Australian Open

Always bet on the better looking chick, or the guy with the best looking girlfriend;-) .

Maybe Ivan was distracted by her too

 

[Jono078]

Damn.

At the beginning of the tourney I predicted Ljubicic and Sharapova to win. Now im down to one .

 

[HevyDevy]

I've got $50 on the Federer/Henin-Hardenne double

 

[lockyno1]

I have money on a Sharapova/Nalbandian double, plus 10 bucks on a Bagahtis win.

I've got $50 on the Federer/Henin-Hardenne double

The bets I had were

$50 on Davenport
$10 on Bovina
$5 on Safin
$5 on Agassi
$1 on Davenport/Safin double
$1 on Daveport/Agassi double
$1 on Bovina/Safin double
$1 on Bovina/Agassi double

I thought Federer would win the mens but he was too short, so put a bit of money on the only 2 players who can beat him. Which is why I only had $5 on them, plus $1 on the doubles.

However Bovina, Safin and Agassi all withdrew before the tournament began.

Nalbandian has a better chance than those two ever will

Lol just saw a werid play in tennis. Kieffer threw his racket up but Grosjean was still trying to hit the ball. Grosjean missed but the umpire said there was no hidderance. Grosjean was up 40-30 and the score went to deuce. But justice was done in the end. Now its 6-6 and this match is fast approaching the longest match ever.

Sebastian blew his chance today, but well done to Kiefer who goes through to meet either Federer or Davadenko in the semis.

Mauresmo vs. Patty Schnider is coming up.

Both Agassi and Safin have beaten Federer on this surface. Safin did last year. Nalbandian hasn't for 3 years, before Federer won his 1st slam.

This is the first year he made the Semi's here.

Yet he first made the Semis at Wimbledon(Grass) in 2002, US Open(Decoturf) in 2003, and French Open(clay) in 2004.

Rebound Ace would be the one of the worst surfaces for Nalbandian. His style of game doesn't suit this surface at all, which is why he has struggled in his previous matches against low quality opponents.

marcus baghdatis is a chance to really push roger.

Well they've only ever played twice here and it's 1-1

Doesn't Nalbandian still hold a postive record against Federer? Face it, apart from Davadenko, he is the best chance to beat Roger.

Yes, but apart from the Masters Cup final last year(when Federer was injured), Federer had won the previous 4 matches losing only 2 sets(and 1 of those sets he lost was in the round-robin of the MC last year when he did have that ankle injury).

Face it, apart from Davadenko, he is the best chance to beat Roger.

This year, yes. But neither are a chance of winning. Safin & Agassi are the only 2 players who can. That's why when both players pulled out, Federer went to $1.50 to win the tournament before it even started.

I never said other players were a better chance to beat Federer. I said the only players that can beat him aren't playing.

The only players who can beat Federer(when Federer is in form)

Rebound Ace - Safin, Agassi
Decoturf/Synpave - Nadal, Safin, Agassi
Grass - No one
Clay - Several players noteably Nadal
Carpet - Safin
Indoor Hard - Safin

yet you say Agassi has a better chance despite losing his last 8 against him :?

Watch the matches. He was competitive. Nalbandian wasn't

Agassi has beaten him on this surface in unofficial matches, and look at the way Agassi plays. RA is perfect for his game. It's not for Nalbandian.
