I doubt she will win but I am hoping Martina Hingis makes it to the quarters again at least this year.. I got to see her play 3 matches last summer in Montreal, she is a big reason I got into tennis years ago.
and I hope Federer wins.. again.
Also... looking forward to May when I will be at the French Open! :toocool: |

On the men's side, I'm hoping that Marco Baghdatis and James Blake fair well this year! These guys are two favourites of mine, love both their games. I'd kill to see Blake the Aussie Open. That'd be incredible (but unlikely). |
Baghdatis vs Federer in the final last year was great! Marco played the match of his life but Roger was on his game... as usual.
I also hope Marco does well. :) |

Along with Roger, i'm obv full-force behind my countrymen,
#4 Ivan Ljubicic (coming off win in Doha, Qatar), and #9 Mario Ancic.
Call me crazy, but 2 Croats in the top 9 with only 4.5 million population is MADNESS.
Dont think either will win, cause Roger prolly will, but I'm def worried about Nadal. |
Yah, Ancic and Ljubicic have really been head-lining the top of the Top 10 bracket in the past year and a 1/2 especially! I must say I've never really paid them much mind though wile watching, but more and more I need to start too. They're making quite the impression on the men's side. We're seeing a lot of men's players really shinning at the moment, though... OF COURSE none (ever) more than Federer.
Im very interested myself to see how Nadal fares... that's gonna be the exciting part for me (since I now NEVER AGAIN :( have the chance to see my fav men's tennis player play, Andre Agassi. :( ) ... I hope he makes it into the at least the semis, or I'm gonna be very disappointed.

Lets NOT forget about Hewitt: #19 this yr, under the radar, and HEALTHY. |
YES! To tell truth, in the past 2-3 years, I've pretty much written him off my radar PERIOD. Hasn't been poor poor, just not what I'd come to expect from Hewitt in her earlier days. He hasnt been meeting his own par, if you will. Same w/ Roddick. But I hope that's gonna stay turned around, bc he started to play impressively again with his new couch.
I also wanna see what Brad does w/ Andy Murray. His game is gonna get very fun to watch I think!

BIG help Henin-Hardenne's out, cause she IS the best player imo.
Watched the entire Sony Erikkson Cup and she was incredible. |
Ack! I wish I could have witnessed her performance. If we had STARCHOICE satellite (instead of Rogers Digital) we could order The Tennis Station and I'd be glued to it 24x7 I swear!
IMO as well (of course ;)) Henin IS the best damn women's player out there ... even MORE impressive when you consider her SMALL 5'2" (or was it 5'4"?) stature! Its not easy coming against player with massive height advantages over you in tennis.
I hope her health stays strong in 2007. Its really her only limiting factor these days. She's really learned her lesson from pushing herself too hard though. I dont expect any more large absences from her like what happen more than a year ago now.

PLEASE GOD dont let Serena make it too far, i just cant handle watching her, and then always seeing here ridiculous dad in the stands. Sickening. |
I cant handle serena either. ugh. And her Dad! Just as bad. I mean, that banana incident at the US Open was it? CMON! Total coaching from the stands, its so blatant! Not impressed.
| quote: | My pick is going to be #4 Kim Clijsters. Her last yr on tour, never won here, but always does well.
Along with her, i say Kuznetsova and Sharapova. |
Id like to see Clijsters do better in general before she quits... that's be very fitting and nice. I hope Kuznetsova does really well. And as I said, Dokic. ;)
High hopes for those two... I hope they can pull through for me... keep me on the edge of my seat the whole Open! |

You were at the women's cup in Montreal this year! :(
I hope to see the women play at the Rogers Cup in Toronto this summer. I had to miss the men's this year, which really sucked.
And you're gonna be able to check out the French Open! God that would be a dream... well... Roland Garros and Wimbledon!
I hope Martina fares well... she started so well for being away for so long. Incredible how excellent she's doing... and she's only been back a year.... yet at the same time, I cant believe she's already been back a year! The season flies! |

Yeah it's my third year at the Roger cup! The year before I saw Agassi and Nadal play in the final too. I watched quite a few matches last summer which was cool.. took the week off work.. hehe
As for the opens... definitely excited for Roland Garros! Tickets aren't even that expensive but they only go on sale in march. If I wasn't moving away I would try to go to the US open this year.
also.. Justine is 5'5 I think... but she is very lean and small compared to most other players.. her power is impressive! |
