The Tennis Thread

Sharapova is already down a set! I hope she can pull this out.

[Adam]

She got it in 3 sets! I saw the first set, she looked very uncomfortable, especially serving. The wind was not doing her any favours.

[Soapsuds]

Sharapova is not the same girl who won Wimbledon. She just sucks. I am so sick of her screaming..shirking...lol I dont see her winning the tournament.

Adam beat me to starting the thread...glad you did...I felt like the only one posting on the tennis threads...lol

I thought there was no wind today? A perfect day for tennis.

Love this tournament...probably my favorite tied with Wimbledon. Love the atmosphere and night matches. Glad Berdych won today. I wish Ryan Harrison would have won.

I see Serena winning the women's side. The men's side should be fun to watch!

[Soapsuds]

Holy [!@#$%^&*]! Damn...should have taped tonight's tennis...lol. Anyone see the two guys kissing after the match.....hehehe

[Soapsuds]

Got to love this guy for kissing Monfis in the lips after the match. Good looking guy and not a bad player.

Yep that you do.

Thanks for the reminder, I had forgotten that it started yesterday for me.

Found some old photos that I took at the Aust Open some many years ago. If I remember correctly it was Pat Cash & Stefan Edberg playing doubles.

[Soapsuds]

Please post if you can...

And here it is

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

I will do that if I can find a scanner that scan the photos as a .jpg, as all the ones at work scan things as a .pdf, but I can always save to my photo bucket account if that is the case.

[SnCCorinthos4ever]

Here you go.

Cash & Edberg are in the upper part of the court.

I do have a couple where they were closer, but they weren't with this lot. I also have one of Steffie Graf from the nose bleed section of centre court but not exactly sure where that one is either.

I love this tournament,

I would love to see Jankovic win on the women side

As for the men, I'd love someone new

Either Gasquet

Tsonga

Fish

But I still love my Djoko!!!

[Adam]

Of the top seeds today, Nadal seemed to have the most trouble. Even though he won hi 3 sets, all 3 sets were hard fought. Serena cruised to a straight set first round victory. She's looking good! I really want her to win. It will cap off her comeback.

[Soapsuds]

Tonight's matches were rather boring. I enjoyed Nalbandian's match though today.

[Adam]

Venus Williams withdrew before her 2nd round match started due to an "unspecified illness".

[Toups]

The French and Wimbledon women champs both lost in the 1st round. Yikes!

[Adam]

Yeah, I saw that.... always surprises at the Open. Zvonereva had alot of trouble today also in her 2nd round match, took 3 hard fought sets. I am very interested to see how Maria does tonight. Due to Serena being ranked so low (28th) they say as early as the 3rd round could see her play a top 10 seed. Yikes!
