Any news on Bernard Tommich? How did he go through the qualifying stages?

Lost 2nd round, as did all other Aussie men that were remaining. Tomic was apparantly tired from the 3 setter the previous day.

Dokic plays Tanasugarn (the Thai) in 2nd round sheila's quallies.

when does the draw come out?

 

[ashley12]

I think tomorrow.

 

[X_box_X]

LOL. Crazy people.

It comes out on the Friday every year. The draw is up already, and there is a thread on it too.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

I think Federer or Djokovic will win it, but since they are set to meet in the semis, Nadal will probably play either of those 2.

If Safin played in form then he could be a big threat.

Don't forget the Gooch who won through to the final today

In the women's Henin will probably win and if not her I would back S Williams. Though Davenport has been on the comeback trail and is in good form and she could very well go all the way.

Tomic would do well to be as good as Berdych. 22 years of age, been a top 10 player, won an ATP Masters Series event, made the 4th round of every Slam. And yet here you are saying Tomic will only be the next Berdych as though that would make him a failure and not to mention Berdych is still young and will improve.

when does the draw come out?

Why am I bothering?

people make him out to be the next no. 1, grand slam winner etc when in reality he wont progress that far. im saying he is more likely to get to the stag Berdych is at, then become no.1 in the world. at best he will be floating in and out of the top 10 not at number 1.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Yeah, all the way to the final

 

[stmookeyj]

Dokic lost her 2nd rd quallie, so interest in that draw is now pretty much zero unless you head there tomorrow to watch (it's free I believe).

Berdych will get to Top 5 before he finishes. Tomic is very tactically adept and has big cajones. If he improves his strokes alot, he can do what he likes, it's much too early to call.

that will never happen. dosent have the mentality or ground strokes to go that far and will never reach a gf semi as long as federer lives.

OK, first, he has far better groundstrokes than Roddick, Ferrer, Ljubicic, i.e. recent Top 5ers. Secondly, he is 22, so by the time he is 26-28 Fed will be gone.

Just put 500 on my man Safin!

Croatian tennis fans **** off to where you came from.

As if last year wasn't bad enough.

 

[X_box_X]

Loving it. Jankovic looking in trouble, and Robredo dropped the first set too.

Fans evicted because of bad behaviour will be banned from the tennis for 24 hours.

...What a massive deterrent.

Jankovic down a set to the curvy Paszek.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

While CH7 are showing nothing you can watch StarSports on Sopcast (if you don't have Foxtel) where the Jankovic match is on....3-0 down in the last.

 

[X_box_X]

What the hell are they? Online broadcasting channels?

Have you even seen his Backhand After that statement you lost all credability.
