Tennis [merged]

Tomic has the talent to have won easily last night but his poor attitude caused his own demise.

Have never questioned Tomic's talent. Has the talent but he needs more that that IMO

I question his mental application, his want to be successful, his willingness to work and the way he plays. He is constantly flat footed, unwilling to chase down balls, and his game is as I said one dimensional.

His talent is not the issue what is between his ears is. That and his old man who is in his ear

Most definitely far from a tennis fan, but they were talking about the Aussies getting smashed on the radio (MMM) this morning and yesterday morning. I can't see if it has been mentioned here recently or not, but they were saying a big problem at the moment when it comes to Wimbledon for example, is that our kids aren't playing on grass courts any more. All the new courts going up in schools to training complexes are all synthetic or clay.

Nice theory, but doesn't seem to affect those that grow up on clay in Europe or hardcourts in the States.

And the 'losing best athletes to footy codes' is another bullcrap theory.

Stosur is another flake

how the hell can you go from
winning a second set 6-0
then lose the match.

pfft number 5 in the world

Careful man, you'll be set upon for chopping down tall poppies for raising any legitimate criticism of that perennial choker by a mass of blinded fools that have clearly been smoking too many said poppies

This is going to be her outfit for the Aussie Open

That is so so true

Code Violation, Flake Head

Big upset last night with Nadal losing. This could help Andy Murray finally win his home slam.

Why? Reaching a critical mass in terms of elite junior numbers gives a sport more of a chance to find stars. It's why all of the footy codes pour $$$ into junior development and attracting the best junior athletes.

Are Djokovic and Federer in Murray's way before the final?

if applicable it would only be for mens tennis, not womens.

Federer now stands in the way of Murray winning his home slam in the final on Sunday.

[one-eyed]

Poor Andy Murray still can't get over the line and win a grand slam title. Federer did it easy after the rain delay.

As WAT would say Andy Murray is mentally weak 

Will never win a Grand Slam IMHO

[gerkin greg]

Stosur won one so he must be a chance

[Francois Jackson]

a good effort by Tim Henman

sadly wrong era for Henman, will never win a slam
