Tennis Update on Jelena

[GoEagles]

For those who are interested, you can keep up to progress with Jelena Dokic's match against Davenport at http://www.ausopen.org/scores/

Chan 7 is televising the game delayed in Perth at 8.30pm - not sure if it's going live to Melbourne?

Oh and the score:

Davenport leads 2-1 in the first set.

Uh, thanks......

It's being televised at 8.30pm in Melbourne, too.

Was she booed when she went out?

[Dan26]

They should be booing her father, not her. She's only 17, and follows her fathers lead.

Meg, I don't mind the tennis. I just get amused sometims about the topics that are brought up, which people post under. There is something on just about everything.

I absolutely agree with you Dan. I wasn't implying that the crowd should boo her, because that is just poor sportsmanship. I think what she has done is wrong, but booing is just childish.

Her father is the complete moron in this case, and I feel sorry for Jelena, because she is only 17, and because of his idiotic antics, he has caused her all this trouble.

Dan - you have to admit this topic is a bit better than those corny joke threads being posted.

Anyone see Todd Woodbridges game earlier on today? A 5 setter - so close but no cigar.

Davenport still leads 3-2, the IBM scorebox also brings up game stats, like unforced errors and double faults.

Hey, for a Carlton fan, you're allright !

 

[GoEagles]

Does anyone know how tall Davenport is? She's a giant and she's got thunder thighs

Score Update:

Jenela Dokic has hit the front!
She held her serve and now Davenport is behind

4-3 in the first set

 

[GoEagles]

Dokic takes the first set 6-4!

I guess Davenport is just as nervous, or Jelena has gone out all guns blazing in the opening set!

 

[GoEagles]

2nd sets been and gone:

Davenport won it 6-4

So it's come down to the third and final set!

 

[swanzforever]

Poor Jelena, i feel sorry for her.
Everyone is against her and booing her, she probly felt forced to leave Australia by her father.
He's a bloody moran, he gets more attention than Jelena cause he's such a bastard.

She must be a child of a "mixed marriage", I think.

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Yeah!!!
Ding Dong the Witch is dead!

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

Will Tennis Australia Bill the Dokic family for around 1 millions dollars worth of training, resources, accomodation, travel, clinics, equipment, immigration services, media and publicity ?

 

[GoEagles]

Last night Damir said he would be happy to pay Tennis Australia $1,000,000 as long as the Australian press pays the Dokic family $5,000,000 in 'damages'

 

[Pessimistic]

Does it really matter where they come from ? Or where they call home at present ?

In their minds they play for Nike Adidas or Puma etc etc
