Roddick Monfils will be push fest 2011 with both standing 10 feet behind the baseline, Roddick should win that IMO.

Verdasco choked 2 break/set points, wow.

Another chance, finish it off frohawk
ETA BOOM

Roddick always plays better in Australia in odd numbered years.

It just sucks that he's got Federer in the QFs. Too bad it's not Djokovic. Roddick can usually take him.

I don't know why, but I like seeing a Williams sister get punked once every so many sets.

And why is it, that every time Venus or Serena play someone that they have trouble with, they have "pains."

Hell Venus just went to the locker room. Serena is notorious for this as well. I think they sometimes get embarrassed and can't handle it.

she looked completely out of breathe...when she gets ran like that, she always fakes an injury. I'm sure you remember last year or the year before this came up and they all got pissed about it.

she should be able to get attention on the sideline but if she has to go to the locker room she should have to retire...its total bullshite.

and i can't stand either of the williams sisters. shes reaching for her leg and wincing in pain...yet she was still finishing points.

I've pulled my groin before, no way in hell i was going anywhere.

This Zahavalova chick needs to STFU. I've gotten used to the Williamses doing it, and I'm accepting of their decibel levels, but this does not need to become a trend in womens' tennis.

sharapova is the absolute worst.

oh, we'll just wrap it and it will be fine.

this turned into a joke in a hurry. venus about to break and has barely moved.

Yes. She. Is.


Venus won:

Now we can stop hearing things like, "what a courageous play, what effort, she is playing in obvious pain, what heart...." IT'S A SHAM! I also would like to point out that her screams of pain were on definite winners.

What a fraud.

No discussion about Fed almost losing last night? In his defense, Simon is a top 10-15 player when healthy, and he definitely looked healthy from what I saw of the match. And Federer had actually never beaten him before.

I don't think he is underrated. Health issues last year are the main reason why he wasn't seeded higher. Hopefully he's back in full form, he already won a tournament this year.

IWHI

I'm banking on either Andy to win, or Djok. However, Nadal or Fed will once again piss me off.

Lot of love for Simon despite the fact hes still the 3rd-4th best player out of France; not a world beater.

Hes a really solid player, but Fed shouldnt let a guy like that come back when hes up 2-0 in a major.
Its good for him to be tested early though.

Simon's not a typical 2nd round match for a #2 seed. He was ranked 7th or 8th when he started having knee problems. His game gives Federer problems also; he was actually 2-0 against Fed prior to this match.
