I support Maria Sharapova. I don't know why. Probably because I like her skills.

Maria sharpova has become a glamor girl instead of a tennis player... -.- she insults the meaning of tennis even if she is good. I support Justine! May she win another grand slam title. And all hail nadal may he take the Australian open this year (Even though he's going to lose because of that leg of his). If nadal can't take the Australian open then GO RODDICK!

Now that both Williams sisters and Justine are defeated.....and Hantuchova, Ivanovic, Sharapova and Jankovic are left, who do you guys think will win in the women's side?

Sharapova for sure I'm not sure about the other girl though. I've only seen her play once in the us open. Not that great... What about federer? I watched his game and I'm like awesome this guy is yukimura. And is it true? Nadal's into the finals?

Nadal lost to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (6-2, 6-3, 6-2.) Quite unexpected result. So no, he is not in the finals.
I like it when unexpected things like this happends.

Whoa I knew it darn his leg is dropping him down. He seriously is gonna go down this year cuz of that surgery. Well I'm waiting for federer to play an Australian kangaroo. Hmm I wonder who'll win? Anyone know when the finals are on?

Tsong, a French tennis player defeated Nadal with unexpected, unbelievable results. I was surprised too. I think Federer will win the other match and get in the finals.

Federer lost against Novak Djokovic (7-5, 6-3, 7-6). Now this turned out to be another surprise.
A Final between Tsong and Djokovic.

HOLY COW i watched that match before leaving to school. Damn Djkovic is a monster only 20 and he's challenging the worlds number one. How do they even have tennis in siberia? He is from siberia right? Come to think of it the first time I've seen him play was in the sony ericsonn competition last year. He was ok, but then woah, monster. And I'm still waiting for federer to play an australian kangaroo

jeez, all i want to do is see a Federer/Nadal match, but that's two opens (US and Aus) that it hasn't happened (well, in the US Nadal wasn't doing too good anyway...) and now Nadal Federer and Roddick have all lost! I like Djokovic too, but still kinda depressing...and it was in straight sets for Nadal...

Djokovic is the idol here for the teens that are trying to become pro in the USTA. Really annoying all they talk about is how he's going to replace federer and stuff. Seriously I like djokovic but he isn't up to ryoma class yet!!! lol well either ways a friend of mine played as hitter against him sometime back in the US open. Darn all the ball boys get to hit with the pros. The only pro I've hit against is Ferero. It wasn't to fun either that guy has no spirit...

Post by Mint on Jan 27, 2008 6:16:35 GMT 7
I think they are pretty good...although their play in this open wasn't that great, they are still good. But that's what I think

William sisters? They've lost their shine serena barely competes anymore, and venus... well I don't like her play anymore she's lost her endurance.

Novak Djokovic defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga with 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 7-6.
This was a good experience for Tsonga, who probably was happy just making it to the finals.

Ehh I just watched the highlights in the morning I missed the match though. Djokivic's topspin serves are astounding. He some great back muscle, he's like a whale.

Djokovic is the first Serbian to win a Grand Slam. Congratulations to him!

That's the part I don't get. How are there tennis courts in the land of ice and snow? How the heck did he play earlier in his life?

shiraishi you still havent answered my questions

They probably have.
I doubt Sweden will have any player that is even near Björn Borgs greatness ever again. Sadly enough that is.. And at the same time I think its awesome that a small country like Sweden had that kind of player.
