Official TOTA Australian Open Tennis
Okay kiddies,
So who the hell here is a madd tennis fan like myself ?
The Australian Open began yesturday on Monday and looks like this could be another all-Russian final. (sarcastic)
Myself, I am disappointed that my FAVOURITE women's tennis player Justine Henin-Hardenne is not in this Grand Slam because of knee problems
But my 2nd favourite player Maria Sharapova is in, and currently watching her right now play against Lindsay Lee-Waters... and she's kicking ass! Slow start, but she's just hauling ass all over this 2nd set!
Her power is just shinning through! Thank god tennis coverage is BACK in Canada again... the Australian Open is always my favourite Grand Slam!!!
On the mens side, I am of course cheering for Andre Agassi or Roddick... I go back and forth between these 2 guys...
I just hope Federer doesn't take this Slam (not sure how much hope of that their is) or I'd be nice to see Hewitt take this one for his country!
So TOTA tennis fans out there, whut are your thoughts so far on how shit's progressing ? Who are your favs for this grand slam ?

Love the tennis!! Used to play a lot in highschool (4 years, #1 for a bit, captain senior year).
I really don't watch men's tennis anymore, i prefer the women's game. Jem-Hadar, you and I have the same two favorite players Sharapova and Henin-Hardenne! But I favor sharapova
EDIT: Henin-Hardenne does have a sweeeeet backhand tho!

Maria Sharapova just defeated Lindsay Lee-Waters in 1h47mins 4-6, 6-0, 6-3
It was hard earned too... Lindsay put up some fantastic resistance, esp. at the end and Sharapova was fighting for those match points!

OMG
Justine's one-handed backhand is the MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE
Watching that girl's backhand is trully an experience. She has so much fuckin power in it its unbelieveable.
Her backhand is actually what made her my favourite female tennis player in the first place... its so smooth... and the angles she can get off it... i love seeing her stuff oponents with that killer backhand! Her forehand has become pretty strong too in 2004... its too bad she had to sit this open out... she took it last year

Just replace Roddick's name with EITHER of the damned Williams' sisters names (ESPECIALLY Serena... god do i EVER hate her!!!!!!)
Those two women are so annoying to watch... ugh! Just talking about them puts in me in a negative mood!!
Hmmmm... Agassi vs. Schuettler... should I stay up till 2am to watch this or just pass out now oh the choices.................
