Jono will be devastated.

German maybe?

Weird how Lleyton was such a **** (has calmed a bit these days) but is such a good commentator.

 

[Spikey]

in 5 years time, when Lleyton keeps on loudly repeating everything he says, you'll regret that post

I also liked Michael Slater's commentating when he started ftr.

Ana won that match not Serena losing it imo. It made it a great match when somebody comes out aggressively and everything seems to click

 

[vic_orthdox]

Find it quite surprising that Ana Ivanovic had only played Serena four times on tour before today.

Looking forward to the Lindsay Davenport vs Martina Hingis battle.

Winner plays Jennifer Capriati in the semis.

Was in Melbourne this weekend and went and saw Stan tonight. He is so awesome to watch live.

 

[Jassy]

So Federer has to get through Tsonga, Murray, Nadal and Djokovic - in that order - if he has to lift the cup? Jesus, I don't envy him. Tsonga and Murray he should beat but Nadal...hmmm...if the courts have really quickened up a lot (can't see too much of a difference personally) maybe he's a chance.

Sloane Stephens gutted to see compatriot Serena Williams knocked out of the Australian Open.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez this is vintage

 

[benchmark00]

From Bruce? Yeah the rhetorical questions are flowing thick and fast.

 

[Burgey]

Special

 

[Spikey]

That service game was like a David Hussy over, except good

i'm saying it was super quick

 

[benchmark00]

Really wanted Tsonga to knock Federer off tonight. Love the way he plays. He's like a less awesome version of Peter Luczac.

 

[Jono]

How hilarious was Tsonga when he had that primal yell and then when he held, ran to his chair and threw his racquet. So much adrenaline.

Fed owned him though. That was incredible.

Will go in favourite vs. a Murray without much preparation.

Ferrer seems long odds at $2.40 odd against Berdych. Worth a bet do you think?

 

[Jono]

Indeed. Has a good record against Berdych and is a fighter. Lost to him in their last outing but beat him in the one just before.

The only point to raise is Berdych is playing really good tennis whereas Ferrer has looked scrappy and rusty. So I wouldn't go too big a stake, but I'd definitely have a nibble.
