Vaidisova is the real deal....you could just tell she's not quite ready:
some amazing shot-making, then terrible lapses of concentration = 17 yo.
I still cant believe shes only 17:eek: :nervous:
Clijsters-Sharapova wasnt as good as i had hoped....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now we get to his majesty, ROGER.
:eyes::eyes:WOW:eyes::eyes:
What else can u possibly say about this ing guy??!?!!?
I really was worried about Roddick heading in. Damn he was playing SO well...then ROGER was next in line :eyespop:
If anyone has the chance, WATCH THE REPLAY of the match, ESPECIALLY the 2nd and 3rd sets. LMFAO at the RIDICULOUS shots he was making....
People, i can go on for 18 consecutive pages about how great he is, and
how many unbelievable shots that ONLY HE can make.... but i wont.
Cause everybody already knows. Theres nothing more anyone can say, cause everything's been said a million times.
All we CAN do is watch in AWE:eek::eek::eek:
Flat out, I've always been a sports fanatic/junkie. ROGER has surpassed Michael Jordan as my favourite athlete EVER.:eek: |

Yeah, Vaidisova is known for her "spazzes" or freak outs on court. Its disappointing to watch actually, esp from her, bc I see all the potential in her. I hope she gets a hold of her self in that regard very soon. Makes her harder to respect as the incredible athlete she already is, and is going to be come even more so.
At being only 17, totally flash backs to watch Sharapova coming up 2-3 years ago! :eyes:

Hahah, Vrk, I have that match on TAPE baby!!! ! Drove home at 3pm, poped a tape in, and then drove back to work! God, watched most of it when I got home! BLOODY INSANE! And a ing bagel set in a SEMI! OMG WOW! Unbelievable. He destroyed Roddick in that 2nd set.
That "running/jumping/backhand" shot, whatever you wanna call it, the one I've seen him do like 2 or 3 other times... INSANITY that it whent in... and it OFTEN goes in.
THey even said its like "THE shot" he's known for. Its a TOTALLY Federer only shot! ing impressive man!
He's got this in the bag! I wanna see him destroy Gonzales... sucks I'm gonna miss it bc im away at the cottage! :( :sadgreen: :sadgreen: |

SUPERman i tell ya:eyes:
10 Gonzalez - 12 Haas: 6-1 6-3 6-1
As of this moment, Gonzalez is the 2nd best player in the world.
Killed #5 Blake, #2 Nadal, and #12 Hass all in straights the last 3 matches.
This will be a really final.
Predictions:
Federer - Gonzalez: Federer in 4
Sharapova - Serena: Serena in 3 |

Both finals are going to be INCREDIBLE.
What a ing tournament this year turned out to be! So many shocks and surprises!
One of the best Aussie Opens I've seen to date. the 2nd week has been full of fantastic matchups
But for me, nothing will top the 2004 (I think it was, or 2003 if it wasnt 2004) Australian Open where ing Agassi (my fav men's player BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS!!!!) took the title, beating the German Rainer Schutler... ing wow. And same one where Roddick had that battle royal w/ Nalbandian for the match I think. Since they dont play tiebreaks at the AO in the final sets, a player must win by 2... I think the damn score was like 17-15 or something RIDICULOUS like that! What a set that was to see!
Oh yeah... and my girl Justine Henin-Hardenne took the title that year too! ;) :D
(of course) heheh |

Actually, this reminds me,
Which sport, do you think, do you have to be in the "best shape" for in order to play well.
From the likes of tennis, basketball, hockey, football, soccer, baseball .
I think tennis get under-recognized for the shape you have to be in order to compete. Its extremely intense and difficult.
Going from stand still to BURST into rapid motion non stop anywhere from 30 seconds to over a minute or longer is VERY difficult and hard to maintain... and then you get a quick break again, what 10-20 seconds, till the person serves again and its done all over again.
And often in 30-40 temperatures... and almost always for at least an hour or an hour and a half till, with the men's in grand slams, usually over 3 hours.
Anyone who doesnt think you need to maintain yourself in incredible shape is kidding themselves. And when players let it go, even a little, you really notice how it affects their game... they simply cant keep competing for the lengthy points. I saw this with rodick around the beginning to middle especially of 2006. And you see it all the time with younger players or those who arent top ranked. Many cant afford to have a personal trainer or someone to work with, and it shows in their fitness. Also, they dont really often realize and have it hit home, until they've played a player like Fed what the difference of truly being in incredible shape means to their game and their ability to stay in points.
(I must say though, Serena has done incredibly well (far better than i (and everyone!) would have ever thought) for the shape shes in. I guess with Serena, to a certain extent, even when shes not in top shape, she's still near as well off as those who are in excellent form. |
