the double break, which means we could be in for a long night. Should be some interesting viewing.

**** me, first match I'm seeing at the tournament and I swear the courts look slower than last year.

Nole is going to be extremely hard to beat if the courts are this slow come next week.

Commentators noting the players are saying it's faster than previous years. Dickhead.

lol Jono pretending he knows something about something.

 

[NUFAN]

Is there a bit of a bolter who anyone is hoping/expecting might make a semi final appearance or go deep in the tournament? Someone outside the top say 16?

Jerzy Janowicz a chance? Anyone else?

Nah Courier was mentioning that the players were referring to the balls not the courts.

Todd Woodbridge clearly said the court conditions are not helping Hewitt as the ball isn't coming on off the court. He said the outside courts are playing faster than the inside court, i.e. Rod Laver and Hisense Arena, as they are prepared weeks before the inside courts.

So in summary:

Don't be a rude dick.

What would Todd Woodbridge know? The **** extols all the players to serve-volley.

 

[Jono]

Lol @ Hewitt losing that set after a double break.

Someone should "extol" you to jump off a bridge

 

[Jono]

Millman loses to Ito after absolutely dominating sets 3 and 4

 

[benchmark00]

Nothing coming up Millman.

 

[Burgey]

Hewitt gone tonight.

Tomic gone tomorrow.

Indian cricket gone about 18 months ago.

SL cricket dying in the arse without a dodgy doosra. Gone.

Gone. Gone. Gone.

Life is good.

 

[Jono]

Genuinely shocked you didn't say "Rafa gone"
