uum where do i say i was talking about you? Its not always about you WP

Ummmm did you or did you not say this:

I can't believe the dislike people have toward Hewitt

You made a board general statement about "people" disliking Hewitt. So indirectly by your sweeping generalisation you were talking about me and eveyone else who has been critical of Hewitt because last time I checked we were/are people  :rollin :lol

So being a person all I did was reply, which I am pretty sure that's what people are supposed to do on forums  ;D

All I was trying to do was point out that isn't necessarily about "disliking" him but more about wanting him going out on high which it would be after a performance like this Aust Open rather seeing him getting beaten by blokes ranked 250 in the world which has been the norm in Hewitt's case over the last couple of years due to 2 main factors: the injuries and a game style that is at times non competitive in today's tennis

Makarova just caused an upset and defeated Serena. She has caused a few upsets in her career so far. But this one opens up the womens side of the draw which makes it alot more interesting.

The Richmond boys on twitter have been getting stuck into Sharapova and her shreiking big time tonight lol. 95db! The crowd needed ear plugs.

Hewitt's game won't last long the way it's started. Djokovic has hardly missed a first serve while Hewitt can't get one.

Hewitt putting up a fight now. Won the 3rd set and is at least going toe-to-toe with Djokovic now. He still can't get his first serve in though.

Hewitt lost in four ... 1-6 3-6 6-4 3-6.

Given Djokovic was winning matches in straight sets giving away just one game per set, it was a brave effort from Lleyton. He just gave Djokovic too many second serves to look at which Novak duly punished. Just too good in the end.

Aussie Kim through to the semis

Will play Azarenka

Would have though Sharapove -v- Azarenka would be a better match up. Loudest shriek wins

And their bombs and their guns.

Hey now, hang on a minute.

My mum is as Aussie as anyone, just like the rest of her family, the Nguyens.
