ye i think it is pronounced Dahsha, it's more gentle in russian.
Bogans whinging that she grunts :roll: what do you expect from a russian player :-({|=

absolute fwit.

I wish they'd stop calling her that all the time though.

the voice of that chair umpire is so dreamy...

Barry White incarnate!

Oh God! Gavrilova's coach is so ugly!

Edit- it's Nicole Pratt not much to draw from there

Best part of the match

Found it annoying how they started calling Hewitt, Rusty as well. Nicknames should be used commentary. Just feels wrong and contrived.

Tomorrow will be a good day:



Have a few things to do though. :(

Its funny seeing the chair umpire on telly for this federer match, on Thursday we were sitting next to him on an outside court while he was sucking on his e-cig :lol:

Seven under fire for broadcasting Gavrilova's motivational notes

The story about that chair umpire and his voice :cool:

After watching Isner destroy Lopez I really thought he'd make his first ever quarter final.

This Zhang Shaui is a very average player.

Tomorrow will be insane:

as if Federer needed any more help, the hawk eye system is now working in his favour as well! :-k

Fed marches on. :d

King Konta

Anyway Feds has all the shots and stuff, but he'll freeze against Djokovic.

Federer v Djokovic matchup!

People complain that women's tennis is boring because serena always wins

But what about men's tennis? Since 2005, out of Federer, Djokovic, Murray or Nadal have been in all but 1 grand slam final

Nishikori vs Cilic, and people accused that match of being the worst in living memory

Fair call but at least with the males you've got that Big 5 where you know it will be a great contest and any can actually win although its generally (Djokovic, Fed & Nadal)

Also outside of that group you've had guys like Martín del Potro, Berdych & Cilic capable of winning those big matches and a stack of others who at least make these matches competitive.

You also have to note that we've had three of the greatest tennis players in history all playing in pretty much the same era. :shock:

Whereas with the women, yes Serena will go down as a great but she has had literally no rival for the last few years that seems capable of beating her.

On top of that outside of her, Sharapova and maybe Halep & Azarenka, all the other higher ranked girls have no consistency at all when it comes to the slams and half of the seeds will be gone after the first round. You just don't see that level of capitulation in mens tennis.

Regardless of that I'll still watch.

As I say that Djokovic has come out and is playing some amazing tennis against Fed. :lol:

Djokovic vs Federer



and its gone...

But seriously, Djokovic is making Federer look like Christophe Rochus out there

the thing about Feds is he should consult with Giles Simon during the tournament to see how to challenge Djokovic, there is too much hubris from Federer, believing that "if he just played his shots it will be good enough"

Simon is an unfashionable player, but he pushed Djokovic to five sets, and made Djokovic hit 100 unforced errors. This match looks like a quick kill

What a game by Fed.

theres only one guy who can seriously annoy Djokovic at his own game

The Stanimal

Farken rolled.

-PB

The third and forth sets were entertaining as hell. =d>

Whoever goes through in the other semi, I would like someone to put a stop to Novak's extremely long run at Melbourne Park...

Really enjoyed watching Djok v Fed last night. Even the Mrs, who is a self-confessed hater of Tennis, was wrapped up in it. Those guys are just miles above everyone else. IMO there's nothing better than watching Fed get close to the net.

Watching the Murray/Tomic game the other night, and comparing it to last night - it was a whole other level of competition.

What a time.

Hoping for a Raonic win tonight.

Raonic with the temper tantrum!

milos with the dud leg, at least we can look forward to Novak giving Murray a pasting in the final
