It's easy to appear classy when you're winning so much. When things haven't been going his way, he's shown he's just as arrogant and petty as anyone else.

The last 2yrs whilst he has been chasing the tails of Nadal/Djokovic he has had his small moments as any overpaid talented sportsman used to winning BUT in his case an exception to the rule can be given as how he handles himself 99% of the time is to be admired.

Yeah sure we've seen him lose it, but not anywhere near like Roddick, Djokovic or Safin have in the past.

The thing that sticks out about Serena is usually duct taped quite firmly.

Not really. He's pretty gracious in defeat. He's a bloody purist, even waits for his opponent before leaving the court. Not many players are humble enough to do that these days.

He has been known to lose his cool though.

Bump for almighty roar_brisbane.

I've added this thread to the index.

So Nadal has pulled out...that'll be expensive for the organisers.

Tomic currently leading Haas.

I'm sure he's pulled out many times before and still had to pay alimony of some sort.

What? it hasnt even fucking started yet here ffs.

Possible the start of a major shift in the tennis world with Federer coming towards the end of his career and Nadal's, well no one really knows where his is at at the moment. 2nd straight grand slam he's pulled out off. Means he will now drop out of the top 4 for the first time in 7 years which means he will no longer have the guarantee of avoiding Djokovic, Murray and Federer until the SF at grand slams.

You read that off the roar.

Don't read the Roar. Just got the Nadal top 4 stuff from Fox Sports

oh:)

Gajdosova eases past world #16 Vinci in the second set to make it 4-6, 6-1 on channel 7.

Can't believe they only show it on 7 two up here.

What's the disadvantage of it being shown on 7TWO?

That I have to go and watch it in my kitchen instead of my bedroom. :lol:

DTV set-top box: $25 ;)

I've been meaning to get a set-top box for close to two years.

Jarmila Gajdosova (183) beat Roberta Vinci (16) in 3. Convincing final 2 sets. First match of the season but fair effort given the former hasn't played in 4 months.

Seeing Tsonga vs Verdacso tonight at the Hopman Cup.

Ivanovic. =p~

Up 4-0. :d

Ivanovic or Lisicki ? spoilt for choice here

Ana wins.

Ana:P

Hewitt is on. LEGEND.

Said no one, ever. Has improved in recent years, but to me he'll always be the same old arrogant twat.
