Australian Open Tennis

Murray has been looking pretty decent so far, fingers crossed he can keep it together. Federer is still very good, but you get the feeling that he might be on the start of the slippery slope. On his day he still beats anyone though.

I dont forsee we`ll ever see roger federer going out on his arse and truly believe he`ll carry on winning everything up until the day he gets bored

murray doing well so far but it is only round 3. Just like with every major tournament the competition wont truly begin until week 2

You might be right, it's early doors yet and Murray hasn't really had the pressure put on him yet. It's good that he hasn't lost any sets yet though and is still looking fresh.

I dont no mate im the biggest Federer fan and he is the best ever, but if you look closely at his record over last 12 months it doesnt show the full story, ok he won two slams which is amazing and hats off to him.

But in them slams he never met any of the infamous other three at the time Nadal,Djokovic,Murray. Now at the French he beat Del Potro in 5 but I dont think Del Potro is the same player now as he was then he was only ranked 7 in the world.

In the last 4 slams Federer has gone 1-2 when playing the top 5 i call it now since Del Potros win at the Us open. The only win was against Djokovic at the us open semi. He lost to Del Potro in the US Final and Nadal at the Aus Open. Like I said never faced any of the big players in the two slams he won, and overall his record since he won the French against the big boys is 2-7.

I just think Federer is struggling to beat the top guys.

Hewitt plays federer tonight I think, i shall be watching that for sure. It would be awesome for a win tonight because its a Australia Day tomorrow (public holiday where we all get on the piss and celebrate being australian basically lol). I think what makes the aus open so challenging for players is that its soooo hot. Not everyone can bring their A game in that kind of heat.

Ok Stosur got smashed by Williams and then likewise Hewitt followed suit and Federer used him as a practice partner...............FUCK!!!!

Hewitt was playing like that pre-federer, nadal and winning majors.

Just goes to show how far the game has evolved thanks to federer. Incredible display by hewitt...but federer is just super human and its gonna take a huge downturn from that performance for the likes of nadal and djokovic to stand a chance

federer eats Hewitt for breakfast, I think he has beat him 15 times on the bounce and not been beaton for 7 years, lets not go over the top.

Davydenko is the form horse im saying he beats Federer in 4.
