Australian Open thread

I'm gonna go an upset and say Verdasco to win the men's.

Clistjers should clean up the other side.

What's everyone else's tips?

 

[Fozz]

Little Leyton to bow out in the second round. Tomic to make it the quarters. Serena to bow out injured in her second match.

Murray to win the mens, Clistjers the womens.

 

[Kris]

Clijsters FTW!

I haven't decided on Men's yet.

 

[Coxy]

Federer!!! Well, I can dream.

 

[Fozz]

He's going down to Juan Del Oporto again so no Bondi burgers for you, Coxman.

Rafa and Aussie Kim for mine

 

[ethos]

The chap in my avatar - Nicolay Davydenko.

No Marat for me to cheer on anymore, so i'll be backing Fernando Gonzalez.

Love the way he plays, and his birthday is a day before mine!

Must be a great player then. [icon_shady

Lolz, Tomic. HTFU.

 

[Coxy]

Yeah, what is it about players whose names end with "ic" being sooky lalas with psycho parents?

 

[mick]

Lol I haven't had a losing bet yet this tournament. Hope Henin goes all the way for the ladies, and honestly don't particularly mind in the men's draw. Will likely be Rafa or Fed again though.

While still on topic, is Andy Roddick the biggest douche in professional sport today? I'd put him right up there...

I'd throw Tomic into the ring there

 

[Coxy]

Weird, I quite like Roddick. I love his post match interviews, he gives himself shit and is humourous.

 

[mick]

Tomic is right up there, but he's a kid with a psycho father.

Don't hate Roddick off the court, but sick of his argumentative abusive ways to linesmen & umpires. Just like Hodges while on the field...

 

[Bannermania]

Tomic = BITCH.

No wonder him and Lleyton don't get along,. they're the same fking person. Next we know, Tomic will be complaining about the surface.

 

[Charmamba]

Maybe i should be watching Tennis mmm

Actually having seen him up close and personal - he's a psycho kid himself. And people I know in Tennis Australia have told me he is way worse than Lleyton was as a kid (and they have always said he was pretty bad) with less talent.
