Alot of upsets today!
Federer had a tough game against Andreev but was expected due to Andreev being the tour's right-handed version of Nadal (allbeit not as good). Serving was terrible however and the last set bagel was very deceptive. I think the semi's will be Federer vs Djokovic and Roddick vs Nadal though. Davydenko played well but at a GS Federer should be too much.wellyphoenixfan2010-01-19 21:38:51

We will see btw SB no Paston talk from me for the rest of the season if Murray wins it.
Also SB I am not going to start something but in short they have been pretty even.
Hopefully the Erakovic match will be on the internet. Court 6 so probably not. Some good clashes tomorrow.
Dissapointed they are showing pavlyuchankova and kuznetsova instead of Caroline Wozniaki.

Scotland update:
whoa easy tiger, still a long way to go
did he say that? what an arrogant c**t. I hated him enough already!
Watched the Tomic-Cilic match till 3 in the morning. Quite good although I hate Tomic with a passion. Most arrogant tennis player I have ever seen, thinks he will "probably be better than Federer" one day! Murray fans (who like Murray for his playing style not country) should like him as they are near identical in playing style.
Baltacha should lose her next against Safaina...
Father played for Ipswich.

Na, here's what I reckon the semis will be:
Davydenko (RUS) vs Djokovic (SER)
Murray (SCO) vs Del Pothead (ARG)

Love this video from Andy Murray's first ATP tournament when he was much younger:
You don't see many points like that.

Erakovic on at 1pm tomorrow.
Was going to PM you and ask if you could compare Pastons last 5 games to Reddys games since being at the nix?

i hate seeing hewitt win, though the longer hes in the tournament the longer beth cartright is in the crowds so thats one positive
federer looked a bit slugish but a win in 4 sets against andreev isnt to bad
Semis will be:
Federer v Tsonga
Roddick v Nadal
Tsonga v Roddick in the final
Tsonga to win.

Interesting to note that Murray is now wearing adidas (formerly Fred Perry) and Djokovic is in Sergio Tacchini (formerly adidas).
The outfit worn by Djokovic was atrocious - the shirt looked like something a late-90's bogan/magician from the Hutt would have been rocking.

Erakovic getting crushed.

YAYS Wozniaki is on.
Wow Henin and Dementieva just had an epic match.
JMDP beat Blake in a 5 set epic.
JMDP
JMDP

Scotland update:
Sitting at 5 wins and 0 losses so far. Murray and Baltacha into third round. Fleming into second round of doubles.
Baltacha should lose her next against Safaina, but Murray looking good for the title. Fleming in the doubles has beaten the best, but still an underdog - with a chance though.
Shame that Blake couldn't beat Del Pothead last night.

the two americans querry and isner are in the doubles together, if the gel and play well together that could be a very lethal partnership
anyone know when erakovic is playing her doubles match with dellacqua?

Baghdatis vs. Ferrer just starting, very even match up. Could easily go to 5 sets, 3+ hours. I'm excited!
Tbh, I am getting annoyed at the tv coverage constantly cutting from decent matches to watch these crappy Australians - just because they're Australian! Let me watch the good tennis!

Last night I was annoyed they switched from Del Potro-Blake to Henin-Dementieva.
This Baghdatis-Ferrer match looks like it's going to go the distance!
Ivanovic out.

Father played for Ipswich.
She should definitely lose then.
Andy Roddick. What a twat. f**king yank.
erakovic and dellacqua playing the 11th seeded russian pairing today
Father played for Ipswich.
He played for a Scottish club as well, before or after that. Capped for Russia many times... Elena's brother played Football for Scotland Under-21. One of those successful families.
Fed looked better last night (though against easier opposition than his first match).
god i hope kohlschrieber beats nadal
More Tomic after he had to meet with officials after his comments about playing till two in the morning:
Q. Today's discussion has been about what you said rather than how you played, which seems a shame. Do you feel like you kind of learned a lesson as far as just being a little bit more careful in your post?match comments?
BERNARD TOMIC: No, not really. Haven't learned anything. What's there to learn? I just finished the match and I said a thing that I was probably ?? what was I supposed to say? It was 2:00 in the morning.
No, hopefully next schedule will be during the day when I play

yeah he is quite a cock..he claimed that he would have beaten Cilic if the game was during the day. Becuase of his age apparently.
Clijsters getting turned over, narrowly avoiding getting $3 for Petrova (settled for $2).
