[Mister Wright]

The Poo is like the Pakistan cricket side, he can be woeful one day & simply brilliant the next. He had a terrible last year, I doubt he will follow that up again this year. Poo & Molik play well together, and this should be a good chance for Phillipousis to get some good match practice in. My tip is Russia.

 

[Simon]

Russia are definately the team to beat, they are on Germany's side of the draw, so im looking foward to Haas play Safin, if the Aus open draw permits, thats my tip for the final on January 30...

Argentina will be up there too, Coria is fully fit now and is still one of the wolrds top 3 or 4 players on his day, Dulko goes ok, but Coria will carry the team....

If Hantuchova plays to her potential the Slovaks could do well again, Hrbaty is the 3rd highest ranked male (13) there, so theres always a chance they could win a few matches...

Haas vs Safin - aren't you forgetting Mr Federer?

 

[Buddhmaster]

But Federer isn't playing, luckily for all the other teams.

 

[marc71178]

I expect he'll play the Australian Open though?

 

[Buddhmaster]

He won't just be playing, but he'll be winning it.

Sharapova and Kournikova would make the best partnership.

 

[Piper]

Sharapova and Kournikova would make the best partnership.

Simon so u are alive then?
the only reason they would make the best partnership coz they are the hottest tennis players (well i cant really see why anna kourn-i-cant-play-tennis-to-save-mylife-ikova fits that description)

 

[Peanutbutterbar]

Because she's very hot.

 

[cricket player]

I just dont like tennis although i like to watch girls play specially william's.SHe is one hot peace of ass.

Yeah I don't have a girlfriend either.

 

[Peanutbutterbar]

Yeah I don't have a girlfriend either.

Lmao. I don't think I'd want Williams as a g/f either.

 

[cricket player]

i dont think williams want you as a boyfriend either.

 

[Peanutbutterbar]

Good, I don't wanna be beat up by a chick. Just to comfirm, which Williams are you talking about?

 

[Simon]

kournikova has reitired anyway, so she wont be playing anytime soon...

as for federer, he will lose in the quarters is my predicition...

 

[Peanutbutterbar]

I know Anna has retired, but still, would be good to see.

And i doubt Federer will ever lose again.

 

[Simon]

thats a silly assumption to make, he will win wimbledon no doubt, hes by far the best grass courter on the tour, the french open is another story, Coria, Ferrero, Moya and Nalbandian are all better than him on the clay and if they play their best, each should beat him there. Aus open and US open are on hard court, so it gives anyone a chance to win it if they play to their potential, its hard to win 7 matches in a row against class opposition, there are players out there who can beat him...

also the fact no player that has won 3 or more grand slams in a year had been able to win slam the next year says alot, hes a marked man, given that, it will be a miracle if he doesnt win at wimbledon, but the other slams will go elsewhere this year imo...

 

[Peanutbutterbar]

But the guy is just so good. Always plays good no matter what. All the ones you mentioned may be better on some surfaces, but are still not at his level.

Safin is on his level, Federer has everything, no weaknesses, but Safin's power and timing make him dangerous, Federer fears him and rightly so...

 

[Peanutbutterbar]

When I saw not at his level, I mean in alot of things. Federer's consistency and calmness are above everyone else.
