125? thats ridiculous lol

its ridiculous...the australian open should not be on some random surface to make it unique if that surface has nothing to do with australian tennis...nowhere in australia are there wooden or cork courts etc....

haha...Voltron & abdjeter2 both said it was a PC..?

yonex super grap, in white. although i've never used it over leather, i've used it over a lot of other different grips and its def my fave.

I'm with ThePro....there is no way she is 65kg/143lbs lol

Hell no. there is usually only half a set of good tennis in the current finals anyway, and that will probably decrease if we increase the length of finals. who really wants to see 6-0 scores in the deciding set of a grand slam? not me...because that will happen if you make the matches longer. in...

I said it when tournaments first started using hawkeye, shotspot etc...and I'll say it again...the programs attempt to simulate the ball's landing by tracking it through the air, so it is clearly going to make mistakes. ie. picture this. federer standing at the net on one of the singles lines...

Berdych is a very good player, but Nadal's drive to win will get him over the line, despite having a fair bit of matchplay over the last few days.

she used to be comparable in size to many of the other girls but her father (also her coach) has encouraged her to put on weight to increase power to her groundstrokes. im pretty sure thats right...i read it in an article somewhere, even though it doesn't seem to be supported by...

Pacific O dampener. Lovely. Worst would be the little rocks that Luxilon used to give away for free...urgh.

I'll ditto the comments about Slazenger in Australia being wonderful, but I'll also toss in Head, because I've been playing badge with them on grass and they seem to play really nicely; consistant pace throughout an afternoon of matchplay, without a noticeable change from when they're new balls...

haha i think he means from the tip of his thumb to the tip of his little finger when fully stretched...

If it goes 5 sets then Hewitt will win...he is the ultimate fighter and competitor who never gives in, while I still have questions over Djokovic's fitness...he struggled in the last few sets of his FO semi against Nadal. He loses his edge over time, while Hewitt gets even better.

the yonex is best looking

^ In terms of feng shui and placement of the dampener, a guy from my club uses 4 dampeners on a massive OS prince frame (not exactly sure of the model, its pretty old though), with a worm dampener at 12 & 6 o'clock and 2 little head dampeners at 3 & 9 o'clock. looks ridiculous, but its legal...

Australian Open '08..Djokovic

Hewitt, if he serves like he has been in the early rounds. actually, Hewitt even if he doesnt serve that well.

Djokovic - yes Murray - yes Youzhny - no Davydenko - no Robredo - no Gonzalez - no Blake - no Canas - no Berdych - yes Gasquet - no Bagdatis - no Haas - hell no Ljubicic - no

They're heaps good ideas thanks everyone.....but we got a group together and we decided to go as the 'Tour de France'......we're all dressing up in cycling gear etc so should be fun....don't know about the bike pants lol.....lucky I play enough tennis to be in good shape but some of the other...

If they brought 5 setters into the GS for women it would be an absolute joke. At the moment, the first few rounds are full of 6-0 6-1 scorelines and the like; there is very rarely an even contest before about the quarter/semi final stage. Even last night, Sharapova was up 6-1 4-0 when I stopped...

Its just interesting that all the Nadal-haters and Fed-fans say that Nadal can only play on clay....well, he isn't going to win Wimbledon (I'm a Nadal fan, but I know that Fed has got it won, barring injury), but it shows the threat he is going to be on hardcourt as well. I mean, if he has...

Thanks guys....keep them coming because I havent decided yet.

I really think Hewitt, and if Fed slips up somewhere then I'm backing Hewitt for the tourney.

Hi guys, I'm going to a party where everyone must dress as something/someone etc that starts with the letter T. Any word or name is acceptable, as long as the "t-word" IS NOT 'THE'. ie...u can't go as THE red hot chili peppers etc because they technically start with R, as the prefix...

Good stuff boys.

The clay court and hardcourt seasons dominate the season...hardcourts for the Aussie summer, then onto clay for a few months, then a massive hardcourt season after wimbledon....just before the indoors and end of season masters. You could lose a few on clay, hard etc to make the grass season 2-3...

bout imagine if Nadal played right handed....It would be weird and I don't think he'd be as effective....maybe its just me but it would seem to normal...and he plays so differently to other tour players...

Brazil, but the Netherlands or Argentina could go close.

We should try to preserve some of the old methods of the game if they are of similar effectiveness to the new methods.

Its a bad record, but its not overly important. BTW, Defcon...is "0-0 is a LOT better than 0-8"....I'm sure if someone offered you Blake's opportunity to play 8 matches on the ATP tour and told you that you were going to lose all 8 in a tough 5setter, you would accept it lol.
