Nalbandian vs. Haas next round will be huge.

On current form Haas to win, if all goes to plan there hopefully davydenko and berdych have a five hour dogfight and the winner is too stuffed come quarter finals time...

Djokovic paying 10's against feds tonight, get on it. theres no way its that cut and dried...

Ah well, Jankovic gets well and truly belted by Serena Williams. She's playing brilliant tennis.

Williams should make the final now, but the girl she has in the next round is very very good. Serena should get through but anything can happen.

Im liking australianopen.com's assesment of Haas atm.

Haas, who advanced to the fourth round with a regulation straight-sets victory over compatriot Florian Mayer, has not dropped a set thus far at this tournament and is shaping as a dark horse to end Federer and Nadal's run of seven straight Grand Slam titles between them.

Waking up at 6:30 on a Sunday (Y)

Federer will win 6-4 6-2 6-0 IMO.

Cricket at 8, ****.

Best thing about this Federer/Djokovic match is Federer doesn't like him. Will be interesting if he gets under his nerves again.

C'arn Fedsy.

Got money on 3 sets from Federer, let's see if he can do it.

Lol that's true, even stuff like Blake being 0-3 down in the first set and jumping on at him winning in straight sets (which is generally just a bet for the hell of it) fell my way this tournament.

Speaking of bets, I got on Gasquet after he lost the second set to Robredo. He won the third so maybe he's a chance of getting up.

why would you bet on him when he was down 2 sets to love?
Robredo is a scrapper i dont think he'll let this one go...

Figured it was worth a punt seeing it was paying $9, you never know.

Disappointed to see Gasquet out though, enjoy watching him play.

ah fair enough...

Djokovic may as well go home now, hes really not having a dig which is pretty disapointing...

 

[Jono]

Has Djokovic had an easy service game yet? As in winning one to 15 or love? Don't think he has tbh.

now we have a match, he needs to settle a bit though...

 

[Jono]

Roger to win has gone up from 1.00 to 1.01 to 1.02.

MASSIVE!

 

[Simon]

could be about to go back to 1.00

Djokovic deserved to at least take that set to a tie break
