Australian Open
- Thread starter mehro
- Start date
second upset. Peer beat Kuznetsova
What a point by Ancic to take the fourth set! Fifth set we go!
been a great match so far.
Justin, update your picks.
Justin, update your picks.
sorry. just noticed you already have.
I did, it should be all there in the first post.mehro said:
Fish beat Ferrer. damn.
vaidisova leading 4-0 in the first set.
Couple of missed easy volleys costing Ancic the break and the ultimately the game.
nice match. too many unforced errors from ancic.
the nalbandian game in the third round has to be the game of the open so far.

Vaidisova wins.
I think you'll find I called the Fish victory! Was I the only one?
Yes my tele is down since the bad weather hit Manc, I do have the sopcast thing but when I used it for the Villa vs United game before xmas, it kept stopping every 10 seconds to buffer, was unwatchable. The BBC website carries coverage from 8.30am so I can watch then, but to be honest unless it's a game I really want to watch, I'm usually asleep then, I tend to stay up late instead

No, you're not!Brad_Cantona83 said:
I hope Murray can beat Nadal today. Too bad Ancic lost. I like Roddick even less now he has "attitude" on the court plus Connors. Thought Serena might have lost too. I really hope Roger goes all the way and Clijsters would be nice in her last year. Does anyone listen to the radio coverage from the website? Has some quite good interviews etc. Being in Canada I only get what ESPN provides by way of TSN which tends to only be the American players.
has everyone updated their picks?
amol and PSmith need to update their picks.
My picks are Federer, Roddick for the semis; Haas, Berdych, Blake and Murray for the bottom quarters.
Sharapova, Chakvetadze, Clijsters, Hingis, Williams, Vaidsova.
Sharapova, Chakvetadze, Clijsters, Hingis, Williams, Vaidsova.
we're taking picks by the round. you can turn in your picks for quarters.
I'm just picking who will win the matches left. I think some rounds are ahead no? Anyway Federer over Robredo, Roddick over Fish, Haas over Nalbandian, Berdych over Davydenko, Blake over Gonzo and Murray over Nadal for the men.
Winner's in Bold
I'll update it as the games finish.

Murray plays very well so far, 5-5 in the first set.
Murray has been impressive so far.
Let´s go Andy, let´s go
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH Murray wins the first set 7-6
He used the challenges well there.
Sean_RedDevil said:
Looks like he`s gonna win the second as well.
If Murray wins second set I will put some money on Nadal, just for fun.
Murray is playing excelentally, just needs to keep holding serve in this set.
well he just lost oneCornell said:
Nadal just broke his serve again. Looks like its gonna be 1-1
Murray bottled that set pretty badly.
