Can't believe there's no thread about this massive event yet!!
With the lack of significant Australian talent this year I reckon Federer and Roddick have a fairly good chance, I'm not going for Agassi anymore.. Federer went on to finish 3rd round last time i checked..
Women's singles will be dominated by the Russians both with talent and looks, but only if they can break Serena Williams and i don't think Davenport will be too much trouble this year...
Your thoughts?
btw I'm going to the green courts tomorrow! should be a fun day :D |

Someone had to do it
That'll do for the moment
I don't really like him that much (on-court antics are a bit much sometimes) but I do hope Hewitt wins, safe money on a Hewitt/Federer Final |

Australian male tennis is gonna go down the dumps after hewitt and reid are finished....
I was in the South Australian Sports Institute Tennis Elite Program... known as SASi elite... same sorta thing hewitt came through, and there was no hope of anyone here making it...
South Australia has the best juniors nation wide and for the exception of this one kid called Todd Ley... no one would of gotten anywhere..
This guy was supposedly better than agassi at ages 11 and 12... but now being 17 he hasnt even made it to the junior tour... at 17 agassi was in grand slam finals etc...
This just shows were goin nowhere and how the junior tranining needs a revamp...

Hey dude i hear ya!!
After 12 years of playing and training 6 days a week for several teams at a high level (Basketball) i had to throw in the singlet..
Work ed me over in the end...if i didnt work the hours i did id still be playing if my injuries (bad ankles and knees) didnt persist.
Trance was always a passion...but basketball came first. Now that thats over im even more passionate about my trance and im glad i bought decks once again. Lets hope this hobby makes me achieve higher success then i endured on the basketball court. |

A baller? Can you recommend any good places to get a good pick up game in whatever city you're located in? I'd like to get in a few runns when I'm down there, and maybe throw down a couple on some people's heads. |

just got back from the courts with a pretty good measure of sunburned skin...
basically running around the courts with gatorade in hand, almost like a dance party except this is a sport event and i don't see anyone whose off their guts and no repetitive beats can be heard...
saw some actions of men and women's singles, highlight being hantuchova vs. dementieva (hantuchova put up a good match before dementieva ended her) .. saw a bit of venus williams vs. smashnova and that german guy in show court 3..
ing huuge lineup on the training courts to get federer's sig, instead of vinyls today we got some giant tennis balls to sign..
quality of the ladies are unquestionable, especially the garnier stall girls.. noticed a few wearing summadayze lanyard too :)
a good fun in the sun if you dont mind getting sunburnt and love your tennis!! :toothless |
