Yeah, I saw it. What actually happened? Something about one player not shaking hands.

Almagro hit it straight at Berdych sometime in the match so Berdych took it to heart and refused to shake hands... Pretty poor... I doubt Almagro was aiming to hurt him or anything it's just part of the sport.

Almagro is known on the circuit as a bit of an arsehole though :P

@Fletch - Your lucky Clijsters won ;)

Think I have 7 through. I reckon your in strife with Kvitova as captain though Fletch.
She has an easy match in the quarters, then most likey one of the screachers in the Semi. I'm happy to still have 6 players left :)

applied to be a ballkid AO2013.

3rd time lucky!!!

but honestly i think the system might be rigged in someway. i think that i am way capable enough to be a ballboy, especially having years of experience of tennis and cricket. maybe its cause i wear glasses or cause i have an allergy to nuts... but if i dont make it this final year, im not going to be very happy as i have failed at the final stage both times :(

Have you had any other ballboy experience luigi? Could help if you did it for some other smaller tournaments first ;)

I know each year they pick 2 of the ballboys from the moorilla international (1 boy and 1 girl) to do it at the australian open the following year.

lol they are hardly legit reasons. It wouldnt be that your not capable enough, its just that they're are so many kids who apply every year. they cant pick them all ;)
My mate was a ballkid on Hisense Arena last year  :P

Luigi197

had no ballkid experience, but tried out twice as mentioned,

i honestly think having glasses is a legit reason cause tennis australia may be worried about how i would look on the tv screen.... -.-
