AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2012 - Discussion thread.

[Telepatic]

At least he did better than Djokovic in the final set. Djokovic won a total of 3 points against this guy in the final set at Swiss Indoors....

I dunno about what are you talking bullzilla.

Don't worry Bullzie, that was indoors.

Want me to refresh your memory what happened in the last outdoor slam Novak played

Watching Sharapova is like watching planet of apes. She takes up so much of the court :shock:

It will be a highly entertaining affair. Hewitt and Djokovic are the same player but from different eras.

browsing ATP tour for the newest vids about this years aussie open and found this: This guys accent at 1:04 is absolutely hilarious. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XCuHjYd000&feature=g-u-u&context=G2a5a78eFUAAAAAAAMAA

I Hope nadal does not win another slam by luck (by facing murray in final)

USO 2010 ..RG 2011

LOL Nadal faced Djok in the 2010 US Open final. Nadal leads Djok 5-2 in slam h2h and 16-13 overall. Djok had one good year, that is all. And even last year, Nadal breadsticked Djok at Wimbledon.

You can not be serious ... you have dusted by djokovic many times in single year yet you have dare to speak ib favor of rafa against nole!!

nadal is thankful to fed who beats him in sf of RG 2011 otherwise everyone knows!!

Dusted? A 3rd set tie-breaker at Miami? A tight 4-setter at Wimbledon in which Nadal breadsticked Djok and traded breaks in the 4th set? If that's a dusting then Nadal has dusted Djok 16 times :lol:

Dusted in straight sets at Madrid & Rome ....ohh ..how can that is possible afterall he is the king of clay !!

Tight 4-setter ....was it really tight ??

first 2 sets was like wind and same for USO..u r really being ignoran..

16 .that's true but keep watching nole is not far behind ... he will kick his a** many more times


Rafa legacy -Sponsored by History Channel!!

 

[Leelord337]

djokovic is looking scary good at the moment. I think...milos raonic would have caused more problems for djokovic than hewitt is. to me this matchup looks like a 4.0 vs a 5.0

 

[nadalwon2012]

If djokovic serves like this against Nadal, Nadal will break him 10 times. Djokovic still hasn't recovered from last year, by the looks of it.

That might not be enough, since Djokovic broke Nadal 12 times last time they played. lol

 

[nadalwon2012]

Nadal is serving better now than he was at the US, so I'll take 10 breaks for a win, easy.

 

[sdont]

How nice of Nole to let Hewitt have a set in front of his home crowd.

 

[nadalwon2012]

Bye Bye Djoko, after this pathetic performance, enough to beat a retiree but no more slams for you.

 

[cc0509]

Yeah, right! :roll:

He was throwing Hewitt a bone so the spectators would at least get some of their money's worth, otherwise Djokovic would have obliterated Hewitt in three easy straights.

 

[NadalAgassi]

While the comment you were replying to was of course ridiculous, I think your statement here is also off base. I highly doubt in a slam Djokovic would ever tank or purposely lose a set, especialy to a former #1 playing in front of his rowdy home crowd. He would not purposely choose to complicate things any, even if he did feel 100% sure of winning.

 

[Breaker]

Nope, Novak's done - accept it. Also your post is ridiculous.

I didn't say he tanked anything, he just took his foot off the gas a little maybe out of respect for Hewitt and the home crowd.

 

[All-rounder]

Lool No, Hewitt broke him twice in the 3rd. It would be understandable if he only allowed one break of serve.

The end result is what matters unfortunately. Nobody cares about the scoreline. It's about who's lifting the trophy.

 

[cc0509]

Yeah, he is done toying with old injured players. Now, he will start to get serious. You think Djokovic had to play his best level to beat Hewitt, a guy who is 30 and has had 40 surgeries in the past 5 years? :shock:

 

[Mike Sams]

Lool No, Hewitt broke him twice in the 3rd. It would be understandable if he only allowed one break of serve.

Djokovic was complacent and Hewitt showed why he was a former #1 and 2-time Slam champion, urged on by the great Aussie crowd.

 

[cc0509]

To me he was not playing his best and did not have to in order to beat Hewitt.

 

[batz]

Rusty owned Noel - it just wasn't reflected in the scoreline. Noel is obviously in decline - he'll be lucky to get another 6 slams IMO.

Novak's done, Muzza to win slam in weak era.

 

[All-rounder]

To me he was not playing his best and did not have to in order to beat Hewitt.

Yet he had to up his game to save 3 SP's. Right.... :roll:

Oh please! Hewitt was a great player in his day and he still is a smart player who gives it all he has got, but if you think Djokovic playing at his absolute best would allow a way past prime and constantly injured Hewitt to win a set, you are dreaming.

 

[Russeljones]

We just don't care for these women right now. Bring on Fed - Del Potro!

 

[devila]

sadly, del po's stiff as cardboard. he's not moving to net and can't serve like 2 years ago. another gift on a platter to federina. federer bullcraps about del po possibly reaching number 1 in 2010. idiot.

 

[nadalwon2012]

I hope Sharapova makes the AO final and loses

 

[jaggy]

Well the top 4 got the votes for a reason

 

[MG1]

Even Murray have more vote than Nadal ...shame !!

*watching the sharapova/kvitova match* Fowler commented, "This Just in: a Bizarre story including a fast rising tennis star?" What is Fowler talking about?

Update: OH, its Bernard Tomic: He's in a standoff with australian police because he sped away from the cops in his bmw

I just saw that too. He claims he was/is being harassed by the police...and that he's locked himself inside the house...:-?
