I may be blindsided due to not being a fan of his character also but I cannot stand the way he moves on the court. His awkward open-pushed forehand, his cunning pout after winning points followed by fist pump. I can honestly see him getting very pissed off tomorrow in 43 degree heat and I'd be happy to see him lose.

He is a bit like Sharapova or Azarenka to me - his playing style is similar to how off-putting their grunt/shriek is.

Sharapova is smoking hot so it's ok

My money is on many progressers in later rounds from, or living in/used to, relatively warm climates. The conditions will be a big factor as the tournament goes on.

As a result I reckon Nadal will win the mens. No idea about the women's. Would love to see Andy Murray take it out though.

I second the notion that Nadal will take it. Can't see Murray getting past the injury soon enough, Federer is in poor form lately

I'm the opposite, I actually like his playing style (has a bit of a federer vibe in him).

However, I dislike him as a person due to how he is off-court. He's a dick in general.
Federer vibe?Lol, tell me you've heard of "Grigor Dimitrov" his playing style is so like Federer and he defs has more potential than Tomic at this stage. He's now a bit well known than before because he's sharapova's boyfriend atm. Should youtube some highlights if you don't believe me :P
And yeah, i believe he is a dick in general and i hate how he's so overconfident when he thinks he's gonna win Federer easily. Looks like this is gonna continue against nadal tonight.

I agree with you on Federer and Murray's form atm. Though i think it's gonna be between Djokovic and Nadal again. If that happens, i think i'll go with Djokovic because he's better on hardcourt? But nadal did win djokovic in us open :/

That was all Nicholas Mahut   ;) - got vibes of Isner/Mahut when Ebden dropped two sets in a row to go to 5.

Isner did like 100 aces in that match too.

Are the outside courts worth the $39?

Depends on who you're watching... who are you watching?
If it's a player you like, then yeah i guess
