Is anyone else following the Australian Open?

[Halex]

Both,    cps coach told him , Andy Murray was playing the same level  tennis cp is now. He has potential if he wishes.

But his real fav is Nadal as he has a Nadal racket

He wants to play in the Hopman Cup & has told if he works hard he could , but we will see.......... His coach pus him with teenages & he beats some 15 year olds & looses to some. We are now concentrating on placing the ball on the court

I'm watching when I can.  I was so disappointed Hewitt lost.  I am not a Tomic fan.  Really like Federer and wish Nadal was playing, even though I can't stand watching him pulling his pants out of his bum!  He shouldn't wear his shorts so tight

[Amy :-)]

I'm not a huge Tomic fan either Kezza. I wasn't sad to see Hewitt lose though He's been playing for 16 years, I think he should quit while he's ahead.
LOL about Nadal, I totally agree

Wow, cp must be a little tennis star then Maybe he could participate in the Austrlian Open Juniors when he is a bit older?
I don't like Nadal at all. He's probably my least favourite player I get mad whenever he beats Federer or Djokovic
How is cp's serve? He must still be a bit on the short side

Amy, when I played my racket always had a hole in it too

Glad I wasn't the only one cookie!!

[Halex]

He is about the height of a 12 year old, size 6 1/2 feet.

His serves are ok
He will have you running all over the court, but not good at coming to the net as yet

[Amy :-)]

As long as he can get it over the net consistently
Still needs to build that confidence to come to the net I guess I never liked playing at the net, even in doubles I didn't like being the one at the net

[Halex]

Yes his serves are good, rare a double fault.

Hes only just turned 9, bless

[Amy :-)]

His name will be in lights when he's older Hally

You must be such a proud mum

[Jude59]

Wow Hally sounds like cp is doing really well!

[Halex]

Yes thanks. Last week in the heat he was still keen to do 5 hours per day.

He will probably loose interest. & wont want to put the effort in

[Amy :-)]

I hope not Hally, he sounds really talented

[Amy :-)]

Sam Stosur is out!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it, she was up 5-2 in the third set, I thought she could do it

[Jude59]

I was very disappointed with Sam.  Came back well to win in the second and looked like she was going to do well in the third.   Grrrrr ....

[Amy :-)]

Ditto that Jude. She made a lot of double faults and her aim on some points was way off

[hopefulcook]

Wow Hally. My DS is 8 hasn't started matches yet, will wait til next summer. Loves coaching and going to tennis camp next week.
I'd love to take him to the Open next year. I'm on watching slip'n'slide duty now, then water the garden, bath kids and then watch Novak.
I love Federer and Nadal too. Very sad to see Stouser out today.
One perk of being a stay at home Mum and school holidays - lot's of tennis watching opportunities - and a direct link to less cooking!!! Too hot anyway!

[Amy :-)]

GO DUCKY!!!

Aussie Aussie Aussie!!!!!
