Australian Open 2010

3,4 & 4 win for Tomic on MCA, he'll play the winner of Cilic vs Santoro next which is currently on serve @ 6-5 Cilic in the 1st set.

 

[RoosterLad]

Kicking myself for not getting on Tomic.

 

[CAS79]

Nieminen serving to stay in the 2nd set. Looking at the numbers the only difference is that the Finn has taken his break point opportunities, Lindahl has not. Wonder how much light there is for the matches on SC2 and SC3 to continue tonight?

Nicks in the game but it appears ass much as I can tell is just not stepping up the big moments.

the Finn has been around enough to know this and take a lot of heart from it.

 

[danielnajdek]

Does anyone else hate Justine Henin? 'Cause I can't stand her.

Yep me too. Ever since that final in the Aussie open where she pulled out with "stomach pains" I haven't liked her and to tell the truth was glad she retired.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

5-1 for Nadal

Grosjean down a set

 

[Lazarus]

I LOVE how they now play the men's matches before the women's in the night session.

 

[Danog]

Let's go Santoro!

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Nick has a break against Nieminen in the third set

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Nick has a break against Nieminen in the third set

I'm guessing Blake vs Clement is not going to be played til tomorrow because of the rain delays and Karlovic vs ugly stupid **** face went to 5 sets?

I think it may be tonight still. If you look at the schedule a lot of games are listed as cancelled buth the Blake v. Clement one is not. Find out soon anyway as the womans match on the court is nearly over.

rofl at thinking that was Tomic trying his hardest. You think he'll be hitting the same shots against all opponents do you?

Lol? Tomic>>>>>Djokovic>>>>>Stepanek>>>>>>Ginepri etc. etc.

If he serves up that shit in the 2nd round he will get destroyed. So he wasn't trying? Taking the piss? Has he already got that big of a head already, since he isn't actually that good himself at the moment. Yes, I know he is 17 etc but once your on the mens tour it doesn't matter how old you are. It's not juniors any more, you're playing with the big boys, to say he wasn't trying is bullshit.

I am just making an observation, he will not get any where if he plays like that ever. His form (ie. technique) was all over the place, especially the forehand where he pushes the ball. I'm guessing you didn't watch the match.

Yeah that is true but I just thought that maybe they hadn't updated the site.

On that court the woman match beforehand is listed as cancelled which is why I assumed that the Blake one right after was cancelled too. I hope you are right though mate.


Also crowsarethebest Tomic is miiiiiiiiiiiiiiles better than bloody Stepanek.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

What would the players want - play till 2am or start tommorow

dosent matter as there is more rain

Ebden taking it up to Monfis 2-1

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Let's go Santoro!

down a set and a break now

Well I reckon they - players like Blake and Clement - would be pissed waiting around for 4 or 5 hours and then not getting to play

No, he wasn't playing with the big boys today. He was playing some hack teenager, and he played accordingly. He didn't exhaust himself, he didn't try to blast the guy off the court, he pushed himself as far as he needed to and didn't take many risks.

If you think he'll be playing with similar tactics and style against quality opposition, you're insane.

I am just making an observation, he will not get any where if he plays like that ever. His form (ie. technique) was all over the place, especially the forehand where he pushes the ball. I'm guessing you didn't watch the match.

I'm guessing you haven't watched him before tonight then. He has it in his arsenal to hit the ball far harder and flatter than he did today. He just didn't need to.

Honestly, you think that was Tomic hitting the ball as hard as he could? rofl......

true

play is getting sarted - Ebden and Monfis warming up

and having to come off

Nadal in straight sets

 

[RoosterLad]

Should move the tournament to Memorial Drive I reckon.

 

[Renegade]

Could Jim Courier ask any more stupid questions? No wonder Nadal was backing up trying to get away from the w***er.

 

[mattys123]

I LOVE how they now play the men's matches before the women's in the night session.

I'm just waiting for the first 5 hour marathon at night and then watch the women walk out at 12.00 midnight. They'd probably have to postpone the Womens match to the next day.

And...Tomic likely to meet Cilic in next round, should be Wednesday night match.

 

[OzBomber]

Anyone got any odds for if Dokic will get teary tonight?

 

[mattys123]

I'll give out 1.50, as if she wins she will be strong and un emotional, but I can't see her winning.

 

[Lazarus]

Courier consistently makes an absolute dick of himself.

 

[OzBomber]

Dokic hasn't heard of a thing called a sports bra, before?

 

[danielnajdek]

Not looking good for Dokic at all. Very bad body language needs to fix that up or this might be over pretty quickly.
