Anyone been watching??? Tennis is something I can literally watch all day and not be sick of. I don't give Tomic much chance tonight, but good on him for getting where he has as such a young guy. He could be a brilliant player by the looks.

Tennis, like golf, is something I find incredibly tedious and boring to watch. However, I really enjoy playing it myself. I can occasionally be drawn into a really big game if it happens to be on. Best of luck to the young Aussie. He's put in a great effort so far.

I'm with you... I enjoy a good womens game of tennis if it does not involve one of the williams sisters... even then I can only last 20 minutes or so... :)

I have only seen what has been on news and sports shows.

Couldnt stand Tomik but watching his interviews and his on court behaviour, he has gone up a cog or 2. He seems to be humbled by his success this year rather than feel it is his god given right to be there (like Brad Hodge and the test team)

good on him. Hope Novak kicks his arse tho :D

I would love to tape my grand father having a rant when ever he sees either of them. 90 year olds aren't known for their tolerance, and the spray he gives them makes even me cringe. Problem is, I find my self nodding when he is ranting. :nod: makes me racist by association.

I put tennis right up there with nascaw! :eyepop: :D

Oh come on! At least it's a proper sport :D


Bernie did pretty well I thought. Didn't think he'd win it, but put up a decent fight. Im sure playing someone like Novak at a quarter final will be a good experience for him, and can only help with his growth as a player.
