Anyone following the Australian Open?

My favorite man to win is gone! James Blake lost.
My second choice is Andy Roddick. He's currently down a set to Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus.
Several of my other favorites are out too. I love watching Tim Henman play and he was out in the first round. I love watching Hewitt too. And my most current favorite eye candy - Rafael Nadal - didn't play!!

My favorite woman is still in - Lindsay Davenport. I want to see her win one more!!
I also like to watch Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin-Hardenne play. And I'm also really enjoying Martina Hingis' entrance back onto the courts!

watching andy roddick--hes been my favorite since he st arted!

Roddick is one of my favorites indeed. I was just hoping to see Blake pull out his first major this time around, especially after the way his last one went!

are you still up watching the roddick match?

 

[LadyyRedd]

Yep. Roddick needs to step his level of play up a bit!

i was thinking the same thing...there were some shots that seemed he was just giving them away!

but now, im going to go lay down and watch--hopefully it goes to the next set!!

 

[LadyyRedd]

Me too - signing offline, but watching in bed.
Here's hoping for a 5 setter!

andy had me yelling at the tv!!!! i dont know what has been going on with him lately-but he hasnt been playing too good!

 

[LadyyRedd]

I know, me too!!!! I mean, Baghdatis did play well, but Roddick also played not so well!
I don't even know who to root for on the men's side anymore. I like Federer well enough (meaning I don't dislike him), but I just can't bring myself to root for him.

i cant stand federer!!! after last nights match..i dont even want to watch anymore

 

[LadyyRedd]

I think I'm gonna root for Hrbaty.....he's got guts for wearing that shirt.

[Blueeyes101817]

you know your post just made me turn to epsn2 so i could see what shirt he was wearing..and they havent showed him yet...so im waiting because now im very curious!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

and of course now they arent showing that match--i always miss things haha

 

[LadyyRedd]

It's the pink and black one that he's been wearing all tournament. I think he wore it in the US Open too. It's got the big circle cut outs on the back.

I found a picture of it.

How did I miss this thread!!!!
My guy Tommy Haas is playing right now and he is down 4-6, 0-6 but up 5-2 in the third...I know he can beat Federer, he did last week!

Nice too see you guys, it's been awhile since the US Open thread!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

dyan--how did that match go?

 

[lewdyan1]

It is a great match. Tommy finally lost in the fifth set. Federer has never played a fifth set here, so I am proud that Haas gave him a run for his money! It's on ESPN2 now, in the third set.

 

[LadyyRedd]

Yay, dyan made it! I was waiting for you to show up here!

OMG - that Federer/Haas match will probably be THE match of the year for quite a while! You could really see Federer starting to break a sweat!

Man, now I really don't know who to root for. Hrbaty is out. If Haas would've beat Fed, I would've been rooting for him.

Geez...now Lindsay is out too!!!
