Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by livin: 6:38pm On Jan 22, 2012 |
can some1 explain wat happened to li na? I concluded the match was over during at the start of the 2nd set n went to sleep. Apparently she's seriously lacking mental strength. |

del potro vs kohlschreiber was suprisingly one sided, but li na vs aussie kim lived up to expectation. |

Serena, Ivanovic, Zheng have all been beaten in straight sets. Murray is safely through to the QFs. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 6:45am On Jan 23, 2012 |
Tsonga out despite having a great first set. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by lafile(m): 8:38am On Jan 23, 2012 |
Quarter Final Pairings: Thomas Berdych V Rafa Nadal Juan Martin Del Potro V Roger Federer Andy Murray V Kei Nishikori Still awaiting the results from Djokovic/Hewitt and Gasquet/Ferrer. Still cant believe the Japanese guy knocked out Tsonga. was tipping Tsonga to do great things this season. Never too late though. Is Del Potro about to repeat his feat from 3 yrs ago? He hasn't been the same since his injury, but isn't playing badly. But beating The Fed might be asking a tad too much. Would be interesting to see how Murray handles Nishikori. Wont place any bets on that one. I'll place bets on Nadal beating the inconsistent Berdych. Cant seem to warm up to the guy. Last Q4 pairing is definitely Djokovic v Ferrer. Cant wait for the fire in that match. |

I like your analysis there. Definitely there will be some great tennis for us to watch. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 9:44am On Jan 23, 2012 |
lafile:Nadal will surely have his hands full against the dangerous but inconsistent Berdych. It can get to 5 sets and at that point anything is possible. What fire will be in Ferrer v Djockovic match? At best Ferrer takes a set and no more. I can't wait for the Delpo vs GOAT match though. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by pazienza(m): 10:39am On Jan 23, 2012 |
FOD: Serena! Wat happened? |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by noblegas2(m): 2:57pm On Jan 23, 2012 |
Is anyone watching the battle between Hewwit and Djokovic happening now? |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by lafile(m): 3:48pm On Jan 23, 2012 |
@damas11111. I love the aggressive way David Ferrer plays. Like his itching for a fight. Djokovic just beat Hewitt in 4 sets, while Gasquet lost to Ferrer in straight sets. Its looking like a Semi Final of the top four again. Who's gon spoil the party? I tip Nishikori or Del Potro |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by jaybee3(m): 3:51pm On Jan 23, 2012 |
Murray has the easiest route to the SF King Fed needs to bring his A game if he wants to reach the semis Nadal needs to fight as usual and i'm sure he will be well tested by berdych Nole might struggle to get past Ferrer |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 6:50pm On Jan 23, 2012 |
I side by Berdych to upset Nadal, I pick Fed over Delpo, Djockovic over Ferrer, Murray over Nishikori. Can't wait for the fireworks to start. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by fredoooooo: 10:34pm On Jan 23, 2012 |
the happiest person on this earth today over serenas lost is sharapova , she definately know that form or no form , Serena williams will kick her ass ivanovi that one cant beat any top player again , what really happen to the girl . Djokovic tennis nowadays makes other players trembles , but baba twins is the only one i think can take care of him , if the game didnt last 5 sets , otherwise djoker will beat baba twins on physical level o. atleast now the games is getting more interesting most especially , the women draw keep open everyday , you can never put your money on any player , but i still think Kvitova and clijsters will win this , afer rena is out |

Wozi has been eliminated in straight sets by Clijsters. Not surprising a bit though. Kim is a real fighter. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by Santino1(m): 6:47am On Jan 24, 2012 |
damas11111: If you ask me, I'd say the Belgian just won her last aussie open, trust her to make mince meat of Victoria Azarenka, It's Kim all the way |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by FOD(m): 7:20am On Jan 24, 2012 |
Federer takes the first set 6-4 against Delpo. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by member67023: 8:38am On Jan 24, 2012 |
Fed takes the Match 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 10:50am On Jan 24, 2012 |
Nadal is having his hands full as expected. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by RuuDie(m): 11:42am On Jan 24, 2012 |
damas11111: Yep. . . . he is in for hard, hard game. Hope he makes it; he is my favorite player on the tours at the moment! |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 12:12pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Anyone watching the 2nd set here? |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 12:15pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Nadal is too passive. Sorry dude, he doesn't deserve to win this one. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 12:17pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
I can't imagine a top player of Nadal status to be this passive. Standing up to 4 meters behind the base line to receive second serves of average speed of 140kph. What a shame! |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 12:19pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
If Berdych loses this match; he ll have himself to blame. He has been playing and serving so well; he could have sealed the 2nd set in that break. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 12:22pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Yeah his 2nd set also has been lousy, Imagine the break already in the 2nd game of this set. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 12:24pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Ohhhh he has broken back! Most objective game played so far in this match |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 12:24pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
femzy:Inded. He has given back the break. Shame! |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 12:28pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
48% of 2nd serve points won wo'n't win him the game playing a player like Berdych |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by femzy(m): 12:31pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
In smell a tiebreak in this set again but who it favours; i don't know? |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by damas11111(m): 12:39pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Berdych level has dropped by about 10%. |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by RuuDie(m): 12:55pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Nadal doesn't seem to be moving freely enough for me. . . . .but Berdych, looks absolutely jaded!!!! |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by Davidbanky(m): 1:00pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Thomas berdych is proving to be tough for nadal at †ђξ monent,†ђξ game is over 3hrs now , M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ money is on nadal |
Re: Tennis: Australian Open 2012 by member67023: 1:06pm On Jan 24, 2012 |
Nadal wins the 3rd set, |
