Australian Open thread

I don't even think thousand island dressing could make her any nicer.

It'll be a hell of an upset if Jelena beats Safina in the quarters!

 

[Coxy]

Tsk tsk! Probably needed a spoiler...still early in the turd set on channel Semen in Brisbane.

I probably shouldn't have stayed up to watch Dokic last night as I'm starting work before 6 this morning... but hot damn! Awesome match to watch & wicked to see her win it at the death like that. Who could've guessed she'd make the quarters?

Hope she knocks off Safina and goes further TBH.

I hope she goes on to win it!

How awesome was the crowd? Sure they don't chant like the Greek's and the Chilean's but gee whiz they made some noise.

Sorry, mate. TV wasn't free so I was using the interwebs, didn't realise Semen wasn't live. [eusa_doh

 

[Coxy]

Nup, Semen is always frozen for later use.

 

[Fozz]

That's no fun, Semen should always be live.

 

[Coxy]

That'd produce more trouble than it's worth in just under a year's time. Trust me.

HAHAHAH SEMEN!@!#
Anyway... How good was it to see Dokic win again? Not only that, a great game of tennis all-round. Credit to that russian chick, she is 19, showed a lot of skill and played a good game. Her grunts and fist-pumps did get a little annoying mind you...
The right player won in the end though icon_smile

are you guys sure the russian chick Dokic beat was a chick.. I though she was a man... Great win for Dokic she is doing herslef very proud. Hopefully she can recover from her ankle injury and put in a good show against Marat Safins younger brother.

Haha. I was shocked when the Russian chick that Dokic beat was only 19. She looked really old. :-S

But yeah...it was nice to see Dokic win that one!

 

[Flutterby]

Yep cheers to Jelena. Notice how there are more and more people in her players box every match now (was only her boyfriend and coach until the 3rd round) and her coach and boyfriend are being given Tennis Aust caps to wear? Nice how wininng suddenly gets you a lot of support from officialdom.

 

[mick]

I'm going out on a limb here already... but Nadal will win the men's Aus Open. Still no idea with the females - I seriously don't think S.Williams has it in her. Possibly Safina? Nah, won't say that because I want Dokic to knock her out tonight!

 

[Coxy]

Nadal is cruising, as he does every year to this point. Then someone actually challenges him in the QF or SF and knock him out. It'll happen again.

Tsonga to go all the way.

 

[mick]

Farking wouldn't mind that, tbh. Tsonga is far and away the best tennis player to watch on earth as far as I'm concerned!

 

[Coxy]

QFs:
Nadal def Simon
Tsonga def Verdasco
Federer def Del Potro
Roddick def Djokovic

SFs:
Tsonga def Nadal
Federer def Roddick

Final:
Tsonga def Federer

Womens:
Who cares. Just go Jelena go!

Not only did she look like a dude, she sounded like one as well. And I must say, if I was a professional tennis player and all I did was play tennis and train, I'd be ashamed to look as unfit as her! She must eat a lot of goulash or whatever they eat in Russia to keep up that kind of physique.
