Aussie Open 2009

I'd love to see the two Frenchmen Monfils and Tsonga line up against each other. Does anyone know whether this match up is a possibility? I read somewhere they're seeded 12 and 5th respectively but am unsure what that means in terms of the draw...

Tomic is going to be a real good player in a few years. He is currently playing some phenomenal shots against starrace

it would be a semi final matchup CC
but monfrils would have to knock out rafa and tsonga to knockout murray in the quarters

Got a great backhand.

[Sorry Dude]

Im not a huge tennis fan, but i enjoy watching the likes of Ivanovic, Sharapova, Kournikova....... etc.

A bit of a shame Sharapova couldn't make it out this year, not sure if Kournikova is playing too??

correct on you NOT being a tennis fan, Kournikova hasnt played competitive tennis in years. In fact i think she's retired

i dont think she ever played a match when she was playing though!!

Thanks for that Magpie. A big ask indeed. I reckon Tsonga could do the job on Murray, but Monfils will struggle to get over Rafa...

i think on his day monfils could take it up to rafa but he would have to have a really good day imo!! he has got it there though.

tomic becomes the youngest 1st round winner in the history of the aust open winning in 4sets

[FD88]

Nothing less than a brilliant effort.

[Pidge]

Well done to Tomic. Good effort. Starrace is a decent player. It will be a huge confidence boost for him.

Tomic looks better than Hewitt did when when he was a teenager.

[hearts on fire]

Finally good to see some Aussie's making it past the first round(apart from Hewitt).

Hewitt's dad didn't act like a wanker like Tomic's does though...

[MagicKiwi]

Fingers crossed for the aussie on Court 7 right now, he's Mr MK's cousin and has just lost the first set after being up five games to two. The family is all over there except us stuck at work watching the scoreboard on the internet. Come on Col!!! Get it back!!!

[Pidge]

Go the Gooch!

Youngest in the Open Era

[FD88]

Hewitt takes the first set against Gonzalez 7-5 but Gonzo with break point at 1-1 in the second.

[A Mum]

Come on Lleyton

[FD88]

Gonzalez dominates the second set to level things at 5-7, 6-2. Also the Gooch is into the second round, beating Devilder 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.
