Lol...

And hewitt was all class in his win over Nadal!!

The pressure was gonna get to him. Is Pat McEnroe still doing commentary for ESPN Star? And Jim Courier is real good for Channel 7. He has a knack for asking funny smart **** questions. Courier and John McEnroe would make one hell of a team.

Pat McEnroe is not doing commentary for ESPN Star Sports.

Federer vs. Hewitt Mens Final

Molik vs. Serena Williams womens final

Doubles and Mixed Doubles who cares???!!!

I reckon this is the best chance we have at a winner. Im hoping Mark Phillipoussis picks his game back up.

I hope ur wrong.I mean I am dying to see a Safin vs Hewitt final. And as Vijay Amritraj said,Safin's the best bet for beating Federer.He's got the potential,the game and ofcourse,my prayers so it should be interesting to see.Abt the doubles,I hope Bhupati wins,not that i mind the Bryan twins.Ofcourse I'd have loved to see a lil more of Fabrice Santoro,but....Damn Federer!

Hewitt is taking on Nalbandian as I write, 4-2 up in the first set, looking good

ps: Women's semi Final is going to be a repeat of the Wimbeldon's final last year, Maria Sharapova vs Serena Williams, hopefully it will also produce the same result as Wimbeldon

pps: Imanginary diva has just corrected me, the ESPN comentator's name is Vijay Amritraj, not Vijah Singh, the error is regretted

Well I hope Serena wins.I hate to see that stupid Sharapova grunting her way to victory.I really was hoping for an all williams final again,but looks like I'll have to wait.And now that Amelie is also out I'll be rooting for Serena or Lindsay.

Hewitt has booked his way into Tennis folklore winning an epic on Australia Day. 6-3 6-2 1-6 3-6 10-8 vs. David Nalbandian. The last set lasted 101 minutes!!

Federer will win the mens and I would've said Molik but now shes out (courageously 9-7 in the last to the No.1 Davenport) but now Serena Williams will win. As for the doubles, the Zimbabweans are gonna take it and i damn well hope they do. Kevin Ullyett and Wayne Black beat Mahesh Bhupathi and Todd Woodbridge in straight sets 7-6 6-3 today. Roddick and Hewitt is gonna be a showdown. If Lleyton's 100%, he'll win, but if he aint, Andy in straight sets. Federer and Safin to go to 4. Federer 6-3 6-2 4-6 7-5

I hope it's Maria. Atleast she still plays women's tennis. I hate to say this, but I prefer men's tennis more to women's these days. The ladies are playing with only power, and it has ruined the grace that was once associated with their style. How would have Steffi Graf faired against these musclular women? I don't even want to think about it.

Btw, Federer is going to lose atmost one set in the next two matches. That's about it.

I couldn't have agreed more with you on the front of power tennis as it were not being as entertaining or graceful to watch, I too hope Maria Sharapova wins.I can't help but admit that, Serene is not in my good books, never has been, I never mind seeing her lose.

I have personally always enjoyed watching Women's Tennis just as much as Men's Tennis.

Seeing Hewitt win today in 4 hour epic match was awsome, in the end it became a battle of endurance, who could just keep going on for a little longer, who was willing to go the extra yard or two, and in situations like that, I never doubt Hewitt's chances, he is virtually at his best when he is down and out, and although he was not entirely down and out in today's match, but definately struggling for momentum at one stage, but as he said, he just kept hanging in there and hanging in there and hanging in there and eventually, after a nerve rackling final set, that made all my hard work of 3 weeks of nail growing go down the drain, he succeed, my friends will be furious with me for that, but I'm very, very glad nevertheless.

Hewitt has beaten Roddick in their last 3 meetings, including a very signnificant win in his hometown in the Master's Cup, Hewitt said he felt alright fitness wise, and I'm going to believe him. My heart says he'll take it in staight sets, my brain tells me its going to go to 4. Over all I'm confient he's going to go in the finals. I can see it coming.

On the Safin-Federed game, I just don't want to listen to what my brain is telling me at all Safin is going to win it in straight sets
