A mark injury followed very soon after.

Well, yes, the Jarmilla thing must be pretty darn galling...

I would love to see James Duckworth win today, and Ash Barty is the future of Australian tennis, golly, she was even born here!

Is the stream lagging for anyone else too? Keep going to buffering.

Who is Duckworth ? sounds like a basketball player.

First time I've had a chance to look at this. How's the court speed looking?

He was a part of the very successful oz junior DC team.

He has rapidly improving form (smashed polish / italian futures circuits, ok beginning in challengers) and is now living up to his promise.

Thanks for the link, I didn't know Youtube did livestreams!

BTW, Duckworth has a strange service motion.

forthegame · 12-10-2011, 06:22 PM

Matosevic's serve motion is odd too..

Aromatic shredded Duck!

Mat looked like he had the new radical pro.

It looks really slow and very ruff. Tailor made for nadal.

Nostradamus · 12-10-2011, 07:07 PM

What on earth is Marinko doing with that Credential card ? he's gonna wear it out.

Bartelby · 12-10-2011, 07:31 PM

The plexicusion always seems rough and abrasive to the ball. It certainly seems to be quite different from the smoother plexipave type court.

bertrevert · 12-11-2011, 02:47 AM

Am liking the way Greg Jones is hitting that ball.... whew

Timbo's hopeless slice · 12-11-2011, 03:34 AM

yeah, but still, that wasn't a great loss..

he might make it through the qualies I guess...

C'mon Sammy boy! Get back into it... Jonesy is moving better and better, both those guys are funny especially when they play dubs together. Both can be hot heads too, Sam especially.

equinox · 12-16-2011, 04:02 PM

Jones had no chance, he has no heart. I look at him an think manufactured robot. Such boring player, watched him since 1st playoffs and imho he hasn't improved.

He is kinda like a robot but he trains hard. I saw him this and last summer and he is moving better from that highlight vid (not saying much, it's just highlights). I dunno what your talking about "boring", his arguments with himself and berating of himself is hilarious! Sam and Greg were hella funny in dubs, I remember Sam backing up for a putaway and just stopping while yelling "GET IT JONESY!" lol. I liked watching both of them!

Don't rate the bloke.

Check his record, he's floating wood. Struggling to push past challengers and GS, ATP qualifiers. Has many bad losses and couple of decent wins.

I'm sorry, no more TA support should head towards greg. He's had his chances.
