I'm watching Anna Meares being interviewed by Bruce, she would have to be close the best female track cyclist in history. If she wins gold in Rio I don't think there will be any doubt.
North Melbourne V Geelong - 1994 PF. To lose that game to an Ablett goal after the siren was shattering, I sat in the stands stunned for about 30 minutes. Martyn dominated Ablett, but in time that will be forgotten as will the 33-13 free kick count that went in Gellongs favour.
North...
The introduction of the 24 second clock and the widening of the key were both brought into to quell the dominance of George Mikan. I can't think of any rule change they brought in for Chamberlain.
My 5 are:
Don Bradman
Ali
Pele
Jack Nicklaus
George Mikan
1. Canterbury Bulldogs
2. Illawarra (St. George) Dragons
3. Collingwood Magpies
4. Manchester United
5. Chicago Bulls
6. Barcelona
7. AC Milan
8. West Coast
9. Arsenal
10. San Antonio Spurs
Williams is not the player she once was, seems a little disinterested in Tennis these days. Although, being her home Grand Slam she will probably lift, but I still think Ivanovic will be playing Hantuchova in the third, and should have too much power for her. Then she has Mauresmo, who she has...
I'm hoping, as I do at every Grand Slam, that David Nalbandian and Ana Ivanovic win the titles. I think it may still be a little bit early for Ivanovic (happy to see her whip Stosur butt though), but I think Nalbandian can do it, but getting past Nadal will be difficult. Hingis is my tip for...
She's better looking than her brother.
In fact I was very impressed with her at the Hopman Cup, last year as well. Not many women can ace the guys, but to do it 3 or 4 times, and at only 16. She has potential.
She jumped from 800 to 97 the season before. The largest climb in a single season the history of tennis... mens or womens... since the introduction of the ranking system. The lady is a talent.
Ana has made it through to the second round defeating Shenay Perry 6-4, 6-4. Not Ana's best match as she had 30 unforced error's but when needed came through with the goods. Interestingly, Perry had a faster recorded serve, 189km/h to 178km/h.
Likely second round opponent is Samantha Stosur.
I have no problem with her serving double faults, everybody does it, but her technique can lead to a run of double faults, similiar to Dementieva's in the 2004 French Open Final, and at the end of a match when she is tired and the pressure is greater, her serve can lose her the match, and I'd...
It was actually three times, I watched the game myself when I got home. It's no big deal, but if she wants to be a top 10 player it's something she needs to look at, and technically her serve is a weakness, and it has the potential to end her career early if it's not rectified. And it all has...
Can't have been too good as her serve was broken at least twice. Still think her serve is one of her weaknesses. She could get another 15-20km top speed if she fixes it up, which is scary as she had the fastest recorded serve at both the Wimbledon and the US. As pointed out at the Hopman Cup...
Any sport in 45 degree heat, 10% humidity and 60kmh head wind.
Those guys doing the Murray River canoe race last week must have been close to death at the end, especially with condition like above on the final day.
I saw a couple of her matches in Canberra last year and I thought she was an amazing young talent, but the improvement in her game since has been quite astounding. I have no doubt she is the next superstar of the women's game, but her weakness is still her mobility. The problem for her...
Nice choice. She is my favourite player on the tour. Saw a few of matches when she won her first tournament in Canberra at the start of the year and she impressed me greatly. Incredible run this year, jumped from over 100 to 16, yet was only able to play 16 tournaments because of her age at...
Been a longtime Braves fan. Have just won their 14th straight Divisional title which is an amazing effort, but only one World Series title is little return for such a long stretch of "relative success". Hope they get past the first round this season, but after game 1, I'm not holding much hope.
Don't have to jump on the bandwagon, I've been Thrashers fan since they started. Go for all the Atlanta teams except the Hawks. Just can't give up on those Lakers.
Hole in one with my very first shot.
Playing at a golf course in Wollongong with my father and on the first tee he was explaining to the people behind that this could take a while, as I'd never played golf before. Made me so angry I hit the ball as hard as I could and the ball landed just...
Clijsters drops about 700 points after this week, so Alicia will definately finish the season at least at #12. She is seeded 8th at Philly and has a pretty good draw, so hopefully she can make the quarters, maybe even the semi's and finish 10th or 11th.
