^not here in Aus. The commentators here are shit. Much better to have the box on with no sound.

**ChiangMai noon** · 22-01-2008, 05:04 PM

I'd rather watch Anna Ivanovic than listen to her.

I'm listening to it on Aus radio as the beeb are contractually not allowed to let us listen as usual.

Have just seen why Murray got beat 1st Round....a French Cassius Clay.

This guy has talent.

^Sorry no naked pics

**unkleblacky** · 24-01-2008, 09:08 AM

I amwith ChiangMai noon on this one, Ana is the hottest out there and it is making me chckle that the commentators say she has gained a lot of fans there, I wonder why hehe.

Although slightly disappointed that her kit is not more revealing, but the pic from CN is awesome

**Wallalai** · 24-01-2008, 01:35 PM

Perfect round bum.

**Wallalai** · 24-01-2008, 01:44 PM

VS

AND

Who will play the final ?

**ChiangMai noon** · 24-01-2008, 01:54 PM

I'm going out on a limb by thinking that Djokovic will beat Federer.
nadal will be a step too far for Tsonga.

Djokovic to beat Nadal in the final (4 sets)

**Wallalai** · 24-01-2008, 02:27 PM

I'm afraid you're right. This Djoko is a real pain in the a$$. But Federer is not N°1 by accident, so let's see what happen on friday. It will be very tight though.

**ChiangMai noon** · 24-01-2008, 05:20 PM

The lovely Ivanovic is through to the final in spite of losing the first set 6-0 to Hantuchova.

she will play Sharapova.

newsflash.

Tsonga has demolished Nadal in the first 2 sets.
6-2...6-3.
can he keep it going?

**ChiangMai noon** · 24-01-2008, 05:45 PM

Tsonga is 2 breaks up and serving at 5-2 third set.

It's all over now for sure.

**ChiangMai noon** · 24-01-2008, 05:54 PM

Game over.

Tsonga into the final incredibly easily against Nadal.

6-2 6-3 6-2

Suddenly Murray's loss to him in the first round doesn't look so bad.

after ballsing up that prediction, I still take Djokovic to beat Federer.

**CharleyFarley** · 24-01-2008, 05:57 PM

There is an anomaly that's showed up in Tsonga / Nadal, whereby you have 3 judges of a line call- 1) the linesman
2) the umpire - can overrule
3) the player - can challenge

So a serve is good, is returned out, umpire says serve is out, the player challenges and hawkeye says good, so the point is replayed, but really the point should go to the server.

I hope you'll be wrong on this, I bet on Roger.

**klongmaster** · 24-01-2008, 06:44 PM

I imagine Roger will be quite relieved by the turn of events in the other half of the draw...Roger and the boxer in the finals...6-1 6-3 7-5 to ....

Roger

i dunno.
Nadal has never been beyond the semis on hard courts. (aus or Us open)
Fed has his beating on them.

I watched some of this game earlier, and she looked like a sack of spuds. Maybe it was the wide-screen telly I was viewing it on?

Those wide screen tellys sucks, even Maria Sharapova looks like a kwuay on them.

They should learn to use them properly by adjusting the screen to the image format. But it's already difficult for them to find the proper channel.

**Wallalai** · 25-01-2008, 02:45 AM

Now it's aproximatively what happen in Thailand with wide screens, I prefer much more my 4:3 cathodic TV with black stripes up-dowm-left-right, depends the format.

**klongmaster** · 25-01-2008, 03:20 PM

What time's Federer playing today?

**CharleyFarley** · 25-01-2008, 06:22 PM

He just got beat straight sets.

Two serbians in the finals.

**ChiangMai noon** · 25-01-2008, 07:02 PM

Yup.

as I predicted.

Djokovic was too much for Federer.

**Wallalai** · 25-01-2008, 07:48 PM

Yes Djoko was the best today. I think he will win the final.

not too sure about this, but the French might have a word or two to say about this

EDIT: think I just got what you meant, men's and women's finals, rather than two in the men's final

**William** · 27-01-2008, 04:37 PM

Amazing first set. Looks like the Frenchman is in with a chance.
