Monaco sleep very well tonight after Davy puts him through the wringer...

 

[TheMusicLover]

HEAPS of cash on this one for Denko to win. And if he doesn't, well it was a nice jinx-bet. :twisted:

 

[West Coast Ace]

They better be getting ready. Zvonereva is ripping Dulko - they might be on pretty soon...

 

[West Coast Ace]

And Doug Adler, who's doing the Zvonereva match with Jeff Tarango on the DirecTV Mix, picked Davy to win the whole tournament...

Monaco came back from 2 down to win it in 5 vs. Llodra, to whom he had lost in straights at Lyon (HC) last year ....... IOW, he's improved his mentality since then

The way Davy's been playing plus his relatively easy matches at AO so far, I'd be naive to think Pico will win ...... but I can dream, can't I?

Pico in 5!

LOL ... well, as long as you dont bet more than you can afford to lose!

 

[mengpower]

Davai Kolya!!

 

[bodave2]

Koja for the win

 

[West Coast Ace]

Monaco came back from 2 down to win it in 5 vs. Llodra,

I respect Monaco and his game - but Llodra is about 62 yrs old...

And to quote Mr. T, Clubber Lange, from Rocky 3, "What do you see in Juan Monaco's future?" "Pain!"

lol ..... All I know is that if Monaco comes to net as much as he should, he'll at least lose in style!

I'm still worried!! But luckily it is a cool day in Melbourne today according to
the temperature displayed on their home page 17C so Kolya would like that.

Very cool today. The women wore their warm up jackets during warmup - haven't seen that in Australia in a while.

And your avatar cracks me up. Where did you get it? Did he pose for you? Is Davy going into rapping after tennis?

hehehe...I think I got that from an article on him in the atp website a few months back. It just shows a different Davy to the one we see all the time.
This Davy is a fun Davy and not the serious one we see on court

 

[Halba]

joke match up. davy will eat him up.

And I think Davy loves going to clubs :twisted: So maybe he does his rap dancing there

Here from his presser:

Q. Are you a vodka drinker?

NIKOLAY DAVYDENKO: Yes.


Q. Is that where you get your strength from?

NIKOLAY DAVYDENKO: No, I don't drink really. I don't drink so much because, you see, I'm skinny. I mix only. Sometimes I drink clear vodka, sometimes mixed with Red Bull. Little bit get power in night club or disco.

Because if I drink only vodka I go sleep straight. That's what's something change.

 

[mengpower]

groan....wish that ladies match would hurry up and finish!! the temperature gone up 2 degrees already!!

 

[Love Game]

They better be getting ready. Zvonereva is ripping Dulko - they might be on pretty soon...

Not quite so fast, Ace Dear ...... Remember what Gisela did to Ana after being down a set to her? Well it looks as tho she's starting to fight. After being breadsticked in the first, she's now leading (on serve) 5-4 in the second!

 

[West Coast Ace]

NIKOLAY DAVYDENKO: No, I don't drink really. I don't drink so much because, you see, I'm skinny. I mix only. Sometimes I drink clear vodka, sometimes mixed with Red Bull.

My drink of choice too. He and I are practically brothers!

Monaco fans: is he really 6'1" as listed in the ATP Media guide? He looks shorter and stockier. I would have guessed 5'11" - but have never been close up at the practice courts.

More fun facts from the 2010 media guide:

Mother is an architect.
Has one sister AND one brother!
Favorite actors: DeNiro and Pacino.

not to scare you too much, but Dulko's 3-setter with Ivanovic took 162 minutes!

looking promising...61 65 at the moment. Can we sound the end gong just about ......now

 

[mengpower]

Yayay...it is finally over !!! Thank goodness it didn't stretch to 3 sets and that would make me tear my hair out and go crazy:twisted:

Temperature at 19C so hopefully it stays like that during Kolya's match...fingers and toes crossed. Getting very worried now...groan

Yes ... It's Vera (another Russian) to the rescue!

Why worried? What's up with the temperature?

 

[mengpower]

Worried that Kolya may lose. And it would be good if the temperature stays cool as Kolya run out of gas in extreme hot weather conditions

oh. didnt know that. so how hot does it have to get before that point? Looks cloudy so far.

 

[mengpower]

Wouldn't want it to reach 30C!!

I thought they would have a stream at fromsport.com but it isn't there.
Anyone have a stream for this match? Please

 

[Love Game]

Arghhhhh ... the pain ... Pico in pain, first serve broken 0-2

 

[mengpower]

Love Game, would you have a stream to the match? It is not on Fromsport.com.

And it's 19 now? I think Kolya's safe!

There are two vshare links available @ http://www.livescorehunter.com/Livescores/Livescore-Tennis.html but the one I chose is buffering quite a bit, so I'm gonna try either atdhe.net or channelsurfing.net

Juan looking good, but playing badly ... lost serve again, now down 0-4

Davy just getting warmed up

 

[mengpower]

Davy up 4 0 at the moment. And that link at fromsport isn't showing anything...grrrr

 

[malakas]

[Halba]

denko 5-0. serving like a demon. he is in superb form

meanwhile fed is making UE's against montanes.

 

[skip1969]

davy up big . . . but then, monaco doesn't really wake up until he's lost a set or two. unless he's playing gulbis.

 

[jjermann]

monaco playing really bad davydenko strokes are not that good outdoors

pathetic that they have 30th seeded who is total hardcourt mug

 

[jazzyfunkybluesy]

Man Davydenko is brutal. He isnt afraid or unable to administer beatdown after beatdown. I really like his work ethic.

 

[West Coast Ace]

And to quote Mr. T, Clubber Lange, from Rocky 3, "What do you see in Juan Monaco's future?" "Pain!"

Prediction looking pretty solid....

 

[West Coast Ace]

Monaco has game. Davy is just an animal right now...
