Haas just had another win, very comfortably over Sanguinetti, again it comes down to the mixed for Germany, lets hope they can get up and go 2-0

I'm tipping a pretty comfortable win for the Germans.

they won, it wasnt that easy, the first set could have gone either way, and the Germans did their best to stuff the 2nd set lead...

Broncoman, do you know who's playing tonight? Is it Argentina vs Germany, because if it is, I was thinking of going.

Australia are playing the Netherlands, Spain vs Argentina was the day session, Germany are back in action tomorrow with a night match against Argentina. Haas vs Coria in the singles is worth turning up for imo...

What time does the night session start.

What time does the night session start.

should be on now i think...

OMG what happened to Haas? I missed the second set.

Haas injury sinks Germans

Haas has a groin injury, and may be in doubt for the Australian summer.

 

[Simon]

man that hurt so much, he was cruising, always the ****ing way though, lets hope he can recover for the Aus open...

It looks like Haas, along with Phillipousis will be one of those players that will go through massive form surges and form slumps and fight injury for their entire career.

Like Cash, Stich & Ivanisavic (sp) they will never reach their potential due to injury, which is sad.

 

[Simon]

his injury isnt serious though, well not as bad as the scuds, he has pulled out of the medibank international as a precautionary measure, hes expected to be 100% for the Aus open.
At least he will be seeded around 16-17 which means he wont run into a top seed until the 3rd round at the earliest, so hopefully hes at full fitness by then....

Did anyone in Perth see that gorgeous picture of Mark Philopoussis (not even going to ask if that is spelt wrong, I KNOW it is) on the back page of the paper today?

Yeah, but he does get a lot of injuries.

thats the thing, he doesnt get a lot of injuries, he had one major injury which kept him out for 18 months, he played 8-9 months of tennis with no worries until this injury, just bad luck....

I saw it, but I don't argree with the gorgeous description.

Sesil, the next big thing in tennis, won her Q1 match today in 2 sets.

Shikha Uberoi too who is going to play for India this year has won comfortably in Q1 of Aus Open and Sania Mirza got a wild card to the main draw of the Aus Open

 

[James90]

Now Agassi's in doubt for the open, as is Taylor Dent. Thought that might help Safin but going on his form he'd be lucky to get past the first round.

I rarely watch tennis these days, but I watched a game the other day. I got to say, that Chinese chick (Peng?) has some real talent.
