Stosur's got through as well. She's really Australia's only hope to get past the 3rd round.

There's all this talk about our cricket side and lack of quality international talent coming through but Aussie Tennis is in far more dire need. If Tomic doesn't develop into a top player then there's really no one else on the men's side.

What happened to Gooch? He could have been decent

[gerkin greg]

Was reading somewhere that there is a few lads around Tomic's age that are potential top 30 players, but they've rubbed Tennis Australia the wrong way with poo attitudes.

Sharaova vs Georges. All that's missing is the Raspberry jelly.

Id take the Goerges. Sharapova yesterdays news although you wouldnt kick her out of bed.

Didn't he do his achilles a while back and fell off the radar?

Goerges on Duthie. Now there's a second serve!

Tennis is boring me pooless ... want the footy to start

Just got home and saw Tomic ahead 4-0 in the second set against Nadal  . Back to 5-5 now and Nadal back on top as you'd expect. With Stosur gone it'll be no more Aussies after 3 rounds which is sadly all too common these days and shows the mess Aussie Tennis is in.

[Coach]

Stosur...that was stuffing disappointing. Our players are a bunch of hacks or they just can't perform on the big stage

It's more they aren't just good enough and talented enough to match it against the top players of the world. Tomic at least is pushing Nadal even though he isn't strong enough to go with him. The scoreboard isn't showing Nadal's serve going to deuce often. Points won has been fairly even since the second set. Tomic doesn't have to guns yet to make the most of his chances yet. Hopefully that will come with more experience and physical development as he matures.

Nadal might not be having a great night with his serve.
But Tomic is really taking it to him which is great to see. Hopefully one of our tennis players can come along in the next few years for the sack of tennis australia having a poster champion they can advertise with.

[gerkin greg]

Bernie played well, would be disappointed he didn't take that second set off Rafa in the end.

Stosur has the talent to win Grand Slams and be top 2 in the world, she's just so mentally weak. Should have won the French. Massive choker.

[cub]

Stosur choked, no doubt about it. Tomic is the next great oz hope.
