the new surface of the aussie open should help out the players a lot there!
it wont reflect off as much heat as the rebound ace did (the old aussie open hardcourt surface)
i cant remember teh exact stat, but its something like 10oC HOTTER right on court where the players are right on the surface compared to the general air temperature! NUTS!!!
esp with how hot gets in aussieland in january! |

damn I'm jealous! lucky you :)
I was really hoping to make it to the French open last year but wasn't able to get any main court tickets. Not sure if I will get to go this time but I am planning to go to at least 3 or 4 tournaments this year, starting with the men next month in Rotterdam :D |

How was it? (being there in person first day, I mean)
Did you get to see Justine WIN??!
So pissed off that TSN never gave coverage to her first set and instead focused on Jankovic's... though granted Jelena's set was a nail-bitter! Holy tie-breaks in the 3rd set. Jesus... it was intense!
(but c'mon! my girl justine is no. 1 in the world and of course seeded no. 1! GIVE HER THE COVERAGE!!! :whip: :whip: )
nevertheless, fell asleep tho before got to see the end of it, as Id only managed a total of 4-5 hours sleep this entire weekend in Toronto... staying awake proved too hard.
When i did wake up again at midnight tho on teh couch, i saw that they were airing Sharapova's game... it was nice to see coverage going past 12am, when it was scheduled to end.
caught a bit of her match until, again, i feel asleep again. lol (i have higher hopes for myself tonight!) |

I knew i could count on u Jem:tongue3
Ahhhh here we are, ANOTHER beginning of a tennis season starting with the prolific Aussie Open 2008.
I truly love this tournament, and i gotta say its just BARELY ahead of the US Open as my 2nd fave major..Wimbledon of course is #1
I love the courts, i love the extreme heat, and i LOVE the fans.
Always so much emotion in any of these matches.
And the Aussies LOVE it:crazy:
I'm not gonna ramble, Roger the hero of heroes...if he loses, i'll be crushed.
But not the easiest draw....still the fave obv.
One to watch for is Murray the Scotsman. He's rehabbed his wrist and is fully healthy
AND playing well, winning in Doha.
This yr is gonna be HUGE for him i predict (barring injury).
I see him cracking the top 5, if not top 3 this yr...
Murray, Nadal, and Djokovic make for a GREAT future in men's tennis.
Time for Davydenko, Gonzalez, and Roddick (especially) to drop
This is a yr i'd LOVE to see Henin take it from the start.
I'm aching to see someone with the Grand Slam, and Henin would be a wonderfully deserving person of it.
REALLY hope she takes this tournament.
Ideal finish in 2 weeks:
