Well I am talking about his performance this year which has been relatively poor compared to Rafa, JM Del Potro, Verdasco.

Djokovich hasn't been great either this year.
Oh when you put it that way then yeah.

lol excuse my spelling error

I am not fan of any male tennis players. But for women, my favourites are Serena Williams, Jelena Dokic, and Amelie Mauresmo =)

Predictions:

Roger Federer df Philipp Kohlschreiber

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga df Ivo Karlovic.

But it will be great to see Ivo showing off his crazy serving skills. I mean, he is the best server in the world, after all =)

I don't like your second prediction :)
because i'm a fan of IVO KARLOVIC!!!!
but admittedly so i guess you will be on the mark with both those predictions!

you know ivo karlovic actually served a record 51 aces in a Wimbledon match before and still managed to LOSE!!!!

He is such an inspiration to me :)

lol what a reason to inspire someone.

Oh actually, he has better record. I just wikied it and I got few records from him. 55 aces I think on French Open few weeks ago when he battled against Lleyton Hewitt. But he still lost lol..

lol no that's not the reason!!!
the reason is actually because of his height!
and the way he manages to move on the court even with that large frame!

YES! I know that's the sad part!
His height makes it hard for him to move well..:( i know this from personal experience in recent times :(

Dokic out on first go anyway. Whatever has happened to that AO09 QF dream run?
But Sam won~~~~~~~~
I feel for Jelena. I imagine it's never easy to keep the ball rolling when you're on a comeback trail. She hasn't been performing at her best level, but I was so proud of her at the French Open when she was on the brink of beating Elena Dementieva. Here's hoping she can keep going and get consistent.

Samantha didn't play the best match yesterday. It should have been an easy put-away but she almost lost it. Come to think, the first round match wasn't the best either. Both should have been easy, both went to 3 sets.. A bit disappointing. Hope this hasn't been brought on by the change of coaches - Stosur says it won't affect her game, but she hasn't been producing French Open material. C'mon Sam, LIFT!!

there is something about one-handed backhands that appeals to me
One handed back-hands are cool - they don't have as much power but the reaction time it saves helps players. I think it also opens up angles too. But I like the 2-hander more. :)

you know ivo karlovic actually served a record 51 aces in a Wimbledon match before and still managed to LOSE!!!!
I think Andy Roddick managed to serve up over 100 aces in a AO match against Keifer at some point in the past...

I agree with you, never an easy thing to keep the ball rolling :(

Yeah, that kinda surprised me. Samantha should have had a relatively easy match but she came through eventually :)

Lift-shannon noll (motivational song)

yes, particularly roger federer's :)
