Australian Open 2008

What do people think?

Federer almost lost last night but I think hell go to the finals.

Im hoping for a Nadal-Federer final where Federer beats Nadal...

I really think Federer might take all four either this year or the next.

open...?

open what?

I think Federer will win the Aussie Open.

I've got a bad case of cold for the last few days. It intensified when I watched the Hewitt - Baghdatis game yesterday.

There was a spate of decent tennis last night, not to mention the women playing were fantastic. There was Hantuchova, Ivanovic, Radwanska, Domachowska, Wozniaki and Kirilenko. There's just something about a girl in a tennis skirt who can pound the ball like they do.

On the mens side I'm hoping to see Djokovic take it all. I've been a big fan of his for the last few years and seeing him steadily close the gap against Federrer is exciting. I'd much rather see Federrer/Djokovic play than Federrer/Nadal (ratface as I call him). I guess I'll have to settle for Djokovic beating Youzhny in the final this year.

No way Djokovic gets past Federer....

Not even that; he might get "injured" along the way.

I predict Federer over Nadal in the final... Federer's going to dismantle Blake in his next match...

I totally agree with you on this. I watched Ivanovic vs. Wozniaki in HD courtesy of ESPN2 and their cameramen with appreciation for closeups of skirts. I love technology. Oh, I forgot to mention, Mary Carillo really really sucks. I'd put my TV on mute if I didn't have to miss all the grunting as well.

Watched Sharapova just beat the hell out of Henin last night. She is a completely different player than she was six months ago. Henin looked helpless in the second set.

anyone else think Mary Joe Fernandez is a clone of Mary Carillo?

 

[poppies]

Anyone watch Tsonga's thrashing of Nadal just now? I haven't enjoyed watching a whipping this much since Federer fed Hewitt two bagels at the US Open.

 

[ghulkhan]

Ivanovic looks so hot on the court. I saw her in Australia when I was there in Sydney at the Medibank...

Djokovic has no chance.

As for the Nadal lovers who think hes better than Federer. He got raped in unheard of ways today...

It's funny to hear people say Djokovic has no chance when he's one of the 5 best players in the world, and this is men's tennis where anything can happen. There's a fairly decent chance that federer will win, which is quite unheard of to begin with. I wouldn't count out someone like Djokovic, he's just too good.
