Some big matches today....
HRBATY - EL AYNAOUI
Moya - Enqvist
Massu - Kuerten

and Ouahab starts his charge for glory!

 

[Simon]

hrbaty, Moya and Kuerten are my tips...
Massu is the worst player in the worlds top 50 and hes ranked about 13th!
hes a joke....

 

[thewizard1o1]

I'm a bit weary of El Aynaoi i think he can take Hrbarty, Moya and Kuerten are hom thou me thinks...

 

[Mister Wright]

If he's having a good day El Anyaoi can beat anyone.

 

[thewizard1o1]

true, but he has alot more bad ones then good ones.

 

[Mister Wright]

true, but he has alot more bad ones then good ones.

He only needs 6 good days to win the Gold Medal.

 

[thewizard1o1]

6 good ones in a row is a tough ask for anyone...

 

[Mister Wright]

6 good ones in a row is a tough ask for anyone...

Not for Federer.

 

[thewizard1o1]

All his doesn't have to be good...his below ave. game is more then enough to beat alot of the players running about.

 

[Simon]

hrbaty is a good player and i think will go quite far in the tournament, El Yanoui hasnt done anything of note since last years australian open epic match against Roddick....

 

[thewizard1o1]

[Simon]

im surprised Youzhny beat Malisse, i thought he might do ok....
Grosjean should be happy to get past Horna, hes an under rated player...

Aren't there live updates on www.athens2004.com


Alicia Molik won today.

 

[thewizard1o1]

Each time i have checked they haven't had live updates

Yeah Molik had a huge win over the number 6 seed.

 

[Simon]

live updates on the site arent working, anyway Lamine lost lol, im not giving away all that money

 

[thewizard1o1]

haha yeah he did, i didn't even expect him to win a game but i got my money's worth for a while.

What about the Moya/Enqvest match, would have been a ripper to watch!

 

[Simon]

yeh for sure, i thought Moya would have done hm easy, but looks as though enqvist put in a big effort, but i guess in the end the lack of big game matches in the last few years let him down...
