Oh, and fuck Channel 7 and their shitty coverage.

I'd just like to reiterate this. Something somewhere is wrong when much of the rest of the world are able to watch coverage of an Australian event live, while Australians cannot. How and why this is happening, I cannot comprehend.

Monfils has a year on them both and both have been in more finals and won more career titles. Monfils is the real choker.

Looks like Murray is going to beat Isner, maybe straight sets. How does he manage to play like this and apparently spend 7 hours a day on the PS3?

Its either play really awesome or represent Scotland I guess.
 
Once Isner lost the tiebreak I knew the match was over. He was like 9-0 in tiebreaks till that point. But like I said earlier, Murray looks real good this year. It may be him and Davydenko in the final.
 
I hope Murray never wins a slam. That pushing crap is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boring and pathetic. It won't work against everybody.

I bet 99% of his winners come from passing shots.

I've always liked Kirilenko. But every time I'd watch her play in a major tournament, she hardly ever looked convincing. The last time I saw her was at Wimbledon last year, and Caroline Wozniacki destroyed her. It was then that I feared that Maria would be nothing more than a pretty tennis face. But she did well enough against Sharapova, and so her next few opponents were all beatable. Can't see her beating Safina though, unless Dinara has a shocker.

You had a good run Maria...

Sharapova was the only reason I watched. Trying to find some other people worthy, Wozniacki is okay and Ivanovic sucks now. Will have to give Kiri another chance I guess.

No you are wrong. Murray has played nothing but bums so far. Anderson, Serra. Djokovic playing Istomic, Kubot, Chuidinelli, Gimeno Travers. What is this, the Sunrise challenger? No way Murray makes it past a fresh Nadal. Guaranteed.

Karlovic's serve is incredible; it's a shame the rest of his game is atrocious in comparison.

Its keeping the game going though. If Karlovic can keep at it and somehow win a set, we're in for a looooooooooong ride.

Well it's tied at a set a piece now. Seems shit has gotten real.
 
Commentators point out that Nadal has finally figured out Karlovic's serve

He answers with a flurry of aces to win the game :lol

In top 20 matches with the record of most aces hit, Karlovic holds most of the spots. IIRC, he lost all of those matches.

Goddamn...if he could just make the rest of his game half-way decent, he'd be unstoppable.
