Go Dellacqua. Is facing a tougher opponent than Mauresmo, but is definitely there with some chance.

it was so unfortunate that baghdatis got injured :(
i reckon if he wasn't, he would've beat hewitt. even with a sprained ankle he won a set

I don't know. It's just one of those things, you know.
Besides, he needs haters. :P

Agreed, hewitt's attitude is terrible, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume a large portion of Australians now wish to see him lose. Although, I'm not a huge fan of Baghdatis (or better put - his fans) either

Hewitt faces a tougher prospect tonight, with Djokovic. Djokovic to win in 4 sets imo.

He's not a racist. There is an unjustified occupation of his country by the Turkish government. It is a border dispute, and has nothing to do with racism.

This'll probably happen, Federer will beat Blake, then Djokovic. But maybe that Tsonga guy might have a chance at beating Nadal, he played pretty well last night.
Oh and I love Ana Ivanovic's dress

definetely sharapova will win easily, she's been playing extremely well, very focused. i think she deserves to win.

bleh i hate hantachova, such a whinger, complaining about ana's squeaky shoes. i didn't even notice it.
Title: Re: Australian Open 2008
Post by: JL_91 on January 25, 2008, 10:44:47 am
tsonga was goddamn amazing 0_0 he really deserved to win, and he seems like a good guy. lol, hantuchova's handshake at the net with ivanovic was just plain RUDE, did anyone see that? and sharapova's just made me dislike her even more...she said that jankovic "should stop whinging and get on with her tennis"!!

i'm rooting for federer tonight, and ivanovic tomorrow =DD i just hope tsonga doesn't go off the boil in the final like gonzalez did last year, it's a real letdown after seeing such amazing stuff

gah i hate that hantachova- i saw the handshake too, it was completely disrespectful.

and i had no idea how horrible sharapova is!! what she said was disgraceful, jankovic was injured and she wanted to retire, but didn't, because she wanted to be fair to the audience. i think that's pretty good sportsmanship.

i actually don't want djokovic to win anymore! over him lol. i actually want federer to win, so I can see Tsonga take him down in the final

TSONGA will win. wow, who would have thought that he would make it to the final of the Australian open so easily?

LOL. i still in can't believe Federer lost... grrrrr. In straight sets as well. He had plenty of opportunities in the first set. He wasn't well prepared for the Aussie Open i think. Oh well. There's always next year.

Djokovic was too steady last night, and deserved to win although I was going for Tsonga. Tsonga's ranking will now skyrocket, and if he can keep up this form should break into the top 5.
