Sharapova is playing a horrible game aganst Chakvatadze....

Chakvatadze definitely deserved to win the first set but messed up a bit in the tie-breaker. Atleast 10 times in this game Sharapova put out easy lobs which otherwise she probably would have nailed it in!!!!

a poop! Hingis lost

True, but excellent fucking games in teh 2nd set especially all the same.

Nice long rallies... Maria was not playing at her best level, but seemed to be merely scraping by, matching Chakvatadze's... but it meant interesting, long games to watch.

I quite enjoyed that match. Frustrating to watch her fight and falter thought, while trying to close out the match (several times)

Originally posted by Jem_hadar You just dont see serve and volleying like you used to. But then you have players like Federer and Sharapova who arent afraid to come to net and are bring it back into play to a great extent than we've seen recently. Justine Henin-Hardenne comes to the net a good deal as well now. Its a riskier, tricky form to tennis to develop, but can be unbelievably effective, if the skills get developed.

You're so right Jem. Serve & volley is almost gone.
But if u can do it well aka Sampras, Navratilova, McEnroe its almost impossible to beat.
I SOOOO want Federer to do it more often cause it puts SO much pressure on the opponent - they constantly have to make great passing shots just to have a chance.
But it is a craft that is VERY VERY difficult.....

Roddick vs Federer: Roddick's at his best since he fired Gilbert.
I cant believe how well he is playing. Having said that he is my most disliked player on the ATP tour. But he's so composed now.
He has a legitimate chance. But i'm staying with Federer cause i LOVE 'em, in 5.

Women:
Sharapova vs Clijsters: This is a guaranteed GREAT match. SO close.
But staying with pre-tourney prediction...Clijsters, barely in 3.

Serena vs Vaidisova: Really like Vaidisova's game, and only 17. Great future, no doubt. But this is SERENA. Hate 'er, but DAMN she's good...refuses to lose. And so much experience.
Serena in 3. Vaidisova is a yr away from being top 5.


One last note: ANYTHING PLZ, whatever it takes, i cant watch
Serena win another Slam. Her arrogance disgusts me, SO American

EDIT: WOW #10 Fernando Gonzalez JUST beat #2 Nadal in straight sets!
This really is a surprise to me.
Sets up #10 vs #12 Tommy Haas in the semis.
Both had HUGE wins in the quarters, making this semi WAY too tuff to call.
Good on Gonzalez tho

Is TA being SPAMed again? WTF mate?


Gotta say I was ver disappointed to see Kim knocked out Hingis, but not surprised, although after the first set I didnt really get my hopes up.

Im with you on no.10 Gonzalez, he's been the player I didnt realy know or follow coming into this tournment thats reall got my attention, much like Baghdatis did last year! I'm really impressed w/ his game. Hes a great player to watch too, he fights, baby!


I agree, i dont think Serena is gonna have an easy time winning over Vaidisova, but I think she'll do it, as you said, its Serena and she plays the big points WELL. It usually takes an experience player to dominate her in big point situations. Serena is one of those fierce competitors that just almost ALWAYS steps it up when she damn well needs to (and badly!)

I love Vaidisova, just like w/ Sharapova... shes only 17 and showing SO MUCH promise! An excellent player to keep an eye on here, yes.

And I agree Roddick is at his peak since leaving Gilbert. And I'm actually shocked too at how composed he is.
But unlike Serena, I dont hate Roddick. I never know where he stands in my top 5, but he seems to constantly fluctuate with me, but i still enjoy watching him. I love seeing this knew Roddick.
Only 4 unforced errors in a whole bloody set...who knew he was capable! I sure as shite didnt up until now!

Yea, there are some great games coming ahead now. I love Hingis but kinda wanted Clijsters to win just because she has been soo close to winning the cup and never made it. Plus isnt this her last final appearance???

I have yet to see Gonzalez play so I have no idea about his game. I feel bad bad for Nadal though. But overall, Federer vs. Roddick seems to be promising but history has been with Federer so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. Fuck, this is time I tend to miss the older tennis when we had knockout games like Agassi vs. Sampras, man they were so not one sided, lol. I haven't really been following Australian open, just wanted to know how did Blake and Nalbandian do???

Gonzalez is a gun! What a sick match!

I love Tommy Haas but I'll be happy if Gonzalez wins!

Volley, yes. Serve, hardly. I don't even know how you can say that serve is almost gone considering the amount of players that have their serve as their main advantage.

No no, you misinterpreted him. "Serve and volley" is referred to a practice in whole. Serving,then coming in and volleying.

The "serve and volley" game is all but gone is what he meant. Not that individually serving is gone (ie. big serves as you read it) or volleying is gone.
