Australian Open 2006

[James219]

True she fought back in the last set to make it 5-5 but couldn't hold on till the end.

 

[James219]

Unlucky for Clijsters to miss out on the final with another injury during the match against Mauresmo. I'm not saying she would have won but it was definitely open. Now a Mauresmo/Justine final. Go Justine I hate Mauresmo!

Baghdadis def Nalbandian and is in the final.

Hope Federer wins, what an awsome match it will be.

Can't believe Nalbandian lost. Don't mind who wins, it's just going to be great to watch.

 

[James219]

It'll be great with Federer's brilliance and Bagdhatis's chanting troop... It is a shock Nalbandian lost, what a comeback, but the crowd really is a weapon for getting Baghdatis going.

To comeback from 2-0 shows this Baghdatis has the fighting spirit. Lets see what he does against the master. If only Hingis could have made the finals as we would have a double in some way. Either a Swiss double or a fairytale double.

Go baghdatis Federer is getting too boring

 

[James219]

Well I just remembered something: Federer hasn't made the final yet !. He most probably will, but honestly with all the talk, I was thinking like he had already played and won the semi. Btw, Federer may dominate alot but he's definitely not a boring player to watch, he's one of the most inventive in the men's game.

 

[aussie1st]

Lol I thought the same thing. Since Sharapova, Hingis, Sami and Hewitt went out I haven't looked at the draw. Federer would be playing today which makes sense as the mens final is Sunday.

 

[James219]

1 set all in Federer vs Kieffer Semi Final. Federer leads 2-0 in the third.

 

[aussie1st]

Federer is just playing around Last 2 sets he killed Kiefer. Looks like another Federer open coming up.

 

[sachin]

Amelie Muresmo wins first Grand Slam. Thats her third match where she won when her opponent retired injured.........it must have taken away from the win.

 

[James219]

Yeah naturally it would, but still she was up one set and 2-0 in the second, so it was convincing until that point anyway. She ascends to number 2 in the world now.

 

[aussie1st]

Its a pity that Justine played injuried as she was favourite to take the title. Amelie however was in top form this tournament and fully deserved the title. As I said earlier picking the women's winner was going to be a tough one.
