Surely you've gotta go Moya? Until you're good at the game, anyways. Then you take spuds like Johannson or Kafelnikov.
yeh Moya is unbeatable on that game, i use to play it heaps and yes i always played as haas...

Damn, Hewitt got through. Did anyone else see him tell someone in the crowd to 'shut the **** up'? Not that it's a rare occurrence of course.

Hingis just won, she played pretty damn well, beating Zvonareva that easily is pretty ominous, lets hope she can go a long way in this tournament..

She was awesome though... played some good tennis too!

As Nady said, it was the other guy`s coach. Good win to Hewitt.

I'm only surprised that some over-sensitive darling hasn't analysed the statement "I'm glad someone does" and come to the inevitable conclusion that the last word was a sly dig at any member who just happens to be part of a community that breeds deer.

Or reindeer.

The Lapps are heavily into Reindeer - but to a lesser extent, so are the Norwegians.

You learn something new every day - you only have to know where to look.
Pushing it mate..

Its so fun seeing a jackass like Philippousis get his butt handed to him by Grosjean. Hopefully Grosjean wraps up this 3rd set quickly.

Man, I want Rafter back. I can't support an Aussie tennis player when our two best chances of victory come from Hewitt and Philippousis. I just can't.

Well there's always Wayne Arthurs I guess :D

I'm Finnish and I take great offence.
You're finished, you mean

:dry:

Edit:

If you really are Finnish and you really do take great offence, then I of course apologise unreservedly.

I also pass on my heartfelt sympathies over the totally unfair attitude taken by all the people who accused Lasse Viren of blood doping, also for the fact that you suffered for six centuries under the unforgiving yoke of the Swedish.

Now if there are any Swedes objecting to that last remark, I have only two words to say to you: Ulrika Johnsson.

Speaking of tennis games, I picked up Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 at the start of this month for $30. Best investment ever! It's a great game! Interetingly enough though, there are only 14 proper players on it, somehow Haas made it as one of the 7 men :laugh:
Greatest tennis game I've played although there was also one on Super Nintendo that ruled as well. It was like the tennis version of Super International Cricket, since it had made up players and all. I so gotta pick that up on Ebay or something.

Anyway Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament is absolutely awesome. I got it for my brother immediately when it came out during Wimbledon 2004. It has great gameplay and some awesome characters. Their serves and shots are almost identical its very well made. Virtua Tennis is a classic arcade tennis game, but its no Smash Court Tennis in terms of realism. I always go Safin and own the computer, although my bro still beats me. I once took him to 5 sets but I choked. :(

What's really odd is, despite the game clearly being aimed to be marketed during Wimbledon 2004, the game doesn't have Federer in it. I mean that's just a disgrace. Still rules though.

I'm sure that even someone as hardcore as you has found something to smile about occasionally with at least one of my jokes or stories.

If not, and you really do find my posts so distasteful, just put me on your ignore list - really.

Yeah well, he still counts as 'someone in the crowd'. :p Either way, I'm not sure why he should get away with something like that (assuming he did get away with it).

The lovely attractive filter is saying "please use me, I'm here for a reason".

Hmm... an Aussie ranting at 'some other guy's coach'... Where'd Hewitt get an idea like that?
Probably his mum. She looks like she'd bring up her kids that way.

Yeah I know, they managed to include Haas and Gasquet but left out Federer :laugh:

I love the career mode on it, I've got pretty awesome at it. I won all 4 grand slams as well as the Davis Cup and the Masters round robin thing at the end last season :D

Grosjean is carving up the poo which is awesome! I've always been a big Grosjean fan!

Shame about Hewitt winning though. I like it when guys like Peter Luczak win though.
