Fedexpress vs Janko Tipsarevic next up.

Lets face it . . . 30 straight AO sets in a row . . . this guy is unbeatable at the moment.

Janko Tipsarevic! yay! Takes the first set off Roger Federer! 

phew!!!  what else can I say?

Up Next, Hewitt - Baghdatis.

Janko Tipsarevic! yay! Takes the first set off Roger Federer!

my oh my it was a cracker, Federer had to take this one in five sets.

i think Federer was just lucky to get away with this one.it was a real Cracker.

You can say that again. Tipsarevic could easily have won this game.

I wish I saw that Janko/FedEx match. Had to sleep.

Who's gonna win this Hewitt/Baghdatis battle? It seems Marcos' gonna take this third set; its 5-3 at present.

Of course I was wrong, Hewitt wins the third 7-5.
What's gonna happen now? No sleep for those aussies down under.

Seems Baghdatis is on his way home, Hewitt leads 4-1 in the fouth set.

wow! 5-5 from 5-1 down. This is now a battle of guts!

Hewitt will regret this if he loses this 4th set.

Yay! Marcos takes the tiebreak.

The thing to worry about for Hewitt is that Marcos has never lost a 5-setter here.

7-6 fourth set to Baggy! How did Hewitt lose that set? To think i missed Arsenal's third goal just to watch Hewitt close that game off at 5-1.

Lol . . . I also missed it. Had to see how these two fighters will slug it out.

what time is it now in Australia , nawa for this match o. Baghdatis leading 2-1 in the final set with Hewitt serving and now break point for Baghdatis.

finally, its over. Hewitt wins.

At last Hewitt! It would have been a disaster had he lost . . . losing the 4th set was criminal.

I wonder where the tennis sage Octopus is? Her oy Nalbandian just lost today and boy did he lose.

His game was a calamity to say the least. Just couldn't get his shots going for more than a point at a time.


How about Tsonga eh. Two top ten scalps for the unseeded chap
And he looks a real prospect. Anytime a player can call on a quick first serve to get himself out of trouble
then you knwo you have a hot thing. The boy is powerful, with big shots especially that forehand.
And he seems to have matured. This meeting against Gasquet was in stark contrast to their last grand slam
meeting at Wimbledon where Tsonga frankly looked immature and wild. He seems to have worked on controlling
his shots and that helped him claim the scalp of the no 8 seed.

I know how sexually unsatisfied women must feel now. . .after watching the Vaidisova/S.Williams match.
It was over before you could say jiffy.

Davydenko is booking his flight home as we type . . . Nalbandian is a sorry sight, Gasquet is finished, Roddick is on a downward slide . . . Vaidisova is a big baby but she will mature and become another Sharapova. . . Henin is looking vulnerable, how on earth did Kohlschreiber beat Roddick the other night and then just refused to win against Neimenen even when he was presented the chance several times?

This is shaping up to be one eventful AO.

Blake just beat Marin Cilic in straight sets 6-3 6-4 6-4. There's hope after all!

It appears that the men's singles will be between veterans Federer and Nadal and new kid Tsonga. And my Serena-Venus final prediction stills seems a possibility. Let's see how it goes.

abi ke, I was shocked to find out Blake is still alive, but his reward is a match with the FedExpress, too bad. My money is on Roger. and Roger vs Djokovic, I'm drolling at the possibility and maybe he can do some of those player impersonations too- that dude is great for tennis.

How about Tsonga huh? I liked him since last year and now all my rooting is paying off , I hope he moves on so I can watch him kick Nadals butt in the semis. Those capris need to go!

Jesoul,

Don't count Blake out yet. Anything can happen in tennis and some of it has actually been happening. Federer looks a bit more vulnerable in this tournament than usual, though I wouldn't mind a Blake/ Tsonga final.

Serena lost to Jokovic. No one was more surprised than Jokovic herself.

36 unforced errors says it all I think

Serena was very sluggish and listless in that match; I wonder what happened?

There is no comprehensible tennis reason that Serena should lose to Jokovic who
struggles to reach 90 mph serve.

And did you see Niemenen against Nadal. Some of his second serves should earn him
a ban from the tour.

i stil dont get it
wld love to blame the blister she had but Jankovic was also injured

now now guys who predicted Henin victory
well Shar simply blew her away
6-4, 6-0
shara has been in devastating form since the tournament started
beginn to look like she will take it

Jankovic beats Serena?
Sharapova beats Henin?

For me, these results are shocking. Is this the way Women's Singles is? - utterly unpredictable?. I wonder what the results of the remaining Women's quarterfinals will be.

well, i hope d result of of one will be
Venus into the semis
she has been sluggish as well, while Ivanovic has really 'uped' her game
kinda have a bad feeln about this _{as a Williams fan ie}

they are even out of the doubles as well

Tsonga/Mikhail
my bet will be on Tsonga

Bioye,

To continue the year of anything can happen in tennis, Blake is beating Federer 2moro, and Venus and Radwanska are going through to play each other in the next stage.

I love this game!!
