Australia Open 2009
-
I know its a wrong forum for such a topic .. but never mind, since I'm an avid tennis fan .. so I shall start one here. I didn't notice any threads talking about Australian open ..
I was watching the Djokovic v __ (i forgot his name) match just now. For a moment, I thought Djokovic might lose!! But didn't ..
Who else watches Australian Open?
-
why is this the wrong forum leh?
-
because this should be in sports forum?
-
To be honest, I am not surprised Djokovic struggled against Delic - Djokovic's a clown at times. He couldn't even beat Nieminen and Gulbis in the two tournaments leading up to the Aussie Open.
Federer and Nadal are still a class apart not just in terms of their ability, but also their consistency. Fitness permitting, I don't see anyone cracking the Federer-Nadal-Murray triumvirate in the ATP rankings this year.
Then again, probably no one deserves success more than Federer and Nadal given the model professionals and credit to the sport they both have been over the last few years.

GO FEDERER GO!
-
Gonzalez vs Gasquet : 3-6, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2, 12-10 !!!
-
I support Nadal coz he always picks his undies outta his ass crack in public.
That aside, I dont really know how to appreciate tennis even though I play tennis as a sport.

Federer's match on Sunday was a nail-biter. We'd already seen Jelena Jankovic being shown the door by 16th-seeded Marion Bartoli, with Dinara Safina having a close call as well. Along comes Tomas Berdych who wins the first two sets against Roger Federer:
Not that we needed to have worried, though. Winning the third set, the Fed's stamina advantage came clearly into play:
There was an odd moment when one of Berdych's challenges could not be addressed by the computer replay. There was no explanation but all that came up was "ORIGINAL DECISION STANDS". Berdych obviously wasn't too happy about it:
Taking it to the fifth set, Federer made one helluva comeback:
As was his usual custom, Federer threw his wristband and headband into the crowd after the match:
I saw the wristband go past me to the crowd behind, and looking through the lens I saw him aiming his headband right in my direction. I stuck my hand up and - whaddaya know - the headband landed right in it. I ended up giving it to my ex-housemate, who's a real tennis nut and who I happened to take along that day:
All in all, not a bad day - I got to watch Federer show who's boss in a great knock-down-drag-out fight, and I got to give my friend a nice little souvenir.

I am hoping Federer will throw his racket to the audience one day ..

Nah - went on the first day, Sunday and yesterday. We distribute the tickets amongst the staff at my office, and I've used up my fair share. Besides, processing the photos from the three days' shooting will keep me occupied for a week already.
