Kyrgios made it through

Storm Sanders was up 4 games to 2 in the final set before going down, but just to point out, her coach is Nicole Pratt, and Nicole Pratt is expecting twins...

Nicole Pratt is going to have kids?

^ Do not want!

In other news, Dancevic and a ball boy fainted in the mid 40 degree heat

EDIT - oh shit, grandstand digital what are you doing to me?

Bosnian Australian Marinko Matosevic has the unenviable record of not winning a single grand slam match in his career to date

0 wins - 12 losses

Hopefully Hewitt can get back into this.

Have to say Matosevic has the potential to be quite a good player but mentally he's just all over the place.


Hewitt's recent record in 5 sets has been really bad. No comeback on the cards.

Matosevic with an undiplomatic press conference after going down in 4 hours and five gruelling sets

He could face censure

Hewitt vs Seppi

2 baseline rally specialists

Expect a 4 hour + match one would assume?

Drew Morphett just labelled James duckworth the Mitchell Johnson of men's tennis

Too bad Mitchell Johnson is getting dismantled by Roger Federer today

And for the love of Odin can Channel 7 PLEASE stop showing close-ups of Williams' gargantuan arse? It's bad enough that it takes up half the court from a landscape shot, we don't need to see it up close.

Yeh, and its termed 'entertainment' to watch a 17 year old girl get crushed like an insignificant insect by the man

He should take on someone his own size- Caster Semenya!

Absolutely hate him as commentator, he speaks as though sport has some kind of superstitious force behind it. Just call the effing game.

Lose is such a harsh word, how about the diplomatic term 'didnt win?'

Goodness knows kevin rudd used that in his concession speech- the loser :lol:

Anyway there's a book out there released recently called Barracuda by Christos Tsiolkas (his follow up to The Slap), it goes into uncharted (or even dark) territory to what happens to athletes when they lose and are forgotten about. Especially to those with a 'win at all costs' mentality

11:47pm-4:33am that match ran. Still not as good as Isner v Mahut.
