Nishi knows he can beat him, that's good. Hope he pulls it off

Was there live. Chardy should have finished him in the 3rd but missed his chances and faltered in the tiebreak. Del Potro never really got going, match was always on Chardy's terms.

Nice you were there live! This was the first delpo match I saw, thought he would go at least QF again. Ah well

What you know

C'mon Nishikori

C'mon Nishikori

He's done.

 

[Niraj]

This is disappointing

 

[Tekniqs]

please don't shoot me as I don't follow tennis nearly as close as most of you guys.

I remember hearing a few years ago that Roger was still using "old tech" rackets when compared to some of the other elite players. Something about new rackets being bigger (?) and lighter and new technology with the strings. Is there any truth to this?

Just read about Pete claiming in hindsight he should have switched to the newer (of his era) rackets as they could have helped him mount a bigger challenge at the French Open.

They play it every year. Every time I hear it, I want to blow my brains out.

 

[clemenx]

Nishikori loves his slams 5-setters.

Yeah, it is true. Federer uses modified older technology. His racket has a smaller surface area than newer ones.

They do but I still love it, it's part of the Australian open for me

Look who's shown up to the match, leys go nishikori!

 

[The Last Wizard]

Nice scoop by nishikori.

 

[MIMIC]

 

[Peru]

Dangit. I better see Nishikori in QFs or better this year as well.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Love that Almagro backhand.

 

[LuuKyK]

Maria playing at 5% and easily beeting this Flopkins. lol

Chick can't even hit a topspin backhand. =\

 

[rando14]

Tipsarevic retires against Almagro

 

[Peru]

Sugarpova not enough- bakery business next, etc. etc.

Serve bad though, no reason to get too hyped.

 

[mcfrank]

Lost 5 games in 4 matches, I would say she is serving pretty well.

 

[LuuKyK]

Bakerpova giving me Australian Open 08 vibes with these wins.

 

[MIMIC]

Maria's really storming her way through the draw.

 

[zero_suit]

Meh. We all know what's going to happen if she makes it to the final.

 

[MIMIC]

Meh. We all know what's going to happen if she makes it to the final.

heh

 

[Slayerx]

WTA final gives some hope that she won't completely fall apart against Serena.

 

[Good Job Bob]

Meh, she still hasn't faced anyone of note besides Venus of course but she's old and past her prime.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Auf gehts Julia!

 

[rando14]

Serena hasnt lost to Sharapova since 2004.

 

[Peru]

Yeah Serena loosing to some scrub before is more likely than that.

 

[Slayerx]

Her celebration after she beat Venus may have been a big mistake though. Serena is on a mission now

So are the Rodionova's, apparently.

 

[LuuKyK]

Julia. -__________- there are no words

Pretty much this, and looks like Li will run away with the match now.

 

[Good Job Bob]

This match between Radwanska and Ivanovic is pretty quality so far. Who would've thought?

Edit: Seems like Ana couldn't keep it up past the first couple games though.

 

[Globox_82]

radwanska will never win a slam with this style

Good... i want waw/nole on asap! before i start goin zzzzzz

 

[MIMIC]

Heh. This tiebreak between Berdych and Anderson is some ferocious, fearless tennis.

11-all

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yep, whoever gets a mini break will win the set

 

[MIMIC]

Berdych wins the breaker, 14-12

 

[modulaire]

Stop wasting all BPs, Ana.

 

[rangersfan414]

Time for the Nole to be taken down!

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

C'mon Wawrinka! Gimme a good match!!

 

[perfectchaos007]

I predict Nole in 3

 

[rangersfan414]

Stanislas FTW! Lets gooo! Time for the Nole to go down!

 

[John Dunbar]

Another one of Djokovic's patented slow starts. Still going to win in 3.

 

[rangersfan414]

I predict Nole in 3

That's the likely outcome. Vegas had Nole at -4400 which is an enormous favorite. I've only seen faves that big on Tennis lines lol.

If you bet $100 on Wawrinka, you'd get back over $2000 if he actually won.

 

[Good Job Bob]

GOD DAMN AT THAT RALLY

 

[perfectchaos007]

Holy crap Wawrinka came to play!

 

[John Dunbar]

oh wow, he might actually get a set.
