Shot!

Lot of mouth breathers from the British Isles.

Nah Novak is a legend. You shouldn't hold how he reacted when he won his first Aus Open final against him. Was one bad moment vs 100000000 class moments.

Maybe I don't think much of him, ****. My prerogative not to like the Box Head.

Nah **** I dictate who you do and do not like.

His shorts are so tight.

So poorly dressed, along with his oil spill coloured shirt.

Match looks set to be a good one already. Some amazing points so far and we only just getting going.

 

[Burgey]

Fffrrrraaaaaaaaaazzzzzeeeeeeee

Disappointing that Lleyton isn't in commentary tonight to remind us that nothing much can go wrong with Novak's backhand.

No doubt the Australian Open is the best of the Slams. Most local fan involvement, best atmosphere, best climate and facilities. And no annoying Poms, Yanks or Africa around either.

What would be the easiest sport to become a central umpire at the top level? Surely tennis is up there.

 

[uvelocity]

don't know about that, a stern 'quiet please' at the correct time requires nerves of steel, a clear throat and timing. reckon they could use them in a swisse ad

 

[benchmark00]

Or a precursor to a Packed to the Rafters ad.

Table tennis or Bowls would be in the mix.

Is it ****, don't see any other nation stopping the final for a piddling fireworks display like yesterday do you. Pathetic.

That's because your clapped out event isn't capable of hosting anything at night, and what's more you've got **** all to celebrate.

Having been to all of them, I'm qualified to comment.

Novak needs to serve volley more
- Todd Woodbridge

 

[benchmark00]

It's a known fact the Aus Open is the best grand slam. Most money. Best facilities. Non contest.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Djokovic mugged in that set. Murray was scrambling on his serve nearly every game and hardly had a sniff of a break on Djokovic serve yet romps the tie break.

Get in.

 

[Burgey]

If it wasn't in Melbourne and if they allowed beer wenches it would be the perfect event.
