What an absolute farce this was: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23060430-2,00.html

The same heavy handed, officious cops that you get at international cricket games.

Some guys fly a plane into two buildings back in 2001, and authorities think it gives them the right to act like this.

I hope the Vliegen vs Andreev match is shown on Ch 7 today (before or after the cricket preferably) Vliegen is very good IMO. He's my upset of the day.

yeh I'm a big fan of Vliegen, was talking him up last year but kept letting me down, this is potentially an awesome match if both bring their best tennis. Andreev has a killer forehand and if it's working I dont think Vliegen can beat him.

Wow. Amazing effort from Dellacqua. Finished just in time for the start of the cricket too.

Wow. Amazing effort from Dellacqua. Finished just in time for the start of the cricket too.

I know, perfect timing, great win, she played really well.

Didn't think she'd come back after narrowly losing the first set. Awesome effort to reach the final 32.

Nadal isnt wasting any time today, i guess he's in better form and condition than most people think at the moment.

Serena has a nice face - just a monster arse.

Jankovic has a good body, face like a bulldog, though.

I'm a huge Ana Ivanovic fan...Vaidasova's hot too!

 

[Johnners]

AWTA

Amazing result for Dellacqua.

Yeah, pretty hard to go for Molik in her match against Vaidasova.

She'd be my pick of the bunch, but yeah Ivanovic is great too.

Love Jankovic's body too.

Ana for me. Looks great in the picture for her column in The Age.

 

[Simon]

Ivanovic all the way...

 

[Jono]

Tatiana Golovin for me.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Ivanovic playing now...I'm going to watch the QLD 7 though at 8:30 so it doesn't interfere with the cricket (assuming they show it delayed and not live)

 

[Simon]

Hopefully this is the year Safin returns to the top, I know we say it this time every season but you'd imagine he's running out of chances

 

[Mister Wright]

Should be a good match tonight.

 

[cameeel]

C'mon Safin....

 

[Pup_23]

Should be a good match tonight.

You were on the money.

Was a brilliant match. Baghdatis getting up in 5. Match of the Tournament so far and will take some beating.

Lleyton now has Marcos next game (Sat) and at the moment he is not in the same ball park. will need to play out of his skin IMO.

I love watching Safin play. So much power, skill and emotion. (Not to mention his entourage)

Brilliant stuff.

 

[Jono]

Shattered Safin lost

I know he'll never win another grand slam, but I like seeing him last as long as he can. Still, I like Baghdatis so don't mind him winning. If Safin's going to lose to anyone, may as well be him.

Match must have been a beauty. Was at work and couldn't watch it.

extremely doubtful that he will return...

 

[Simon]

extremely doubtful that he will return...

yeh it's a shame, Baghdatis is a good player but one Safin would normally beat if he was at his best, unfortunately at 27 Marat's best years are behind him evidently.

 

[Jono]

Nah got nothing to do with his age IMO. I love the man, but he can't be bothered. He's obviously not slacking, but he's prone to giving it away, simply because he doesn't want it that bad. He's done enough in his career in his own mind I reckon.
