2008 Australian Open

[skiptomahlouie]

this women's final has got to go down as the SEXIEST tennis match ever

 

[youngbuck32]

Tsonga is still another level. He's making it look so easy against Rafa, now lets see if he can keep it up the rest of the match.

 

[ultrasur1]

correction, he's making nadal look like an 8 year old girl.

playing with incredible strength and confidence. wow

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

Tsonga just beasting...

 

[ultrasur1]

lol. wow. this kid is ridiculous.

i want djokovic to do well, but it would be crazy fun to a tsonga vs federer final

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

Just straight pwnage... Tsonga will be a force in the finals. I can't wait.

Not going to be watching the Tsonga and Nadal match, but I'm still sticking to my prediction, Tsonga in 4.

See you guys tomorrow for Djoko and Fed...

How wrong you were....Tsonga actually won in 3.

 

[ultrasur1]

seems like you and i were one of the few up at this ungodly hour catching this sick display of tennis

tsonga just killed it throughout the entire game. he embarrassed nadal. nothing more to be said.

that was ill.

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

Indeed. Tsonga was showing Rafa how it's done.

I hope tomorrow's match with Fed and Djok will be just as good.

I wish I could say my prediction was based on true analysis, butafter Baghdatis and Gonzo made it to the Finals the past couple years, I knew a dark horse would come through on one end. And since no one would be surprisedif either Djoko or Federer made it, Tsonga was the only logical choice.
Too bad I didn't see the match, but that score looks nasty. Especially sinceRafa hadn't lost a set all tournament. All is still well with Nadal though, he looked good playing the two weeks and doesn't seem to have any illeffects from the knee injury he had last year.

I'm pretty hyped for tonight's match though. Rematch of last year's USO Final and a potential classic. I'm talking about 2005 AO SemifinalSafin/ Federer 5 set epic status. I'm obviously expecting 5 sets, with the fifth set going into double digits. Winner? No f'n idea. Whoever winsthough, I doubt the final will be as easy as I initially thought. Youth finally served in men's tennis. Gotta love it.

The Tsonga/Nadal match replay is on ESPN 2 right now, My man Nadal went down in flames. SMH

 

[nyelectric]

I'm excited to watch this Nadal/ Tsonga match.

I love Tsonga's game.

 

[gordon gartrelle]

Fantastic tennis courtesy of Tsonga.

What time is the Djoko/Federer match

 

[i3]

Yes wow!

Ana v Maria is probably the sexiest match of the Aussie Open.

No one will ever top Anna K though.

 

[ironmanfitness]

anna k. there is no subsitute.

Damn another all-nighter

 

[illmaticsoulchild]

Just finished watching the replay of the match on ESPN 360. Unbelievable tennis by Tsonga. Rafa didn't play bad at all, Jo just came out and blasted himoff the court. Not going to jump on the bandwagon just yet, but that showing against Nadal was very impressive. This is even more of a reason for me to wantFederer to win, seeing how Tsonga can handle the King. And even if not, a Djokovic and Tsonga matchup is just as appealing as well. I hate the evening matchesin Australia because of the time difference, but I'll of course be up for that one.

 

[frank 7he t4nk]

I can't wait for the Fed and Djok match tonight! I hope Fed sticks it to Djok.

 

[kiddin like jason]

I forced myself to stay up for this one; it better fit the bill. Or maybe I'm hoping for a straight set match so I can go to sleep.

I don't have class tomorrow, but that's not the point.

 

[acidicality]

is fed-djok on like right now?

ive hated chokovic forever since i saw him, throwing the racket like that and causing a ruckus=unappreciated.

i didn't like federer at first when he first came into the game, but after seeing him just dominate like that, i can't do anything but respect andbecome a fan.

Agreed, except for the becoming a fan of Federer's part. I completely respect him, but I root against him often and am by no means "afan".

Too good.

>>>>>>>>>>

at tennis and in the sexiness department.

 

[kiddin like jason]

Everything about Federer is classy; I love the all-black ensemble.
