Australian Summer of Tennis

[Jim05]

Gutsy effort, love the kids attitude

Dimitrov isn't a shrimp. Murray has his work cut out. Dimitrov in 4

Never in doubt, Dimitrov not in the same league

[mighty_tiger_79]

Dimitrov may not be in Murrays league just yet, but he certainly isn't too far away.

the game will certainly open up in the near future, with Federer slowly on the way out to retirement, Nadal, his body is rooted unfortunately.

Radwanska goes alright.

[dedja]

maybe, but she's 1-4 down in the 3rd to a 34 year old.

[dedja]

and Venus blitzes her 6-1 in the 3rd.

[Jim05]

Looking like a Williams semi final

[mighty_tiger_79]

Halep the #3 seed just got smacked 6-4 and 6-0 in just over an hour to the #10 seed Marakova

[carey]

maybe, but she's 1-4 down in the 3rd to a 34 year old.

I certainty wasn't talking about her tennis ability.

Never in doubt?! What game were you watching?

Who was Australia's last modest male tennis player?? I'll tell ya. Pat Rafter. I don't understand what goes through most of the current male tennis player's head to become so aggresive, arrogant, selfish, non-Australian and whinging in manner. C'mon its not as if these blokes (Kyrgious, Tomic, Kokkinakis and special mentions to Hewitt) are in the current top 20. And if they keep going on like they are, they'll never get there and never get the respect from everyone.

[bennymacca]

Its not a new thing or indeed limited to Australians. Murray for instance was terrible when he first came onto the scene, not to mention someone like Agassi going back a little further.

It's just the nature of the game - intense one on one sport where you can't actually touch the guy. Of course frustrations are going to be there.

Whilst brash and cocky I really like Kyrgios and it's clear he has he game to back up his antics. He will calm down just like Murray, Hewitt, Agassi did

[mighty_tiger_79]

is there really anything wrong with a player having a bit of passion??

[bennymacca]

Nup. It was the thing I most admired about Hewitt tbh. Of course it was brash and childish at times, but he never ever gave up and his attitude got him wins his talent shouldn't have allowed.

As long as his antics don't start berating the opponent, and they haven't, then it's ok imo

[bennymacca]

It makes for compelling viewing too. Compare that with Berdych or a few other euro baseliners who can out anyone to sleep

Aggressive, Arrogant and Selfish the 3 main features of the current Australian cricket team and you say its un-Australian!

Are you joking? Do you not remember what Roger Federer was like?

Kyrgios is now ranked in the 30's and if he has a good French Open will be in the top 20 by, if not after Wimbledon.

The problem is there's too many 2 week Tennis supporters!
