2009 Australian Open - Contains Game Results.

**bayster** · 01-24-2009

Well, i'm watching it on seven in tas. Also i didn't see 4th set must've finished quickly or 6:00 news just cut it off. *******s, ithink i might eventually use those lnks although the coverage hasn't been that bad, but it sometimes cofuses me when they say, bla bla at 7:30 and end up having it whenever a womens singles match ends. Also i wonder how stosur and haas will go. I'm going for haas. I just want fed to beat sampras record, he deserves it, then he can go away or just occasionally play, the record iis more important than regaining no.1 i reckon, he could take longer breaks and not play all tournaments. Like what commentator said.

Oh and Monfils is back and bloody good. Also andy murry must be playing tomorrow or something playing from what i remember baghdatis (spelling).

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

Murray is the game before Nadal.

I remember when Monflis first came on the scene at the US Open, Roddick just destroyed him. The year Roddick won it I think.

He has come along way.

**bayster** · 01-24-2009

Speaking about roddick, he seem to be playing good. Don't think he will win but he could get into semi finals, not much room for upsets. Too many good seeded players, baghdatis is playing well but once he starts playing the likes of nadal, djokovic, fed and murry he will be screwed.

**admartian** · 01-24-2009

Can't stand Federrer. Wish the best player in the world was more humble like the ones previous him (Sampras, Agassi, etc).

Oh well. Let's hope some random Wild-Card beats him.

Btw, always been a fan of A-Rod. Always thought he's had potential but never been too focussed.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

What are you on about? Federer is one of the most humble people there is in world SPORT! let alone tennis. Even is fellow professionals agree and previous greats of the game. Always willing to give an interview, always speaks highly of his opponent and always congratulates them before anything else.

How much more humble do you want?

And when you're as good, arguably the greatest ever, as he his then you are entitled to speak highly of yourself.

**boogernose** · 01-24-2009

Yeah, Fed has been dominating tennis for a long time. He knows how good he is, but I wouldn't consider him arrogant.

**boogernose** · 01-24-2009

I'm watching the Murray/Melzer match right now. Man, Murray is some kind of talent. This guy's game really impresses me.

ps - the live stream off of atdhe is great (thanks again, kop). I don't have to listen to the BS commentary that I usually get with ESPN/Tennis channel.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

They are great links aren't they.

Man Murray was impressive in that 2nd and 3rd set. Cruised through. Haas up 2-0 early in the first, broke Rafas first service game, should be a great game this.

**bayster** · 01-24-2009

Go haas. That is all, although he is really going to have to work his as off.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

And just like that it's 2-4 Nadal.

He changed that back fast.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

Well, Nadal changed that around VERY fast. Haas just has no answer.

**bayster** · 01-24-2009

Well Nadal is bloody good, he beat haas convincingly and haas is no slouch some of those rallies cross court were just awesome. Also nadal's ability to get to all the balls and make him play extra point is one of the major reasons he won, other than his speed and power and accuracy...

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

He started real slowly. But as soon as he got into the game, there was no contest.

Federer Brdych tomorrow should be a good match.

**bayster** · 01-24-2009

I wanted fed to vs his fellow swiss, that would've been good. Also the gonzales/gasquet match looks good. Guessing it not live feed tho. 5 seter finally.
EDIT: OMG its an epic. 9-9 are you serious. Still going and i dont want to know the result by looking at live score updates.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-24-2009

Yeah was an awesome match, flicked between a few feeds, will go down as a classic.

I just watched the Haas vs Nadal replay, and Haas didn't play badly by any stretch, he played some bloody nice points. I just think the difference was consistency. Rafa was able to go another level, where as you feel Haas was at breaking point.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-25-2009

Geez what a horrible start for Fed, broken in his service game and looking very slow and behind the 8 ball.

I'm saying it now, Fed is ****ed. Berdych has too much power.

Fed drops the first set and trying his hardest to **** away the second as well. He wasn't even playing this badly when he was sick last year.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-25-2009

Well, that's it for Fed, Aussie open over for him. To be honest after this match, I don't ever see him getting number 14, god he looked TERRIBLE.

Fingers crossed for a meltdown.

Meh, I dunno. Just do.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-25-2009

You got your miss mate. Fed is gone. Wont be coming back from this. He gets the break in the first service game of the 3rd set, then hands it straight back with some horrible shots. Fed doesn't come back from 2 sets down.

Well to be fair, he could comeback. I've seen enough tennis to not write anyone off. Especially someone like Fed.

**bayster** · 01-25-2009

Break again. So many goddam breaks, i really want this to turn into a five seter. Fed looking better, still not like b4 when he vs'd safin.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-25-2009

Fed still looking bad. It's more Berdych blowing it than anything. Fed is still making some horrendous unforced errors.

**Kopkiwi** · 01-25-2009

Roddick is looking awesome, definitely don't write him off for a serious push at the title. Looking fitter and faster than previous years and hasn't lost that awesome service power.

**bayster** · 01-25-2009

5th set here we come : ).

**Kopkiwi** · 01-25-2009

Yeah I don't know. I'm still picking Roger to bow out in 4. Still looking the worse of the two. Berdych just needs to settle and take some time and he has it all over Federer.
