yeh we did hey, martin is the master of them!

bottom half of the draw action in the Mens part of he draw tonight. Haas gets Malisse on court 3 this time, perhaps a chance of a centre court match. Ivanisevic vs Hewitt should be a beauty in top half action.
Sharapova vs Hantuchova on centre court, but its last up so wont be on till bout 3am australian time.

That's not fair! 5am NZ time, I can't manage that I don't think.

Ah well, at least they replay the whole day's play on Sky Sport 3 the next afternoon.

 

[Simon]

ill be up for the live telecast, and hey might as well catch the replay tomorrow, regardless of the standard of play!

Phillipousis wins: 6-4 3-6 6-7 5-7

Can't believe I missed it! Bloody girlfriends who don't like sport. How did he play Waughney? Was it incouraging?

 

[Mister Wright]

****! I just looked at the scores. Simon is going to be ****ed - Haas lost in four to Malisse. Just a few hours ago Simon was telling me how he though Haas was going to make it to the Semis and Haas should beat Malisse comfortably.

Poor Simon.

 

[superkingdave]

MMMmm Sharapova Hantuchova!

 

[Simon]

yes poor simon!!!!!

haas just cant serve, way too many double faults and not enough aces, Malisse is a damn good player though, i expect him to go pretty far in this tournament now....

scud looked alright, did enough to win, should make the quarters id imagine

 

[Mister Wright]

Who are you going for, no that Haas is out?

 

[Waughney]

What you'd expect, fair few aces some good passes and volleys. Didn't really get tested on his rallying due to his similar-playing opponent, Verkerk.

 

[Simon]

Rainer Schuettler and Florian Mayer, he took out Coria yesterday and is a good up and coming player, now with a pretty good draw could turn some heads.

also of course my tip Grojean and like to see the 2 aussies lleyton and the poo do well.

 

[Anna]

Federer was awesome against Johansson earlier, he played immaculate tennis & makes it look so easy. I can't really see anyone else beating him this year (sorry Tim!).

 

[Simon]

Schuettler out too, that leaves me with Grojean, Mayer and Alexander Popp whos currently up 2 sets to 0 against Carlsen

 

[_Ed_]

Henman v Arazi was a very exciting match, Arazi played really well and was completely dominating for a while, but the crowd seemed to pull Henman through.

 

[Simon]

arazi had his chance in the 4th set, had he won that game at 2-0 (15-40) i suspect he would have almost gone onto win the match.

 

[Sudeep]

Could Miss Golovin's shorts get any shorter?

In another note, Bhupathi, get back with Paes. We want to see you guys win TOGETHER.

 

[ReallyCrazy]

Could Miss Golovin's shorts get any shorter?

sure, why not? I checked out her pics, she aint bad

bhupathi and paes have problems w/ each other

 

[Anna]

Well, Tim's beaten the Scud in another Henman special. Can the health of the Nation withstand another one? lol. Mario Ancic in the 1/4s.

 

[Simon]

henman is set to be beaten in another semi i think, roddick should make the final, grosjean still in the tournament and looking good, and the young german florian mayer is going well, hes definately one for the future.
