[Hoggy31]

My tip for the final is Hewitt.

 

[Buddhmaster]

Not that it matters for me anymore, but I'm going for Safin

 

[Simon]

im going with hewitt too...

 

[andyc]

yeah, hewitt.

 

[marc71178]

I'll go for Safin, not sure why, but I have an inkling about him...

 

[Dydl]

I don't have enough confidence in either of them to predict who will win it..

If Hewett does, he will be the first Australian to win the Australian Open since 1976

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Safin.

 

[Jono]

Marat Safin.

 

[Pratters]

My pick for the final :-

Marat Safin

 

[Son Of Coco]

I was hoping you'd go for Safin! That means my pick can be:

Lleyton Hewitt.

I didn't want to have to tip against him just to have a chance of getting ahead, but would have if necessary.

 

[marc71178]

Darn it - 1 of the 4 above me copied my pick.

 

[Pratters]

Darn it - 1 of the 4 above me copied my pick.

If you are referring to me, I would like to clarify that I would have chosen Safin any way because I was very confident of him winning.

I went with a different pick than yours in Roddick vs Hewitt as I figured this could be the make or break match for me with you leading by two points.

 

[marc71178]

I was referring to you - but by saying copy didn't mean you copied me, just predicted the same!

I went for Safin half because I liked him and half because the other 3 were on Hewitt - that then meant that you had to go get the winner in order to win!

 

[Dydl]

I don't like Hewitt's attitude towards winning. He is kind of showing that winning is everything and that isn't exactly a good thing for kids to learn. Hewitt's tantrum when he was called for a foot-fault justifies that.

 

[Simon]

well done to pratyush for winning the tipping comp, however i think we need to look at restructuring the points system for the french open, im not very happy that ed and i were so dominant in the early rounds and were blown away because of 1 or 2 matches in latter rounds. instead of doubling the points, i think we should look at just adding 1 point per round... so the final is worth 7...
