I might have to save this for next time the England cricket team is criticised.

But for Aust tennis, it is the crappiest ones that are from o/s.

In other offbeat news from the Open, the match between Belgian Christophe Rochus and American Donald Young was stopped for 40 minutes after a ball boy wet his pants on court 10.

"The ball kid peed on himself. It was unfortunate," Young said.

"It took a while to replace him. Then they had to put the sawdust down, or whatever you put down when somebody throws up.

"Then they had to use the blower (to dry the court) but the blower had no gas in it, so that took even more time."

Young, 20, was up two sets to one and had just broken Rochus to establish a 2-1 lead in the fourth when the incident occurred, but eventually overcame the distraction to win 1-6, 7-5, 6-2, 6-4.

Prolly one of the best at the mo is Ana Ivanovic, who Aus golfer Adam Scott is plugging.

And the 0.5 out of 10 from the East German judge would confirm that.

Meanwhile Aussie Tomic takes the first set against the No 14 seed Cilic.

Foreign-born Aussie Tomic?

Ummm, I think that's the gag just there shoey. You've obvo missed it. Schoolboy Error.

Could be. It's hard to tell though - ever since they genuinely and seriously started referring to "Aussie Joe" Bugner I just don't know any more.

I could only watch the first few games of this match, but Bernard Tomic put up a great fight. Taking the 13th seed to five sets! He looks good for the future and seems to have an even temperament for a 17 year old.

If Ana married Bernard she'd be Ana Tomic.

Tomic has a whinge that his match finishing at 2am is past his bedtime ...FFS

Win some games before you start whinging you young dickhead

by Zat Thu Jan 21, 2010 12:09 pm

First 17 year-old I've ever heard of complaining about being up at 2am.
