[ethos]

I'll be there for the whole thing, wearing a fluorescent orange shirt haha

Early (and slightly bold) prediction is Andy Murray to win. When are you attending ninga?

 

[Broncoman]

The Australian open is awesome been a few times before. Tennis is great entertainment unless Sharapova is playing (gee she is HOOOTTTT):respect:

Great win Lleyton!!!!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Great win Lleyton!!!!

Yep good on him.

 

[Coxy]

Still a douche.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hopefully Tomic can pinch a set off Federer tonight. Don't think he can beat him but giving him a run for his money would be great for his future.

 

[Browny]

Scoreline didn't tell the full story for tomic, he will be massive

 

[Bucking Beads]

Federer is the greatest of all time. Hard to see any 19yr old take a set off him IMO. He really is a freak.

 

[Bucking Beads]

The shrieking is ridiculous from Sharapova.

Federer is the greatest of all time. Hard to see any 19yr old take a set off him IMO. He really is a freak.

Yup. Exactly 5 years ago in the 4th round of this tournament, Federer beat a 19yo bloke in straight sets, like he did today against Tomic. That 19yo bloke is currently the world no1 and tipped by many to go down as the greatest ever. I don't think Tomic will ever be as good as Djokovic but he is only young and has definitely got a grand slam in him.

Come on Lleyton!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Good stuff from Leyton. Love his fight it is superb.

Absolutely epic match between Murray and Djokovic.

 

[Jeba]

Wasn't it awesome. Both players dug deep on that one. I've been calling Murray a cat all tournament based on his record in big matches against the big 3, but last night he proved that he really is worthy of being in the same bracket as Novak, Rafa and the Fed. I've no doubt he'll get his grand slam win in the next couple of years.

The final should be epic too. Rafa has had the easier run in, and has the extra day off so I'd be leaning towards him at this stage. But you can never ever right off a champion like Novak. This could be one of the classics. Go Rafa!!!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Epic final!!! Well done to Novak just unbelievable. Both players looked down for the count at different stages.
