2008 Australian Tennis Open

War criminal's offspring? What did his parents do, and why bring them into it?

The war-criminal/ex mafia thing is a joke, guys, and I'm sure they will discontinue with it as it appears to offend people.

Whilst on Djokovic, I found him to be a bit of a sore-winner.

I do grant that he was a deserved winner and is a very good tennis player in the making.

Though he does seem to be too emotional just like Hewitt is and plays off the crowd's dislike. That is a bad thing and he will fatigued himself out just as Hewitt did and does.

His parents had a pizza and pancake joint. Whether that makes them criminals depends on the quality of the pizzas.

If they were anywhere near as bad as the last one I had, throw away the key!

Djokovic is my main hope for the dream I have of some hyped-up hot-head really arcing up at one of Jim Courier's stupid questions and drop-kicking him back into the Yarra. He does strut a bit much, but hopefully he'll grow out of it like Agassi and Connors were able to.

But I wouldn't be surprised if by the time they're in their mid-late 20s Tsonga is seen as the better player.

Courier does ask stupid questions, but as a commentator is clearly the most astute around bar probably John Barrett and JOhn McEnroe.

I's still say the Joker will be better than Ali.

Tsonga could become similar to a player like Gonzalez.

Tsonga will get better as he gains experience. Injuries have managed to give him very little serious ATP tour exposure till this point.

I hear tell he is a good commentator, though not as good as McEnroe (a bit of a recurrent theme in his life). But he should definitely stay in the commentary box. I listen to the ABC commentary so all I hear of Jim is the courtside bullshit when they get the feed.

I know this is going to get a 'would you rather Brucie gush all over them?' That'd be like asking whether I'd prefer my right nostril or my left having a red-hot crowbar rammed up it.

Forgiveable, then.

Jim Courier is definitely a very good commentator. He does ask some dumb questions, but he knows what he's talking about when he's in the box.

On the other hand, can Channel 7 please rip up its contract with Roger Rasheed? He can be good at times but can't help over-analysing everything. We get it Roger, you're a coach. But please remember that you're being paid to commentate not spout technical jargon. There is a contest going on around you.

Cheers.
