Young Barty has a big task here v Cibulkove seed (15), good start winning game one

But of course we won't see the young super star as their showing Ebden try and win a third set, Barty will be far a better player than Ebden

Still, GO MATTY!

Young and impressive Ash Barty wins the first set 6-3 against the 15th seed

reality might be seeting in the second set. I still hope she can win, the onyl Australian i really go for. If not still a good performance.

Can't say the same for the second set :-[

[tbagrocks]

She's got some maturing to do, mentally failing today? Maybe just not fit enough so her mind is hindered, still, great showing from Ashley

[PowerBug]

Haven't been on all day coz i was watching the tennis. Having an hour off (still got the Radio on though) then gonna head back to the TV for the night. :D


My predictions for the tournament:

Mens: David Ferrer (My player for the year, last year it was Murray, now it's Ferrer's turn to win a Grand Slam)
Women's: Julia Goerges (Got through in 3 sets, onya girl!) Nah seriously Serena Williams will be unstoppable.

My other girl Hantuchova is also playing a 3 setter today, 6-1, 1-6 and it's 1-2 on serve in teh third :)

Serena Williams should start playing mens tennis.. she might have a challenge

[tbagrocks]

If Serena won't subject to a gender test then i'll have Azarenka thanks

[Nige]

Serena Williams should start playing mens tennis.. she might have a challenge

I second this notion.

Also, get around Johnny Millman!

[tbagrocks]

Lol are you people seriois? Serena wouldn't be capable of beating the top 100 men what the frog are you on :o

Martina Hingis was a far, far beter tennis player than Serena Williams will ever dream of being

I'm 6'3 and a strong black lass I should be able to blast anyone else off the court? Very lady like!

She has some ability but imo she will always suck, maybe i'm to much of a Hingis fan sure, but I want to see good tennis, not some (supposed) woman capable of challanging Arnie in an arm wrestle

[Bill Manspeaker]

so she could challenge Arnie in an arm wrestle but she couldn't challenge a male tennis player? :P

Hewy looking good to take the second set

[tbagrocks]

Something likme that, though it makes Martina more impresseve imo

Lleyton is in for the fight of his (since he became old and got back into it) life

[Bill Manspeaker]

as i say that Tipsarevic breaks back 5 all... now 6-5 Tipsarevic

[Bill Manspeaker]

aaaand second set goes to Tipsarevic

and tbag i'm with you, Hingis was my favourite female tennis player, but both in their prime i'd probably back Serena. but i don't know jack shower about tennis :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

get stoned and just watch the ball boys/girls. so freakin organized, for some reason they remind me of ants
