Tennis Anyone?

[Sir Why You Little 37,342]

The same man who beat him in the semi finals of the World Tour Masters last season and just took the first set out with two breaks.

This match is far from over, but save the hyperbole.

I am at Work-keep me posted....still reckon the Fed express will do it!

Davydenko up one set and 3-2 with a break. Back on serve in the 2nd

The Fed goes bang bang and takes the second set.

He does that! Puts that quick after burn Blast just when he needs it

One set all...cool

Davydenko is a good player so we could be in for a 5 setter....

[45HG 1,559]

The Fed express may have put his foot down (if only we could watch it, thank you Channel 7). 2-0 in the third set.

Don't Tell me F@#$'in Today Tonight is polluting the Airways now!!

SHAME 7 SHAME...

[45HG 1,559]

Yep.

Hopefully when this rubbish programme finishes the tennis will return to a bit of a contest. Davydenko clearly doesn't like TodayTonight either - he's lost 10 straight games to go from 3-2 up to 2-6 6-3 6-0 down.

ARGH just found out that Home and Away is on next. Davydenko is doomed

You are JOKING!!!

Home & Away...FFS the Australian Open should be with us at the ABC for at least the 2nd Week

That is just Hopeless....What about their Digital channel?? bet that is doing nothing!

Contempt 7 just like your boring Dull AFL coverage...Grrrr

[45HG 1,559]

Contempt is certainly the word to use when considering the way channel 7 treat their sports coverage. Not even 7two has it on.

Meanwhile Davydenko has won his first game for 13 games and trails 2-1 in the 4th.

Home & Away....My God are there still humans who watch that Dirge??

i am glad i am at work to miss it!!

C'mon Justine ! 3-4 down and back on serve after breaking back.

[Sir Why You Little 37,342]

I cannot get over the size of serena's shoulders, if Justine is to win she will have to outlast a tank.

[H_T 3,049]

Could have gone either way. Justine looked the winner at the end of the second set winning her set 6-3. Both girls took a break before the third set. It halted proceedings and Henin's purple patch where Serena was able to get her game going again by breaking justine. In the end a good final, congratulations to both and to Serena for defending her title, as well as equalling Billie Jean King. Edited January 31, 2010 by High Tower

Roger Federer what a magnificent champion he is

Murray pushed him at times...but Roger is all class on & off the court.

[2014-Flag 0]

Just watched last week's Four Corners on the turmoil in Tennis Australia, and the insiders view on the push by Paul MacNamee to take the reins. Clearly MacNamee is a pretty divisive figure, but the TA operation seems to be so disfunctional that maybe it is time for a new broom. The question is, is PN the right man for the job.

Hre lasted a matter of months as CEO of MFC. Does anyone have insight about this short tenure, apart from his wanting to recruit Jonathan Brown. I understand there was a push back about his being a "non-football" person, but wasw there any more than this, and does it say anything about his suitability or otherwise for the TA job?

Stosur beat Henin at the French Open!

Now for Serena...

[H_T 3,049]

Stosur beat Henin at the French Open!

Yes, magnificent effort. Big stepping stone in her tennis career. Can take a heap of confidence into the Serena match. Go Sammy !

[titan_uranus 25,212]

And Federer's lost in the Quarter-finals, which is the first time he hasn't made it to the semi-finals or beyond since 2004. 23 consecutive grand slams he'd made it to the semis. But Soderling got him in 4 sets.

[H_T 3,049]

Awesome performance by Samantha Stosur defeating Serena Williams in three sets. 8-6 in the third and final set. Will gain great confidence. The first time she has beaten a World No.1.

Now for Jelena Jankovic in the SEMI-FINAL.

Many junior tennis kids could look at Stosur for inspiration. Her hard work & determination has got her into this position. At 26, she has a few good years ahead of her in tennis. Just the kick Australian Women's Tennis has been craving.

[titan_uranus 25,212]

I didn't think she'd be able to beat Serena. Now I have confidence. I mean, Jankovic should be relatively easy compared to Serena and Henin. Wow. Who knows, maybe she might go all the way...

You're right titan, I was of the same opinion. Playing darts with a group of mates last night - no-one gave her a chance of beating Jankovic. Couldn't believe it. Most thought she had just played her "Grand Final" beating Serena. As she one, she didn't carry on - that's a sign of the 'work is not done yet.'

Played magnificent tennis did Stosur, defeating Jankovic in straight sets in a most dominant display. I think she will win the title (oops - I hope I haven't mozzed her).

Samantha Stosur. Well done ! But one more ! Then Wimbledon !

I'm pumped she is playing so well, her off forehand is amazing and a kick serve to die for.

It's Time For Australia To Get Behind Sam Stosur

Absolutely. Her kick serve is nearly the best in the game. It has troubled all her opponents and is most effective on the clay surface. It will suit her at Wimbledon too.

Come On Aussie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
