Ah Will, you're a darling, tis Celtic passion for­ sure. Andy has years ahead of him, verve and drive.­ Who knows? I have a feeling about him, I think he will­ refine his skills and fulfill his potential, hopefully­ going on to kick some serious arse. Federer and Nadal­ (among others) are wonderful sportsmen and a joy to­ watch, each has fully deserved every win and I salute­ them. Andy will get his limelite I believe.

For those­ of you who feel that the arrangement of his physical­ features or Nationality define his worth, let me lead­ you via your Dyslexia teacher to The Sun website, where­ The Big Brother section can teach you advanced­ prejudice regarding size, nationality and sexuality. ­ Click on 'my IQ is below 20 but I keep on­ typing!'

finally managed to see some tennis!!! i'm fuming­ because the only tv channel in romania that i get and­ broadcasts Toronto has had more important news to focus­ on (like who cares what jerseys steaua have this­ season?!?!?) so they only aired one match. makes me­ wish i had tennis tv.
anyways, back to the match, then.­ i was glad to see nadal improve his game. it was­ definitely more solid than in the first match and the­ second set was a delight, partly thanks to andreev who­ put on a wonderful display of his tennis skills with­ many spectacular points won from all over the court by­ both players (i even wrote down at what score, but­ looking at it now, it seems a bit nerdy so i won't­ bother you with such details :-p).
that being said, i­ think that, even if nadal's game may not be the­ best on the surface, his attitude sure is. case in­ point, an "out" ball from andreev early in­ the first set during a rally, which the line umpires­ didn't call. rather than stop the game and demand a­ challenge, nadal kept the ball rolling and won it.
i­ like andreev's game very much, his surge in the­ second set was great to watch. the last two games were­ thrilling. too bad andreev lost steam in the tiebreak.­ nadal however was clinical, FOCUSED, on target. hope he­ stays that way for the duration of the­ tournament.
i'm upset i couldn't see the­ roddick-cillic match. i would have loved to see how the­ unseeded player overcame roddick's monster­ serve.
oh, well, c'est la vie, c'est la guerre,­ c'est la misere.
take care!

Don't know Madaajbre. There have been a lot of­ "surprises", maybe due to the fact that more­ players enter the equation on this surface than on­ others. Simon is looking good. . Kiefer surprised me by­ beating Davydenko (who I thought was a candidate for­ the title). I saw some of Cilic against Roddick and was­ impressed with his serving, volleying and ground­ strokes. The only thing I thought was that he­ didn't move so well, though that could be an­ optical illusion given that he such a big guy. The­ other half of the draw features the remaining big­ guns.I still think Nadal is playing a bit too far­ behind the baseline, but he's been very workmanlike­ in resolving his matches and as the tournament goes on,­ he'll probably try to be a bit more aggressive. He­ may have to be if he meets the best version of Gasquet.­ I've posted comments about Murray and Djokovic­ below. If you really twisted my arm, I'd go for­ Djokovic. With my record for predictions, he probably­ would be horrified to hear that I'd gone for him­ (it's been the kiss of death for more than a few­ players). In any case, the beauty of this is the­ unpredictability. All the guys in the quarters are­ there because they're playing well. I haven't­ mentioned Blake thus far, so he's probably going to­ win. If so, my impression is that it couldn't­ happen to a nicer guy. It promises to be interesting.­ CHEERS

Thak u rhymes450!!

what do u think? who wins Toronto?

Well pointed out madaajbre. Mr Universe/Miss World fans­ are on the wrong site. CHEERS

Hola tennis fans!
I c u guys talkin about how Murray is­ ugly..... G!!! that is stupid... after all hi's not­ a freaking model. Just another tennis player... and not­ so bad one! OH, and im not scotish!
I thought we are­ here 2 talk about tennis... my mistake!

i will recommend that moron murray is an primitive­ ugliest monkey ever known...vote for it!!!

No, owning means beating someone 3 out of 4 times this­ year. Wise up, son

No my friend, owning someone means beating them pretty­ easily in 2 sets not 3.

Murray may be ugly, but he owned Wawrinka once again.

I agree with Gonzalo: Murray is soooo ugly!!!

Very good win for Andy. Wawrinka is perhaps the most­ improved player on the pro circuit and has a similar­ ranking to Murray. Didn't see the match so I­ can't make specific comments on how it went. Now­ Andy will be second favourite against Djokovic, who has­ despatched him easily (often very easily) in all their­ previous meetings. To have a chance, I think Andy­ obviously has to serve well and then play to a good­ length, with pace off the ground. Once Djokovic gets­ inside the court to hit ground strokes (particularly­ forehands), he's absolutely lethal (perhaps the­ best in the world right now on this surface). Novak­ pounces on short balls, weak service returns etc and­ once he lines up that forehand from inside the court,­ it's almost impossible to read where he's going­ to put it. Perhaps the only area where Andy may be­ slightly better than Novak is at the net, where I feel­ he has more touch (it's perhaps one of the very few­ slight weaknesses that Djokovic has).I'm not sure­ if going to the net will form part of his game plan,­ but it's possible. It's one way of trying to­ put Novak under pressure (difficult to do off the­ ground)but obviously has its own risks. Andy is an­ excellent player, top ten in the world so he's got­ a chance. Having said that, he up against a class act­ here. Djokovic is a real Rolls Royce of a player and­ Murray will have to be at his very best to put him­ under pressure. Definitely a match worth catching IMO.­ Great win for the mecurial Richard Gasquet against his­ bogey man David Ferrer. Very interesting match up with­ Nadal now. Four years ago, people talked about these­ two in the same breath (briefly!) but one has gone on­ to great things, while the other has underachieved.­ Caught the end of the Nadal match. Andreev had him­ under pressure but in the final two games and the­ tiebreak, Rafa didn't make a single unforced error.­ Good day at the office for another class act. CHEERS

willflet, Djokovic from 3rd world country will win­ 6-1,6-0 to a guy with unknow nationality­ (scot/brit,brit/scot what so ever).lol

Hi Blind­ Harry!

I assume ye didna read me previous­ comment...

Do ye understand the language sagupaanach?­ 'unknow nationality'

Take yer medicines or try­ another 'unknow' method.

Errata: Beautiful.
I didn't mean to be offensive­ and have to admit that "3rd world" sounds­ terrible to my ignorant ears... I just know of­ "one world" and like my fellow Countrymen/­ women, I don't suscribe to racist terminology or­ offensive commentaries on other countries.
In fact,­ Scotland enjoys of a good reputation... a­ "Low" profile country with "High"­ sense of respect to our visitors.
Aboot my houses and­ Rover... that`s what I call 'Scottish sense of­ humor'

Slàinte.

Gonzalo C+unt,

Hello my beatiful lass!

C'moan don't come to me wi­ yer cheap @#$%.
Three Languages?!! Most Scots are able­ to speak up three languages lass: English,Gaelic,­ French/German &c.
Are ye able to post a single­ comment in Gaelic?
Disculpe señorita pero debo­ continuar con mi trabajo. Además, este ignorante debe­ dar clases de Física mañana por la tarde en la­ Universidad de Edinburgo.
Send a comment in Gaelic and­ ye'll get a reply, if not...
Ciao, bambina!
