Welp, he definitely had his chances unlike Globox predicted, just didn't have the mental stability to take them in the end. Produced a really high level of tennis out there overall and especially in the first set. Quality all-court, varied play. A couple of sick 1HBH's down the line.

It seems the workers at atpworldtour.com are still on holiday. I can't track live scores of Sydney or Auckland. The website seemingly hasn't adjusted to the 2013 season.
What? They're on the website.

The score tracker still highlights the Andy Murray/ John Milner score. It's like they aren't even updating it...he's played 3 matches since then. The site is usually very punctual with scores and such...not recently

Thanks for this.
Also, Donald Young aka Dolan Young has almost dropped out of the top 200 now. He may not even get an opportunity to run through the qualifiers at the AO lol.
Qualifying draw for the AO is released tomorrow btw. It's almost here!!!
Really impressed with his play. Hopefully he can make it to to the R16 of the AO at least.

My waifu Lauren Davis won her first round match today in New Zealand! Now that she's in the top 100, she won't even need to qualify for the AO

Lauren Davis absolutely destroying Sorana Cirstea right now 6-1, 4-1
A good time for US and GB young womens tennis? Who would've thunk it! Robson and Watson both in the top 50 too.
Good times.
Holy crap, I thought you said your wife at first, I was about to say hook GAF up :lol
In all likelyhood Sorana Cirstea destroyed herself, she and Gaydosova are the epitomes of brainless ballbashing.Lauren Davis absolutely destroying Sorana Cirstea right now 6-1, 4-1
Are Djoker's practice sessions news stories these days?
Is this forum where we just post news? In that case why are you posting a comment and asking a question?

Holy crap is Ashley Harkleroad REALLY a permanent color commentator for Tennis channel? Just a couple years ago Pam Shriver and Mary Carillo were trashing her for posing nude for playboy, now she joins the team. I don't like her so far, she sounds like a soft squeaky mouse which isn't appealing as a commentator.
She's the most adorable player on tour I wish I could hook my self up! Pocket Rocket Cibulkova has nothing on this petite powerhouse ( in attractiveness that is, still working on that ranking ).
Yeah I thought Christina McHale would take over as the post-williams sister American star, but its looking like Sloane Stevens will be assuming that role soon. Ironically, Slone Stevens and Lauren Davis face off in the QF later today in Hobart. Christina was bounced by Li Na a couple days ago at that tournament

I simply don't understand why you brought these photos to our attention. Surely anyone interested can find generic Djokovic photos without any difficulties.
Madison Keys looked very promising earlier today. Not sure about Stephens or McHale, they might hit top 10 at one point but who knows.
you didn't respond to my question, that means you are trolling.
Pictures are from practice on Rod Laver arena, you know AO that starts next week. Not generic picture from 2010. Keep on trolling, I will keep on posting what ever I like and is allowed.
I responded to your questions indirectly.
Obviously it's a message board so people can post a wide variety of content, from their reflections to questions to various news and multimedia. But I would prefer if there was a specific reason to any of those things.
And yeah these photos are generic Djokovic photos, the background is blurred out. Good that he's ready for AO, I guess.
edit: ridiculous lob

Globox is basically a Djokovic PR bot anyway =P
then if you know that it is allowed to post pictures, you shouldn't ask stupid questions only to later contradict yourself . generic or not, just skip them if it bothers you.

No Roddick, No Fish, No Isner. The top American at the Australian Open will be Sam F'n Querry. American tennis is a pathetic joke on the mens side

It's been a joke since Sampras left.

They've had a pretty good run in the past. They have cumulatively the most weeks at no.1 and have produced so many great players. Probably on par with Australia as the most successful tennis nation.

Hahaha yeah I know, I am just mostly kidding anyways.
But you can't possibly deny that things aren't looking good for the US right now.
Well I guess countries like Switzerland actually has it worse since they only have two men there although one of them is arguably one of the best of all time....

I would put Czech Republic up there.
I think most of future tennis stars (men or women) won't start breaking through until they're 23-25yo., apparently both the more physical nature of the game as well as the new ranking system (in place since 2009) prevent that, so the crop of American players such as Harrison, McHale, Stephens might still prove reasonably successful in future.
Thanks for the heads up!
what? 2hr from now?

Does anyone remember Robbie Genepri? I feel bad for him. He was once a US Open semi-finalist, and a couple years ago his ranking dropped so low he was only able to play Challenger tournament. NOW his ranking has dropped even lower and he's currently trying to make a living in the Futures tournaments ( which isn't possible unless you win every single one ) he lost in the semis of last weeks futures tournament in Weston Florida.
One thing that's glaringly obvious, is that he didn't have a fall back plan after his tennis career ended, so he has no other choice but to make pennies playing this kind of tennis. Poor guy

Ferrer's officially the No. 4 player. Given his rise, it's entirely possible for Federer, Nadal AND Djokovic to all land on the same side of the draw come Roland Garros.
Murray would have to replace Federer as the No. 2 player, though. And that can totally happen, seeing as how Murray defends substantially less points than Federer between now and then. And if that happens (assuming that the RG seeds are based solely on rank), Djokovic or Fed could play Nadal in the quarters, and then each other in the semis @_@
It would be the worst slam draw ever.
