average quality yet still exciting match

onya bernie woooo!

 

[Xtreme]

Tomic is still an arrogant *******, can't wait to see him go out in straight sets next match.

Bernie seems a-ok....... but dislike the father - he needs to be sent packing from the coach/manager role asap.

 

[Amazing Bombers]

Tennis forum always good for laughs.

Jelena Dokic Mk 2?

Tennis forum always good for laughs.

MTF forums? To be honest, I agree with just about most of them regarding this match.

Still can't help but laugh at the number of times Verdasco pushed his backhands into the net.

In other news, Kimiko Date lost (again). A+ for persistence. No win at the Oz for 16 years.

Yep Verdasco was pretty awful, but it was good to see Tomic win.

Dolgo up 4-1 in 3rd .5 setter coming up?

 

[Lemma]

Nice win Bernie

 

[Sir Vlado]

Dolgo wins the third set. That's more like it.

 

[Flameboy]

Tomic!!!!!

 

[hirdy_is_champ]

C'mon stick with it Jones.

Alicia Molik called her son Yannick, can't decide if that's bogan or not.

Rod Laver Arena (Day 2)

Vera Dushevina vs Petra Kvitova
Novak Djokovic vs Paolo Lorenzi
Samantha Stosur vs Sorana Cirstea

Cedrik-Marcel Stebe vs Lleyton Hewitt
Tamira Paszek vs Serena Williams

I like how the mens games are first on the night session so far... hope it continues.

Lol if they think anyones going to stay after the Hewitt game to watch Serena though.

 

[red+black]

Hope Hewitt goes 5 sets and 4 hours. Hope Serena chucks it at how unfair it is.

 

[krisholio14]

The young Aussie looks to have jacked it in.....

 

[Sir Vlado]

... and the Dog keeps rolling. Good recovery in the end.

Wawrinka vs Baghdatis in the 2nd round

 

[Chris_2593]

Just got home now. Watched Casey Vs Jovanovski first. Really happy Casey got the win you could see how happy she was when she won it. Then watched Berdych Vs Ramos. Berych was shocking but Ramos isnt that bad a player. Then watched a bit of Jones Vs Dolgopolov. Jones came out flying playing good tennis the heat was affecting Dolgopolov. Knew he would come back and win though. That sat on the grass and watched the final set of Tomic Vs Verdasco on the big screen. Man what an atmoshphere never seen it so packed there. Everyone just sitting there watching and screaming at the tv. It was great. Well done Tomic.

On too tomorrow took a chance and brought Hisene tickets without knowing the OOP and it turned out to be a good one:
Kirilenko Vs Gajdosova
Sharapova Vs Dulko
Murray Vs Harrison
Roddick Vs Haase

Really looking foward to Tomorrow.

 

[beez]

Mark Nicoski lookalike on RLA or am I just going mad

 

[absy]

I have no idea who to watch tomorrow. Today was good but I think tomorrow will be even better......... arch!!

 

[Chris_2593]

Isner Def Mitchell 6-4 6-4 7-6(1)
Rogowska Def Arvidson 6-3 6-1.
Tatishvilli Def Barty 6-2 7-6(4)

All in all not a bad day for the Aussies. Hopfully Rodionova can grap a few games off Woz. Pretty happy for Liv finally getting her first AO win.

Then watched a bit of Jones Vs Dolgopolov. Jones came out flying playing good tennis the heat was affecting Dolgopolov. Knew he would come back and win though.

Yeah I stayed to watch the game, turns out Jones had a blister on his toe and could barely walk at the end, certainly struggling. Gave Dolgopolov one hell of a fright though

Gotta love the home crowd support - I was at the end near where the big screen was showing Tomic. Absolutely nuts down there, will do it again tomorrow.

In the meantime though, Raonic on Court 19 tomorrow Value to be had there...

Great day today, looking forward to tomorrow.

Can anyone shed light on this so called rift between Rafa and Roger?

 

[Lemma]

This article pretty much explains it

Can anyone shed light on this so called rift between Rafa and Roger?

Rafa basically believes Rodge isn't doing enough as players accociation president to voice their concerns

I tend to agree and feel Roge is more interested in protecting his image

 

[roostersgal4eva]

Anyone watching Nalbadian and Nienimen - been some outrageous tennis from both & has been high quality from the first point
