It's really looking like Djokovic is never going to lose again :lol:

I am very scared because I think I might NOT hate him anymore....

He's stopped doing the 3 things that really, really pissed me off about him

1) Choking
2) Retiring
3) THE BALL BOUNCING

So all that's left is the fact that he resembles Big Bird from Sesame Street

edit: Yeah it's official, THE MUTANT is the new CHOKEABITCH. My most hated player by a mile, now

Agree with you on how Djoko "evolved"...
He's soo impressive to watch, most of time smiling,... As for the "Choking/Retiring/Ball Bouncing" combo, i'm glad too we see this less and less, just hope it won't pop up again in a very high stakes match at moments where he's in difficulties...

Now Stosur goes out, looking like Wozniaki could win, not that winning a GS in womens tennis seems such a big deal nowadays anyway.

I was looking at the Women's draw this afternoon to see the players Rus would face if she continued and thought by myself, this is not that difficult for a decent player. Which in itself is quite a sad realization.

Not that i think Rus has a chance by the way. She will go out in the next round. It just looks to me that anyone that can up his level a bit could win a GS. And that nobody in this draw could have survived in the top 10 a few years ago (besides Wozniaki probably).

There are a lot of top guns able to win that French :
Kousnetsova, Azarenka, Sharapova, Schiavone, Hantuchova (she plays Woz' today :twisted: )... And some others i may forget... And the one or two who could "surprise" (Rus? Dulko?...)

I simply hate her. If someone could stab her in the back... Thx.

Honestly, the way she bounces the ball is ridiculous, she acts like she's the One (well that's how i see her from some "stories" about how she behaved regarding the Fedcup team, selfish and all...), and she tries too much to play like Monica Seles...
("'Nuff said"...) 8) :lol:

I can't stand anybody who hits 2 hands on both sides. Sooo STUPID, it's like the recipe to NEVER BE #1 IN THE WORLD EVER

(unless you are Monica Seles)

Loads of errors by Clijsters, but still Rus played great. So brilliant how she won those last 2 points.


I thought this Arantxa looked pretty good verse clisjters, and by that I mean I thought she was pretty hot! :lol:

Wozacki crashed out as well, I'd say Azarenka is favourite but really anyone could win, Serena could have played on one leg and spanked this lot. I'd say Kuznetsova is the best of what's left but she has a habit of blowing it.

Sharapova, no? She won Rome coming into this, and if she wins she has her collection of all 4 GS titles. 8)

Tsonga is a badass ched! Such a cool play style. And yes fed was impressive, more than twice his winners/UE's

Sharapova only won Rome after Azarenka retired in the qf at a set up, her serve looks really dodgy though. At least she has a bit of star quality, it would be less embarrassing for the wta if she won it.
