Even if you're not into tennis, the atmosphere is pretty crazy........the SWEDES and DUTCH fans are always a major highlight and are always in for a party ...

Revved up for F1 after this!!

Ahhh, but tennis is my thing. I used to teach it, and I was even a ballkid for the canadian open when I was like 10 years old. I never watch the aussie open cuz of the time difference, but since there's no hockey being played, some of the matches are being shown on 'godly' hours. I've only seen one of the matches thus far tho, Federer's match, and man, that guy is still dominating the mens. I love watching him play tho, he makes rediculous shots look easy. And he's more than just a 140 mph serve.

Your DEF not the only one dood. I follow tennis VERY closely (fanatic)
and i HATE Kournikova just because she's a sellout and wasted her talent

Not only that, but Sharapova DID win the BIGGEST most prestigious
tournament in the world (Wimbledon) last yr, AND she's currently
ranked #4 in the world - something Kournikova wasn't even CLOSE to.

Favourites to me?
Men: OBV Federer
Women: hate to say it, but Serena (HATE 'er)

so is this thread about tennis or a manfest ?

Id have to say (unfortunately) that you're right... I dont dislike Federer, but Id really like to see Agassi win this again, or Roddick or Hewitt... actually, its too bad speaking about Hewitt, that James Blake lost to him today... man, whut that guy had gone thru in 2004 was RIDDICULOUS... i couldnt fathom how he maintained hope and perservered. Blake is another american favourite of mine

With both of the belgiums (my personal favourite of all time Justine Henin-Hardenne and Kim Clijsters) not competing, id have to put Serena as the mostly likely womens candidate


Oh, and ya, Sharapova TOTALLY OWNS Kournikova (tennis wise)... Kournikova cant fold a flame to Sharapova... this girl really is a gem and I cant wait to see how shit goes for her as she gets older and gets more experience behind her belt!! Shes the next great one, i think

Well, of course all the really big names in men's tennis are thru:

Roddick
Agassi
Hewitt

And the women's side of things, there are SEVEN (7) Russians in the final 16... DAHUM!

Very happy to report is 4th seeded Sharapova! Cant wait to see her play up against Silvia Farina Elia... gonna rape her!

Who knows whut TSN will actually show, but matches tonight id also love to see are:

Agassi vs. Joachim Johansson
Svetlana Kuznetsova vs. Vera Douchevina (go Russians vs. Russians)

and even Federer vs. Marcos Baghdatis (just to refresh my memory on his game)

Just read a quote re: my FAVOURITE player to HATE/depsie, Serena Williams...

quote:

Former top-ranked Serena Williams spent months off the circuit with injuries in 2004 and returned when the Russians were dominating in the majors. "There are like 50 players from Russia in the top 10. Every week you have to play an 'ova," Serena Williams said at Wimbledon last year, where she lost in the final to Maria Sharapova. "They ask, `Who're you playing?' I say, `I'm playing an 'ova today."'

Who says she has no way with words

ug!
