I doubt if anyone can really dispute Laver's claim.

The only two real contenders never won or will never win the French Open.

Ironically, Rafa may well end up with a greater record than Fed but I have a feeling his body isn't going to last until much after his mid to late 20s.

She's a chance. Safina isn't that good.

Dokic might pull out all stops and beat Safina. But she will get rolled in the semi. Dokic (for some reason) said that she did not expect to win the 4th round match. Strange comment.

Zat, I thought you hated tennis. Comparing it to watching paint dry. Or is that Skully?

Blake-Tsonga has started - promises more entertainment than the freaking cricket.

by JKLever Mon 26 Jan 2009, 09:25

I see the Scottish tennis player lost. What a loser...

by JGK Mon 26 Jan 2009, 11:40

Tsonga through to face the guy that beat The Scot.

I think tennis is quite festive.

But given the abortionate job that's been done of cricet scheduling this summer, I've had little option but to endure tLEoPZs desire to watch the tennis on the big TV...

The Williams sisters beat the China-reunification team to go through to the semis.

Given Melbourne is expecting 4 consecutive 40+c days, someone could die. That might provide some interest

Anyone got any tennis players in the forum death list game?

It's a pity Lleyton only lasted a day

Roddick having a good match against Novak J

by OP Tipping Tue 27 Jan 2009, 06:28

If Miyabi Inoue/Aki Yamasoto beat Beatrice Gumulya/ Noppawan Lertcheewakarn, my arse is grass.

by OP Tipping Tue 27 Jan 2009, 06:41

The current champion has retired during his match versus Roddick!

by Zat Tue 27 Jan 2009, 06:43

If he retired dead, then I'll start being even more afraid of RD.

by Henry Tue 27 Jan 2009, 06:47

Djokovic is a talented player, but he's also a mentally weak sook who'll pull out all the dirty tricks in the book (calling for 'injury' time outs at crucial moments etc) when things aren't going his way.

Glad to see him go.

by PlanetPakistan Tue 27 Jan 2009, 06:53

Roddick and ND simply don't like each other.

by PlanetPakistan Tue 27 Jan 2009, 06:54

Retired....now!

Global warming have a big affect on AUS open.

Dokic down an early break to Safina.

She's doomed!

Interesting bit by Paul Malone in the Qld small newspaper for stupid people today. Essentially saying that he's not buying the fairytale. That's she's a sook & a user.

by Paul Keating Tue 27 Jan 2009, 09:51

Dokic serving for the 2nd set now.

by Paul Keating Tue 27 Jan 2009, 09:53

But farks it up. If she somehow wins this match, she will get pumped in the semi.

by Paul Keating Tue 27 Jan 2009, 10:02

Safina gifts a break and the 2nd set to Dokic with three double faults in a game.
