The Australian Open Thread

[WBFC]

i cant beleive phillipoussis lost - he always does it - beats a good player then loses to an unkown. if he was consistent he'd be one decent tennis player

 

[IceBlu]

heh.... Hewitt and Scud out on the same day


and WBFC, Arazi ain't no "unknown"....

 

[Rob]

Arazi and unknown? pfft, This is a man who has beaten Sampras multiple times, and on grass. His no unknown, his a class player.

 

[Essendon BFC]

Arazi played very well.

Agassi against Grosjean tomorrow. Im expecting Agassi to win it.

This open has been great.

safin V roddick
power battle!!!
safin might be a bit rusty and roddick is just on fire, but should be a good match

 

[fender]

Federer did really well.

 

[italianstyle87]

no embarassment for hewitt loosing to federer the way he was playing

 

[WBFC]

mauresmo pulls out with back injury leaving her opponent with a free run into the semis.

 

[IceBlu]

Grosjean just retired after pulling a muscle in the 2nd set vs Agassi.

Agassi won the first set 6-2 and was leading 2-0 in the 2nd set when Grosjean retired.

This puts Agassi in such a good position ! he will be totally fresh when he meets Roddick / Safin.

Its unfortunate because the player she was playing wasnt going to win and now and unknown is through to the Semi Finals.

Agassi was playing very well and i think its pretty fair to say he was going to win. I find it pretty funny that Hewitt blamed the Australia Day Fireworks on losing yesterday.

 

[IceBlu]

Hewitt is stupid. its australian day.... if anything it should have been Federer who should have been distracted by fireworks not Hewitt.


Im so glad that hes out.

 

[$teauA]

yeah me too i hate Hewitt, glad Andre is through i hope he wins it all.

 

[Rob]

Safin

Marat is back! I hope he can win, his one of my favourite players. So explosive and unpredictable.

 

[Essendon BFC]

Yup go Safin.

Hopefully its a good match tonight.

 

[Essendon BFC]

Roddick wins the 1st set 6-2.

Safin is looking better in the 2nd set though.

 

[Rob]

Cmon Safin! I love this walk.

 

[IceBlu]

i hope this is a marathon 5 setter. So whoever meets Agassi will be a little less than 100%

 

[Rob]

Cmon Safin! 1 set all!

[Rob]
