Australian Tennis Season INCLUDING Australian Open

Paes/Stepanek win 7-6 6-2

[dedja]

Extremely dumb and meaningless question ... is it not unusual for identical twins to have a different strong hand as in the Bryan brothers being a lefty and right hander?

Good for us because we can pick who's who.

AZARENKA!!

[stampy]

I was wondering what happened to Nicole Vaidisova, so my friend Google told me she'd retired from tennis at 20 and last year married Radek Stepanek ... WTF???

She's an absolute honey (now 22) and he's 33 and ugly as sin.

well novak and rafa arent exactly oil paintings either dedj and they dont have any trouble dragging in the ladies either,look at cameron ling for instance, if you are bringing in the dollars women dont care how ugly u are

AZARENKA!!

Nadal wins the first set 7-5

[fisho mcspaz]

Jim Courier just said 'He put the ball right in his sweet spot. Right in his honey hole.' Sorry, I just had to share that.

[Jim05]

Djokovic wins the second 6-4
Nadal is serving terrible

[dedja]

Rafa not impressed by Djokovic's celebration after winning the 2nd set ...

C'mon Rafa, bury the Serbian bastard.

The same Rafa that spat at Hewitt, go Novak for me.....

[dedja]

No, the same Rafa who is a humble champion who doesn't big note himself. Even his coach (uncle) claps good shots by his opponent.

For the mad Serb, it's all about him and fakes injuries when he thinks he might lose.

All personal opinions of course ...

Have to raise the gorilla in the room
First set tonight was just shorter than the entire women's game last night.
I know everyone's saying it, but I turned the volume down last night.
Baseline tennis waiting for the first one to make a mistake - I think I saw Azarenka voluntarily come to the net once.
Azarenka might make top 20 in mens tennis (that's a compliment BTW) but Sharapova would be cannon fodder
The women earn as much as the men
Even Mrs Jimmy (who played pennant) says they should be made to play 5 sets to earn the same money.
It's not about strength, it's about fitness
You want equality? Earn it

[dedja]

Exactly right ... Look at the pre-match stuff tonight compared to last night.

Rightly or wrongly, women's tennis is light years away from men's and to get the same prize money is political correctness gone mad.

FFS, Azarenka is in the crowd tonight and no-one hardly noticed.

Agree with most of this but Azarenka wouldnt get a set off the number 200 male in the world.
They should be made to play best of 5 or take a pay cut

Cannot see djock losing this match.
Rafa has been avg since first set
And he wasn't exactly great in first set

Yep reckon he i gone.
Told everyone Djokovic has been faking it, nothing wrong with him

[Jimmy_041]

He seems to like losing the first set & then outlasting them over 5 sets

He'd be fu**ed if he was a sheila - he's lose in 2 sets every match

[dedja]

Can't stand his girlfriend either ...

[Johno6]

Bruce makes the gayest comments every time he is on tv

[Jimmy_041]

Can't stand his girlfriend either ...
