Anyone watching this year? Federer FTW!

Long match yesterday with Jankovic, couldn't hold her serve to save her life!

I think I'm about the only person I know that doesn't like tennis very much. I'll watch Federer and Roddick because they're awesome, and I'll watch Sharapova for obvious reasons. Apart from that though I don't really watch tennis.

[walchy]

sharapova and me one day...i guaransheed it

[Rich Rane]

Hmm...

Henin and Federer...my "Whoa, I wasn't expecting those two" picks. Just wondering...is it rare to have both number 1s win? I was hoping someone had statistics on that.

Go Dementieva.

Sharapova over Davenport in Round 2.

Everybody should be rooting for Chakvetadze.

I want to punch out Pam Shriver.

Mary Joe Fernandez is pretty cool

Baghdatis will have the Aussie Greeks on his side as always, CHANT AWAY BOYS!!

[PhilipNelsonFan]

God, I feel bad...the only coverage I've seen yet has been half a set of Carlos Moya against that Austrian dude who was grinding Moya into meat.

Interesting to note that the suplots of Hingis and match-fixing have really taken a backseat at the Aussie Open.

Safin is raining BOMBS OVER BAGHADITIS

Yeah, I read about that too. It was hilarious.

[GQStylin]

WowowOWOW! What a stunning match between Roddick and Kohlschreiber the german!

Such unbelievably high quality tennis and the drama wow! Several times Roddick had match point against him and he aces his way out, but in the end the german just had too many wicked passing shots that Roddick couldn't get to. Andy serves up 42 aces, the most he's ever served in a single match and he still loses!

[BlackMamba]

well, he's andy roddick, what would you expect?

Yeah that was for Economidis' match (great effort by him as always).
It was bullsh*t, the fans didn't really do anything to provoke the pepper spraying as they were just chanting and cheering away in between points.

[AdamTheGreek]

Can't wait for Marco and Hewitt, every Greek wants the cocky Aussie to lose.
Of course Roddick chokes again.

Well this time around its not so much Roddick choking as the German guy playing even better than Andy did, even though he played pretty damn well.

Andy had 70+ winners to 20 odd unforced errors and 42 aces.
Kohlschreiber had 103 winners to 30 odd unforced errors and 32 aces or so.

Hard for Andy to beat a guy who was so on his game last night. The German just made so many good shots.

[RockTHECasbah]

dats wack

[GQStylin]

Wow, yet ANOTHER insane match tonight!! Federer pushed to the ABSOLUTE BRINK by Tipseravic!

Can't believe Roger fell behind twice in sets before pulling it out 10-8 in the fifth! Crazy crazy CRAZY!!
