Tennis 2015

[Comrade Blitz]

It was a day of high drama for the top female tennis players at the Australian Open, with eight of the top seeds losing, another vomiting on court before eventually winning, and a former champion announcing that she was pregnant.

Well done to Andy Murray - now in the Semi Finals of the Australian Open. Next up is Thomas Berdych...

Is it the same Mystery Man that's always posting Villa transfer rumours?

[OCD]

Murray's playing well at the moment. He does seem to like the Aussie open - I think the final has been Murray-Djokovic a couple of times already.

[Comrade Blitz]

Berdych was a total arse for most of that match. Good riddance - fecking automaton like Joe Coe Vitch and Raonic.

Hoping that Wawrinka upsets the cart.

Women's final will be a screamathon. Boring.

[PaulWinch again]

Murray has returned to some good form after last year's struggles, but he needs to cut out the sloppy errors.

[Jon Crofts]

So he's back to being a Brit again as opposed to a Jock for the time being.

Nah, fuck him, they can have him.

Come on Andy!

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

I'm not an expert, but it seems to me that when a rally gets going, there's only one person who's going to mess it up.

2 games up to 3-2 down and had him at 4-2 in the tie breaker.

It's like us when we play Man Utd. Mostly we're easily beat, but the few times we look like we may win, you always know we won't.

[thick_mike]

I get that feeling here too...though the game is swinging wildly from one side to the other

[PaulWinch again]

He played well for first two and a half sets but then mentally fell apart.

[TopDeck113]

The problem with individual sports is that when your mind goes you get a thrashing.

[PaulWinch again]

He needs to work with a sports psychologist, because his game is back to where it needs to be but he doesn't believe enough yet.
