Federer or don't care, tbh.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Man crush?

 

[Kong]

Little bit. I don't even care much for tennis, but I love watching him play.

He's just the man.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

I agree, he's a freak on the court. Makes things happen that you've never seen or though possible.

The next best thing is seeing people challenge him. Last years US Open between Fed and A-Rod was one of the best matches I've ever seen.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

I will be heading to the Australian Open this year, as I do most years, and only hope that it is not too hot. Davydenko is the man and for the women I will stick with Azarenka.

 

[Colin D'Cops]

I think Verdasco will go close in the mens, whilst Bartoli will go close in the womens (provided they both get fair draws).

Have got uh player cards with all eight players, playing in the Kooyong Classic leading up to the Australian Open. Hoping to get them signed somehow, will go to the Kooyong Classic a few days and the AUS Open a few days. Should go close. I'm hoping. If I do get it done I'll frame it with a plaque and it'll look good as. I will even take a photo and post it on here for all you to drool over. Lets hope it happens!

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Expensive tickets much?

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Don't know if Kooyong will be overly expensive.

Will be getting a ground/day pass at the AUS Open.

Will be pretty expensive, all worth it with great tennis though.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

$40 for Kooyong.

 

[Spikey]

Tennis is ok.....but Mario Tennis is much much better.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Yawn.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Yawn.

[Beerfish]

Meh. She's no Corrine Grant.

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Meh. She's no Corrine Grant.

...

 

[Beerfish]

Still prefer Corrine.

That chick has a weird face.. she looks boyish.

 

[Beerfish]

I know. I was having a Mantis type rant knowing you couldn't back down after faulting to her before

Is this a double fault then?

 

[Skeeta Olly]

I'm lost.

 

[Hirdy_5]

 

[Beerfish]

I'm found.

Who is that?

 

[Colin D'Cops]

Ana Ivanovic. Good looker for sure.

 

[Beerfish]

She should go straight to the Hot Chick room.

 

[Hirdy_5]

I'm found.

Who is that?

Colin is on the money, Ana Ivanovic.

Not to bay ay!... Couldn't resist, had to post some more, .

 

[Beerfish]

She's a groaner too.. exxxxxxcellent.

Is she playing in the Aus Open?
