The all-things-tennis thread.

Kokkinakis beats the number 11 seed 5-7 6-0 1-6 7-6 8-6, saved four match points in the fourth set and six break points in the fifth set tiebreaker.

AND OF COURSE I WASN'T FUCKING WATCHING IT.

Gulbis is such a potato. Pushing on his MPs.

Good Tennis last night. Got to see a bit of Bouchard, Federer, Maria, Kokk and Kyrigos.

So glad this year I can watch though ESPN this year. NO BRUCE and not only showing Aussie matches for the first two days.

[cobl04]

Nadal somehow manages to win, Groth knocks off Kokkinakis and Tomic wins through after two tiebreakers. Great night of tennis AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF IT

[bono_man2002]

Unlucky for Wozzi to draw Azarenka this early...but a good win for Azarenka in any case.

Hewitt going to 5 as per usual.

[Vlad n U 2]

I just hope somebody beats him eventually so we don't have to hear about how much of a fighter/battler he is every half an hour.

[bono_man2002]

I've been lucky so far this year and have not heard Bruce/Jim/Todd/Sam/Hamish/Jim at all this year so far.

Thanks ESPN 3

Typical Lleyton.

Pretty sweet night of sport. Sixers were all at sea vs the Thunder and Jordan Silk dragged them home (I actually went shopping cos it looked like it was gonna be a boring ending). Lalor had 4/6 off three and went for 23 in his last over. Aussies beat China 2-0 with Cahill scoring twice and Stosur is out.

[Vlad n U 2]

I have completely forgotten about the Asian Cup.

[intedomine]

What's wrong with Stosur? I've always found her pretty respectable as far as Aussie sports stars go. Not offensive at all,

I've actually taken this year's Open "off" to focus on following the Asian Cup. I've headed to 7 matches, with the Final the last match on my schedule.

Must be the first time that I haven't attended an Aus Open in over a decade. Feels kind of weird cause I usually immerse myself in it. Certainly keeping as close an eye as possible on it though,

I don't blame you, we're blessed with sporting events this January/February this year.

[bono_man2002]

Saw some great matches today on RLA. Bouchard, Sharapova and Nadal (first two sets) and the last set an a half of a juniors game that was pretty closely contested.

[bono_man2002]

First Aussie in the last 8 of the Aus Open since '05. And it's not Tomic

[cobl04]

Kyrgios out. Don't get the hatred for Murray. He played very well tonight.

[Vlad n U 2]

I like Murray more and more these days. Most notably his personality.

[bono_212]

All of these upsets are almost making me want to watch the rest of this.

[mikal]

I think the upsets might be good for Tennis too. As big of a tennis guy that I am, I even get sick of watching the same players make the finals every time. Time for some fresh blood!

[bono_212]

Me being me, I have decided that Kei Nishikori is my guy. Do I have to sign somewhere to make this official?
