AWTA, its the only thing stopping him. Someone needs to give him a slap and wake him up, because there is so much more he could be. He's shown that. IMO, the only player who could stop Federer in full flight.

Don't think I've got too many predictions today. Went against the seeds. Hasn't paid off.

 

[Johnners]

Have predicted all of mine correctly so far today. Need A-Rod & Nieminen to win for a perfect round, although I'm not totally confident of a Nieminen win...

Dellacqua's just broken Mauresmo in the 3rd, 3-1 up. Could be the upset of the tournament here...

EDIT: ****, broke straight back.

Wow. Was so nervous for Match Point. Still can't believe she won. Great job Casey Dellacqua, the whole nation is proud of you.

I was nervous the point when she won the second set. Thought she was gone when Mauresmo broke in the 3rd. But what a game.

What's everyones opinion on the equal prizemoney for men & women? Some may call me chauvinistic, but quite frankly, until the women start playing 5 set matches in grand slams, I don't see why they should be getting equal prizemoney.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, Mauresmo's such a choker.

Awesome game from Casey Dellacqua. TBH i was on the edge of the seat cheering her on. Glad she got through to the next round.

 

[Dark Hunter]

Kohlschreiber takes the 3rd, is up 2 sets to 1. Going to be one hell of a match. Can see it being another one of those games where the 5th ends at 23-21 or something insane like that.

 

[Pup_23]

Roddick is looking in trouble IMO. How many times has he played that drop shot.. !

I hope he gets through but Kohls is looking really good. Really have been spoiled with the tennis in the last 2 nights.

I agree...although I suppose if you're looking at pulling power then they are probably roughly equal.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha Roddick's all over the shop, love the guy though, hope he wins.

He is on edge isnt he.

Gone to 5 now with Roddick winning the tie break.

 

[Dark Hunter]

I can't see either player being broken atm...they're both serving amazingly well.
