2012 Australia Open Campaign

Gael Monfils 7-6, 1-1 Marinko Matosevic


AND my man Harrison has taken the first set over Andy 'the Twat' murray! he is doing very well and if he can maintain the same style of play and continues to control the match, we could be in for a mighty upset!

The babes aren't done yet. Aussie Sam's up now, but she's not the babe I'm referring to. I'm talking about her opponent, 21 year old Romanian, Sorina Cirstea.

Pironkova makes the rest look like lol@50uff$ supporters.

I guess the pressure of playing in Oz is too much for Stosur. Dissapointing for her

 

[Chip Bayless]

Like a deer caught in the headlights. I had her out earlier than most, though not round one. Stosur just doesn't handle the expectations at home well. You see her in interviews and she just looks shot. Disappointing and not good enough from a Grand Slam winner.

 

[Bulldog Force]

Well... that caps off a disappointing Summer for Stosur Such a disappointing run for our #1 lady! It's been quite a fall from grace for her since winning the US Open! At least we had a few ladies get to round 2. The last she can do right now is drown her sorrows... she needs to get back out there and keep practicing for the Fed Cup. I'm guessing she's in doubles? Can't confirm that!

Deer in headlights LOL am I the only one who finds that amusing?? I've never heard that term before... but I get what it means already :lol: LOL you have no idea what you've done to me dude... out the window goes "Stone the crows" and "OMG"... that's all been replaced with "Deer in headlights" from now on LMAO :lol:

 

[joshie]

your a crack up bulldog haha


and harrison is getting his now, 2-1 is the set tally to Murray but Harrison is up 1-0 in games in the fourth set.

look at this ones action shot, stil really beautiful haha

 

[Bulldog Force]

Looks like Murray might take this one out - currently leads 3-1. Looks like experience has come into play. Still take nothing away from Harrison - he'll only get better with more experience and court time. He's taken the world #4 to his limit.

With all these lovely ladies coming from Russian, Romania, Czech, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Belarus (all Eastern Europe), you wonder how the hell Italy are the current Fed Cup champions. Those countries swamp the WTA tour with their stars!

 

[joshie]

yeah Harrison has done very well! impressed me well and truly, still in this if he can find SOMETHING

and tennis really encourages me to go backpacking around europe because of the beauties that play tennis. surly they must be an untapped gold mine haha!

4-2 to Murray in the fourth set

Twitter speak carried on over to the forum. Edit made to post. I have had editors who I wish took something so trivial the same way.

Small things right? ;-) Glad that's all it took to get a laugh around here. Someone should get Will Anderson on this forum, he'd finally get an audience and possibly a laugh.

Enjoy tonight's tennis, should be good.

Good win after first set scare. Standard Murray. Will warm to task and make semi-finals.

hope not....


but he did come back well, because Ryan Harrison had some amazing pace and structure. he really put the pressure on Murray but that never changed, Murray adapted. Harrison is a player to watch for the future.



so what is the picks for tonight matches gang? and are you game enough to try and pick scores? :crazy:

Pretty much, he'll get there and Novak will wipe the floor with him. He doesn't go up to the next level in the big games.

 

[joshie]

good old Hewitt still thinks hes 17 with his cap on haha

 

[Bulldog Force]

Can't guess the scores. To be honest I thought Hewitt would be eliminated in 4. Not happening though because he's won the first 2

Looks like our #2 player, Matt Ebden had a cruisy win over Souza, 6-3, 7-6, 6-2. Good work from the young bloke.

 

[joshie]

And Hewitt has won! came back from 1-5 in the fourth to win it! good on him!

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

good old Hewitt still thinks hes 17 with his cap on haha

Don't diss that look, I still rock it, from time to time haha!!!

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

I was at the ground today, particularly for both Murray and Roddick's games.

Definitely Murray was lucky he looked well out of sorts, I thought during the first and pretty much hung on as it went further, but I was pretty impressed with Harrison though. Looks decent.
