Australian Open

[Quiksilver]

Anyone else here following this?

My two guys are Lleyton Hewitt and Rafa Nadal.

I don't watch womens tennis, its boring and I find it unprofessional. Sharapova's not hard to look at though

 

[Mad Manic]

Rafa has one arm much bigger than the other and his bicep looks out of proportion. I think he's been using synthol.

i totally agree about the women's game. its poor quality tennis and boring as hell

i occasionally flip it on to catch ivanovic or sharapova but even that gets boring pretty quick

 

[Quiksilver]

Mad Manic, that's what tennis does to your arms. I played tennis pretty competitively up until last year, and my friends always comment on how my right bicep looks huge and my left only above average

It's not synthol, it's just a blood pump from using it. That and he's a world class athlete from an extremely athletic family with pretty good muscular genetics. His brother plays for the spanish national soccer club I believe. The tan might make it look bigger too...

I'm Aussie and I'm following it. Go Lleyton! See Federer almost get beat by Tipovick? What a match. Good matches are exciting if you get into them.

 

[lordson]

man 95% of the women are so dmaned ugly

lie beofre Ivanovic is very pretty.

but i can't see that much under the cap

Forget federers match (although it was rather good) , how about lleytons match against baghdatis?

I think he just got out classed by djokovich tonight though

 

[swifTy]

i got bets on sharapova and federer.

 

[sam3083]

I had money on rod****, for good odds to make the semi's.... *sigh


I do like the cut of djokovich's jib though. His sharapova impression is hilarious

 

[Quiksilver]

Hewitt beat himself yesterday... He was serving what, like 45% for the match? You can't expect to beat a top 10 player with a garbage serve %.

He'll make a come back this year though, just you watch!

djokovich is a pretty smart player, he'll never be #1 though because of his gameplan. He basically rallies with his opponents until he finds a weakness and then makes the guy beat himself. He's very smart but he should be more aggressive, especially with his speed and good hands. It's funny because he always wins the big points when it matters, then he'll go on autopilot and let his opponent implode... Smart player, hopefully he'll develop his game a little more.

I still got money on nadal.

what do you reckon of this Tsonga character? Does he have what it take to beat rafa and make the final?

nadal is the self-confessed tennis player with no game plan. says he never has a game plan for a match, just goes out there and beats the guy

Picking favorites seems like such a lame thing to do, but go ahead and give the trophies to Federer and Henin.

 

[SinJester]

Lol nadal I'm going for him now Lleytons out.

Picking favourites makes it more interesting and fun.

Did Henin beat Sharapova?

 

[azanon]

Did Henin beat Sharapova?

Well Hells Bells, Sharapova handed Henin her a$$

 

[Gaucho]

Tsonga looks like a handful for Nadal!

 

[SinJester]

Nadal got his ass kicked!

WTF is up with this Tennis craze?!? You all know that this is just a "Fad" or "Flavor of the month" kind of thing...just like how soccer was...even the people that never watched it before, all of a sudden their acting like they live for it...idiots.

 

[SinJester]

Tennis craze? It's the Australian open, I'm Australian, its televised, so I'm watching it and following it and enjoying it. Guess that makes me an idiot?

I do the same thing when the soccer world cup is on? What's wrong with that? Or taking an interest in events I never normally would when the olympics is on.

 

[sam3083]

Yes, I am more interested in tennis right now then i usually am. However, I'm a sports fanatic all the time!
