Australian open 2009 season

Is it that Nadal is what Federer was? Is Federer gradually becoming a has been (probably due to age factor) and will soon join the tennis legends playing as veterans and invited as a regular for a friendly match world tour? He might start thinking of fatherhood and that would mean inflating impregnating his lady mirka and do family picnic with Agassi-Graf Clan.


First seeded Jelena Jankovic had to bow down to Marion Bartoli who has beaten her in straight set. Andy Murray gone too, overpowered by Fernando Verdasco, the Ana Ivanovic's squeeze. Ana herself was sent out in the 3rd round having lost to Alisa Kleybanova in 2 set to 1. Federer has to play 5 sets against Tomas Berdych to qualify himself into the quarter finals and chances for him to win the 1st grand slam of the year is lessening but it aint over till its over. We still have people like Jo-W Tsonga, Djoker, Nadal , Roddick and Del Potro who are all advancing rather well relative to Fed's achievement so far had it not be the full support from the audience. We have also said goodbye to Venus Williams who lost her battle against a plainer than plainjane new comer from Spain, Carla Suarez Navarro. Kudos to the latter who was not fazed or faltered against a giant (she's a six footer lady) like Venus.


Whats new then? Me watching from me own home theatre set that is...It sure gives another dimension when it comes to s0und system and projected through a 32 inches LCD screen.

To those especially my Chinese friends,

GONG XI GONG XI GONG XI NI, GONG XI FA CAI

and to the rest of us malaysians, happy holidays.

I'm not into tennis. But I do know that Nadal is handsome. Well, a little. I think the most good looking one is Marat Safin (is that how you spell the name?). See, I don't think I watch the game much.. :D

Mel Ija,

It doesnt matter that u dont do tennis much but u OBVIOUSLY do have the sharp eyes and good taste in men in i sooo agree that Marat is probably one of the most handsome tennis player alive.

Nadal looks good too and pardon me but I somehow reckon he's quite hung too....

Hang on, r u actually GOING for him or u just like his skills?
