Who will win?

[Guest]

Fedmeister general.

[JKLever]

Tiger Woods

[Henry]

Barack Obama.

[Lara Lara Laughs]

Fedex breezes through.

[JGK]

Murray will do it this year I think.

[Zat]

Put a pineapple on him, J.

[Bradman]

The odds would be prohibitive for a poineapple wouldn't they?

[Zat]

Depends if JGK wants MUrray to win or not. The JGK pineapple has amazing stoppage powers.

Mind you, given what's happened with the past few bets I've placed, maybe I ould go into the stopping business myself...

[Bradman]

I lost a pineapple farm on the Rugby over the weekend. Any other player might be an option however, just got that feeling.

[DJ_Smerk]

Tiger Woods

Beat me to it.

[skully]

Young Aussie lass almost knocked off Safina.

Olivia Rogowska...

[DJ_Smerk]

Does she grunt?

[Bradman]

Pretty amazing story.

[skully]

Does she grunt?

In your dreams, Smerky.

[Bradman]

She'd do a bit better with her eyes open.

Incidentally did you all hear about Richard Gasquet?

He was banned for taking cocaine but was then cleared after they accepted his excuse "that he kissed a woman, identified in the ruling only as "Pamela", and suggested that was how the cocaine entered his system. "

Can't believe he got away with it .

[Henry]

Farwell Marat Safin. This was his last grand slam tournament and he bowed out to Jurgen Melzer in the first round. It was always entertaining watching him play. Quite a character, and a real talent who could have achieved a lot more if it wasn't for his shaky temperement.

[JGK]

Hewitt easily beats Chela - next stop is another thrashing at the hands of Fed in the 3rd round.

[Bradman]

Oh ye of little faith.

Tennis, it's right up there with cycling when it comes to excuses.

The only two Dads in the top 40 and both considered 'old' at 28. Yikes!

It must've been a very bittersweet win for Hewie in 2001.

[Paul Keating]

Anyone more undeserving of the # 1 ranking in the history of women's tennis than Jankovic?

And is Ivanovic a one slam wonder?

[JGK]

Safina?

[Henry]

Ivanovic, Sharapova, and Safina are complete imposters. Biggest bunch of chokers imaginable and in all honesty probably no better or worse than 20 other players on the women's tour. They're just ranked higher because they win the shitty small tournaments that no one cares about. 2 of them are hot, though. Shame they have the combined mental strength of a field mouse.
