Hisense Arena getting some kickass matches. Baghdatis vs. Ferrer going the distance after Ferrer was 2 sets and a break up!

Thank **** Channel 7 are showing this and not Stosur!

 

[Johnners]

Lol'd at Ivanovic. Broke back twice in the 3rd to get it back on serve (4-5), had 2 game points at 4-5, but ended up losing the 3rd 4-6.

Real bad cramping for Baghdatis. His supporters are carrying him massively though.

And wow, what a match, what a comeback.

 

[Jono]

Crazy match.

Ferrer 2 sets and a break up. Started showing signs of injury and Baghdatis never looked back.

 

[Dydl]

Stosur not choking as much in closing out that match, which you'd hope would be a good sign, but history indicates a bit differently...

 

[Jono]

Donald Young is an entertaining player. His match with Hewitt could be really good.

 

[Jono]

I just realised that Hewitt (provided he beats Donald Young) vs. Baghdatis is almost definitely going to be the night match on Saturday night.

I'll be there! The atmosphere will be ****ing amazing.

YES!

Lleyton Hewitt has a win/loss ratio of 1-15 in Grand Slams against top 4 players throughout his whole career.

Wow.

 

[Johnners]

Wow, that's crazy. Wonder who the win was against?

(not enough w's in this post)

Roddick Aust Open 2005 semi-final.

Lleyton Hewitt has a win/loss ratio of 1-15 in Grand Slams against top 4 players throughout his whole career.

Wow.

Was Henman just seeded 4th in '02, but ranked say 5/6?

Pretty amazing at Wimbledon that year. Hewitt (1), Henman (4) & Sjeng Schalken (18) were the only 3 top 20 seeds to make it to the 4th round.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Henman was ranked five because Tommy Haas withdrew for whatever reason

 

[Burgey]

I thought he beat Sampras when he won the US, not sure though..

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

He did, but Pistol Pete was No. 10 at that point

 

[Jono]

Hewitt vs. Baghdatis Saturday night.

I am absolutely stoked

 

[NUFAN]

That's going to be an awesome match Jono!

Did anyone see Venus play today?

I have a bit of a multi with her involved..

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Might also be 'treated' to Dellacqua/Venus if the former wins tonight

Yeah I watched Venus streaming on the net cos she was in a multi for me. She won in straight sets.

Power hitting, only kept the opponent in the game through errors.

Dellacqua vs. Venus will be a rout if she wins tonight. Yuck.

If the men's match is first I'd be tempted to leave afterwards if its Dellacqua vs. Venus

Good to hear. I'm going for Venus and Verdasco to win the SLAM. Big ask for Fernando, but oh well.

I don't think I want to ever watch Venus Williams and Sprem...
