Our Jordan

If Jerzy loses this the same day nufers picks him to make the semis I will quietly pump my fist in glee.

Jordy looks like going the way of all promising young Australian players - bundled out in round one.

Last time Nufers bigged up Jerzy he went 2 sets down as well and then came back to win.

Deja vu

Deja Nu

Burgey boy having a good day in this thread so far. Hate to admit it, but he is.

Kumkhum shot to an early lead and was never really troubled, frequently penetrating the serve of the sixth seed Kvitova. A few contentious line calls will leave the Czech player feeling shafted but Kumkhum managed to pull it off and will surely see a rise in her world ranking.

Djokovic's kit is one of the few tennis outfits which emphasises how sinewy these players are. When they wear loose fitting clothes you don't appreciate just how lean they are as athletes, even though you know they have to be.

The other bloke's missus looks like a circus gymnast, she's that heavily made up

Come, come mate. You might be getting ahead of yourself talking like that

Bad luck Tommy.

Semis bound now surely.

Semis bound now surely.

Wouldn't surprise me but he's still got Berdych, Youzhny and Ferrer to get past. Also could possibly mug about in the Andujar match.

 

[Jono]

I was just taking the piss out of Nufers. I like Jerzy but he won't make the semis imo. Too volatile to beat Ferrer over 5.

Obviously not impossible though.

Well tbf Ferrer's lost to all sorts of mugs lately, but he probably is still experienced enough to go OK at 5 set tennis.

Ashley Bartey owes it to herself and her legion of 15 fans to present herself in a manner which maximizes her chances of winning matches.

And I'm quietly tipping lugging around a spare Pirrelli isn't part of it
