I see the American young hope, Donald Young, has just been double bagelled in Miami by Carlos Berlocq of Argentina. That'll be 9 WCs to ATP events and still to win a set. He's 16 and only played 3 Challenger events in addition to the 9 ATP ( includes US Open and 4 Masters Series events ) so...

Just wondered how well everyone thought Serena will do in the coming fortnight Impressive win today though she didn't have to do particularly much, her serving was of a high standard and she hit some great backhands. Next up for Serena is Anne Kremer (who surprisingly beat Michaella Kraijc...

Starts in approx 3 hours time Serena Williams v Maria Sharapova Does anyone think Serena can pull off a shock upset here ?

Sheddie · Sheddie

So another incredible performance from Federer, dispatching Roddick 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. After their previous 3 matches in the USO final, Masters cup and Kooyong I thought it would be really close, maybe even a 5 set classic especially given how Roddick won in Kooyong on exactly the same surface. Howeve...

Well its looking like The Fed has another chance to win 4 slams back to back, as at the moment u cant see past him for the AO title, but i was wondering if he won all 4 in a year, or 4 in a sequence, would he be happy if raffa missed the FO when he won it? i think a lot would be taken away from his achivment, same as wi...

Two fascinating semi-final matches: Serena Williams v Nicole Vaidisova Maria Sharapova v Kim Cljisters Who do you think will make the final ?

He doesn't list the master series Miami in his calendar so will he deliberately miss it

does he realize he will be heavily fined

Started a new thread, but I'm off to bed soon! Just to start, play not started, except on covered courts, due to rain. Grosjean leads Nalbadian one set to love and 4-4 on the Vodafone. Sharapova beat Garbin 6-3, 6-1. Air conditioning on Vodafone appears to have packed up. Grosjean and Nalbandian l...

Azarenka Jankovic should be interesting. How many games will Djoko lose tonight? I'm going for 8.

Keith · Keith

Thought I'd open a post for anyone staying up to watch tonight's action. I'll probably be watching Hingis in the first match, but will be keeping an eye on the Chela/Nieminen score. Anyway, just thought it might be a good idea to have a post where those of us staying up can chat until we get to Andy's match...

Sheddie · Sheddie

Who do we think will win the Aussie Open ? Federer is odds-on favourite by miles but for me, Roddick is probably the next likely to take the title. OK he had a dodgy match against Tsonga but his form at Kooyong last week was sensational, finally beating Federer for the first time in nearly 4 years must...

The big news from day 3, Monfils winning 7-6, 6-2, 2-6, 6-0 That's a massive upset, Monfils played some great stuff at times tonight and his serve was on fire but Baggy was dreadful, made over 50 ues and his volleying was dire. It's been a poor start to the year for him - got hammered in Doha by Soderlin...

Impressive stuff !!!

Sheddie · Sheddie

Apart from the British matches, some intriguing clashes will take place over the next 12 hours. The pick of them is probably James Blake v Carlos Moya (I wish the Beeb were showing that after Murray instead of the Hewitt match which will probably be an easy straights win for Hewitt). It'll be an int...

Got there just before the doors opened at 10am yesterday morning. First I went and found my seat, which wasn't the best as it was right in the corner and quite far away from the court. Then it was off to have a look at the outside courts to see if any of the big names were out practicing. There was noone I rec...

Great field for us confirmed today. Niemenen will return to defend the title he won this year, along with Ancic who was runner up to him. Hrbaty will return for the 9th time while Ferrero makes his 2nd appearance here. Other big names include Robredo, Ferrer, Rochus, Gaudio and Chela. No British p...

Some news to warm the heart of Arka ! Nadal goes out to Malisse

Once Nalbandian had lost, I thought that Nadal was a cert for the title. However, Malisse beat him 6-4, 7-6[4]. Once again, he was outhit by an attacking baseliner with a booming forehand. So Nadal's drought contin...
