wanted to punch my TV.. stupid frenchies.


what was interesting about last night is that they were saying kyrgios is the highest ranked teenager in world tennis, at 183!

goes to show the impact that the power game has had on tennis in the last 20 years, i doubt we will ever see an 18 year old winning a grand slam, and definitely not another Boris Becker etc.

it was 17 when he won his grand slam :D

but yeah, he was another one. i just think it will be very hard for a teenager to make it to the top ten in the world these days.

even federer didnt reach the top 10 in the world until he was 21

was such a good match though, and it is interesting to draw comparisons with Tomic over the way they handled themselves when they were both clearly injured. Kyrgios could hardly walk at times, and was serving 20kph less than his average, but still stuck it out. will be a better player for the experience

also loved jim couriers commentary on how to try and deal with the cramping etc, it was very insightful.

Stosur vs Ivanonic ... the ultimate test to see which is the biggest choker.

My head says Stosur but my dick says Ivanovic.

I had the absolute pleasure of watching Ivanovic play Beck on Margaret Court Arena on Wednesday night. Photos and tv really don't show just how damn hot she is! The same goes for Alize Cornet. I took over a 1000 photos so once I've gone through ill post some

Out muscled the gorilla!

Ana played smart, aggressive and strong tennis ... beat Serena at her own game.

SirPenis Williams still couldn't admit she was outplayed post match. I love it when she losses, truly can't stand her

Totally outplayed ... the gorilla can't accept that someone could beat her on their merits, the sooner she and her primate sister retire and let us all be the better.

not sure we need the racism - serena is probably the best player the game has seen, revolutionised the womans game in the last 10 years
