Will is a big word. Let's hope. ;)

[carlito]

Damn that was a good match, i wanted Agassi to win tho.

[Wannes]

It indeed was, it's a pity to see Agassi go but it's awesome to see the new Saffin be in the finals. :) He deserves it. (Y)

[caerma]

It was an awesome game, Bye Agassi. :cry:

[kyro]

agassi lost and i am sad :( ... but the sadder part is i also root for safin (cause at USA 2000 grand slam he kicked PETE sampras sorry ass) so i cant be mad at safin .....

this aussie open i so wierd, all me fav players went into last four . also me big fan of Roger Federer (guess what ,ROGER also beat PETES ASS in some grand slam final :) ), man he is so cool while playing , he sits on bench in the game-break like he is sitting in some park looking at blondes ... he is cool .

Now i predict Roger will WIN .... some good reasons to back this up , SAFIN had to play best with RODDICK and within two days had ANOTHER BIG game today with AGASSI , he cannot mentally play another BIG game in final against ROGER if ROGER is best on that day , if SAFIN does play good and gets some luck , he deserves to WIN .

So good thing for me to watch Final .. either person wins , I WILL BE HAPPY :)

[jaffa]

Safin won.. hooray :D :devil:

[Wannes]

They now have 2 days rest. This will be enough for Safin to get some energy back and be able to play 100% again. I am sure it will be a tough game and I will be watching it. :)

damn, what a match. f'n safin took out my 3 favorite players, martin, roddick, and now agassi. i can't believe this. his serve and groundstrokes have been unstoppable...i don't know who to pull for now...

and to top it off, i wanted to get some frustration out by hitting some balls after watching the match, and i look out the window, and some ****tard is hosing down the tennis court for no apparant reason. now i gotta wait for it to dry.

[BMac]

Safin is on fire. Beat two of the top players in the game. He was once number one and appears to be heading in that direction again. He deserves to win it all and seems like he will. Congrats to Safin and what looks like a very promising tennis year. ;)

[Wannes]

Safin is indeed on fire. The guy has been out for a year with physical injuries, ankles; knee, and now he is back. What a come back. I hope he actually will go on to win. It will give him confidence and we will have anoter competer for that no1 seed. :D

[BlueBlood]

[BlueBlood]

w00t today mens final

[Wannes]

Final is busy at the moment! This is going to be an awesome game. (Y)

[Wannes]

Federer won. It was a great game.

Here are the finals singles:

Womens: Henin - Hardenne [bEL]

Men: Federer [sWISS]

Congrats to both of them. (Y)

i hate that ###### henin-hardenne. it's a shame that clijsters had some bad calls against her, on key break points. congrats to federrer though, he's got great game. it should be a great year on the mens side. i'm getting sick of these all belgium finals on the womens side though.

so what do you guys think about "shot-spot"? i think the chair umpire should have access to it during every point, and be able to make any overrules necessary. too many bad calls.

[Wannes]

Through, I think a referee should be able to see the reply like we see on tv. :)

[yanman]

I wanted Agassi to win :( LOL

[BlueBlood]

great game. Go Federer

[Wannes]

I did too but Safin was to good for Agassi. Pity about today. :(

I think the thing that upset me most is calling her a ######, when she certainly does not deserve that name. I never said she was great, but to comment on a person using vulgar language like that, that's just absurd. It's fine that you support Clijsters, but but backlashing at the winnter, that's your lack of sportmanship!!!!!! :angry:

If you have kept up with tennis over the last year, while Hein is a good tennis player, she has been the part of a few questionable things, including her stunt at last years French Open. She has a long way to go before the world will consider her 'great'. She needs to clean up her act and be a sportsman. :sleep:

[Wannes]

Amen to that. :)

btw what stunt in the french open are you talking about? just wondering :huh:

do these questionable things make her a ######? i don't think anyone should call someone they don't know a ######. it's really offended me. how would you feel if someone called your mother or your sister a ######? (not directed at you tempest)
