Read an article in a paper which was interesting. only Hardcopy though. interesting bits here :

" millions of pounds are invested in British tennis every year...no woman ranked in top 100...

Jelena Jankovic, Ana Ivanovic, Novak Djokovic are top 10 players from Serbia.
Not a single cent is invested in these players. We are very hungry, we want to do well, we work hard."

Big night of tennis tonight....

Hewitt takes on Canas and in the battle of the thirty somethings Arthurs takes on Bjorkman...... Hewitt should have a win... and hopefully Authurs can pull out something special..... Good Luck to both Aussies!!!

Lawrie Lawrence ? someone used to say "hungry dogs fight best"

How many players have come out of retirement and successfully regained a top ranking in their sport?

Alicia molik, martina hingis and Guillermo canas (15 month drug ban though)

 

[2020hindsight]

with any luck the wallabies have just come out of retirement too -
go you good things
"just beaten the best team in the world (All Blacks )"
all teams (SA, NZ, AUS have now one win each)

Hot game at the moment....Sharipova v V. Williams.

 

[Broadside]

there's a bit of hate in the match between Soderling and Nadal! Soderling got a lucky net cord and rather than pretend to be sorry, pumped his fist! and pumped his fist on a Nadal unforced error.....ahh these boys aren't best buddies.

Soderling gets great kick on his serve.

True talk B.....Nadal has the forehand breaker that starts off comin at ya that leaves the opponent reaching as it curves and cuts away.Great skill.



p.s. sizable t.v. screens are good huh.

 

[Broadside]

wow! that Nadal forehand at deuce....wow, if you saw it you know what I mean.

Yea, with the strings and racquet technology nowadays, the kind of spin they can leverage onto the ball is amazing. but his forehand is really good.

Well what about the Bartoli girl...she was practically faultless against J. Henin.Best game of ladies tennis in ages for mine.

that's nothing mate - the pollies can run rings around em - stringing us along with their rackets, and spinning the hell out of anything that comes near em .

Lleyton!!

Two men into the second week.

Been long time between these drinks.

Probably not going much further but feels good.

Who has been watching the tennis?

I was hoping for Petra Kvitova to win yesterday, she played well in the second set.

I didnt think Federer would lose - Nadal in.

I am hoping Andy Murray wins today, one of my friends favourites.

 

[Logique]

Two for three yesterday, as I thought Kvitova had it in her to beat Sharapova. So it's reach for the earplugs, Azarenka vs Sharapova in the final, which should be a great, if noisy, match.

Can't watch mens tennis, it goes too long, why can't they play three sets like the women. 4hrs to get through a match, I couldn't play table tennis for that long.

For someone with OCD and a chronic case of intestinal worms, Nadal makes a great player.

I have Djokovic to win the final but I'm not so confident now. Nadal was convincing last night.

Can't watch womens tennis, too noisy.

Is this fact or fiction?
