Cilic the Dellacqua of the mens tournament IMO.

So he should lose this round.

 

[Simon]

Cilic is a bit better that that comparitively. He had some pretty decent results last year...

Went to the tennis on saturday (complete washout) and yesterday when i actually got to see some tennis. Saw Hantuchova win comfortably, a bit of the Nieminen-Kohlschreibe match and plenty of doubles

some photos

 

[Matteh]

Why don't you take photos like this Hingston?

 

[Captain Cricket]

Agree with above post.

 

[Johnners]

Heh, do you even know who Hingston is?

Djokovic is sooo good, once Hewitt couldn't hold his serve in that first set, you knew he was going to struggle.

 

[Captain Cricket]

Yeah Djokovic is killing Hewitt atm. Hewitt was up 4-1 in the first set and still somehow lost 7-5. Losing his serve three times in the second hurt his chances of winning badly.

Goneskis

Captain Cricket to respond.

No idea who it is, but what does it matter? I only agreed with the fact that he should take pics like those of female players in mid-air.

 

[Mister Wright]

All credit to Hewitt. He is remodelling his game and you can already see the progress he is making under Roche. Djokovic didn't do it easy. He looked like he was finding it hard to come up with answers early in the first and 2nd, but I can see why he's number 3 in the world now - handles pressure well.

Should be a good year for Hewitt. Loved the way he broke back at 5-2 down with two match points in the third. Don't know why he's hated so much by Aussies, he's so gutsy. Never gives up.

 

[Jono]

Because he's a gutsy player, and very good... unfortunately he's such a jackass.

Bring back Rafter

Btw, love Nole Good to see him put away Hewitt in three sets. Best thing about him is he's not only good, but entertaining in his playing style, entertaining off the court, and obviously a genuinely cool guy.

Hopefully Novak for the win

 

[Pratters]

I like Hewitt a lot. Really like his spirit. Don't like that so many Australians hate him so much.

 

[Simon]

because he whinges and complains and its always someone else's fault. Sure he's gutsy but it's never his fault when he loses. There's always a thousand reasons he lost and not just because he's not good enough.

Sounds like a certain Australian cricket captain.

 

[Matteh]

Sounds like Michael Schumacher.

 

[Simon]

Usually when Punter or Schumi lost they were entitled to lose, Hewitt is just poor...

 

[Johnners]

People hate Hewitt because he's a wanker. I thought everyone knew that?

 

[Burgey]

Anyone see the Bagdadis match? Bec Hewitt was more concerned looking at herself on the monitor than she was giving a toss about how her husband was going on-court.

That match-up has 18 more months in it at most, imo.

 

[Simon]

Serena out

On previous form in this tournament dont know how Jankovic won...
