Thank God tennis is back!


Hewitt is on the verge of being booted from his own tournament in the first fround.

Gasquet and all Brits are out in the first round.

James Blake, coming off of a Sydney Open win, won in 4 and Taylor Dent lost in 3.

i love watching james blake
james blake is my favorite player. I was devastated when he got injured but I am so happy to see him back. He dominated the US Open.

[mcfly21]

blake is good but i like ginepri a lot more, he's deffinently my favorite player

ginepri is really cool. I'm happy Taylor Dent is out, I don't care for him much.

But the real question is can anyone beat Federer?

[mcfly21]

for some reason i don't think he'll win

hewitt will probably end up winning....

since he's aussie n all

hewitt struggled like none other yesterday. and historically (excluding last year) he hasn't been that great in the Australian Open.

and if federer isn't going to win, who will beat him?

he struggled in one match, so what

i really don't know who federer will play but i just dont think he'll win it.... maybe finnally roddic will beat him

damn. i have Taylor Dent in my fantasy tennis league.




but, i doubt anyone beats federer. he's money.

[mcfly21]

i just want to see him lose

[I am all talk]

Roddick is on the opposite side of the draw so they wouldn't meet until the finals.

Hewitt is gone. Rejoice!

[I am all talk]

James Blake is gone. How depressing.

The Haas / Federer game going to decide of the winner of this tournament.

But a really boring match.

that is a realistic possibilty. Haas has been playing good. Although he is one of my least favorite Americans, Roddick has been playing pretty good. If anyone can break through the second half of the draw I think it will be him.

[El_Jeffe]

Roddick's backing himself to win
recons he's done the most preparation
hass & roddick have an outside chance
but if anyone takes federer out my bet
is it will be nalbandian

[El_Jeffe]

i was cheerin for hewitt
sucks that he's out

[mcfly21]

bump*

think anyone can beat federer?

i just want to see him and grosjean play in the semis

[dayafteryesterday]

Roddick is out now after 5 sets he lost to Baghdatis.. i can't believe it. i really wanted him to make it to the finals:\
