I'll take the unpredictable Malisse. If he is on he wont have any trouble with a tired Soderling. Also the French crowd should be right behind their neighbouring Belgian!

I hope Robin will win!!

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo ROBIN !!!!!!! win it :yeah:

I'll take Malisse to win.

soderling for me thanks....one night's rest will do the trick

mate, that aint gonna happen. would aussies ever cheer for the kiwis? would the english for the french? i dont think so, it doesnt work that way.

:haha: of course we dont cheer for the french ;) They were cheering robin on yesterday...hopefully they will today too

soderling will nail malisse.....

yeah mate....and i actually won as well!! murphy made up for his qualifying (& my) disaster!

haha...so who is your cuafield and cox plate tips? i don't know where freedman pulled that run out of on saturday with mummify

test 1-2-3
hello to everyone

hey mate welcome

Hello to all, new member here, looking forward to tonights match, go Soderling.

No mate, not likely. btw go Mauresmo too

shit davenport is the best womes tennis player and she is going to retire end of this year??....crazy!

mate how do u feel after latham got well and truly battered in the election?

Why does Mauresmo seem to go to pieces in these finals esp against davenport?
sheeesh

she isn't going to pieces at all mate...just going to be outplayed by a much better opponent....$1.50 on davenport is absolute steal

I know but I still think its a bit of a mental thing with Mauresmo too.

this is a complete no contest, a mismatch of gigantic proportions...c'mon lindsay!

she isn't going to pieces at all mate...just going to be outplayed by a much better opponent....$1.50 on davenport is absolute steal

An absolute steal would be having Davenport into Novak into the Wilcats at $2.96 :) Go Lindsay you good thing and Mauresmo don't retire!!!!

lol sparkus u bastard! i got screwed by the kings this arvo

don't worry lindsay and robin will wipe the tears away for me

If Mauresmo could ever manage to get a big win over one of the top players it would do her the world of good - hopefully today isn't that day though.

ROBIN SÖDERLING!

ah fuck she better not retire! otherwise my multi becomes a bloody $1.6 single on soderling

If Mauresmo could ever manage to get a big win over one of the top players it would do her the world of good - hopefully today isn't that day though.

which makes it even more ludicrous that she is the no 1 player in the world...what a joke!

lol sparkus u bastard! i got screwed by the kings this arvo
Mate I was so close to putting them in aswell because I am a massive Kings fan, but I am extremely undecided about them this year - they have lost a stack of good players which are going to be tough to replace.

ROBIN SÖDERLING!

too right carlos!!

which makes it even more ludicrous that she is the no 1 player in the world...what a joke!
It wont last long - she has just lucked out with all the top players having injuries at some point in the year. When they all come back I'm sure she will be knocked down a few pegs.

mate it's going to be sweet coz they got this import called adam sanford, and he is a brilliant ball player....i still reckon they can get the 3-peat thoguh teams like the wildcats and 36ers look strong this year

mind you if i did my research i would have known that he didn't even play today!

c'mon lindsay!

He has too be great if we want to 3peat. Nielsen is a massive loss as are Carrawell and Ere. We get Smith back though and Knight from the Hawks is a pretty good player.

I thought that Brisbane would have a good shot this year, but did you see that result today. They got hammered by 30+ points by the Pigs, tough road trip though backing up from the game last night agaist Wollongong.

mind you if i did my research i would have known that he didn't even play today!
Yeh i read that on the internet yesterday.

Dammit!!

hallo everyone

did they complete the set? I think it was 6-2 right?

So whos' on who tonight? I was thinking Malisse but I decided to stear clear of this one, so I guess I hope Soderling wins now.

has robin match started?

Lindsay :worship:

I hope soderling wins it. Got him for the outright.

i think robin will win as well

LET'S GO ROBIN!

hallo has robin match start soon?

No but had her with another one -set bookie. So i got paid.. nice

oh so many aussies here! india played australia and lost badly today :(

C'MMON ROBIN!

eurosport has audio

This is not over Xavier! It's not over until the last point! Don't give up! Come on!! Fight with all your heart!

Where do you click for the Eurosport audio ? Since they changed their website a few months ago, I can't find it!

GO SÖDERLING GO!

it is over...soderling is going to hammer malisse

bloody hell if only mauresmo completed her match, this victory would have been even more sweeter

eurosport has written commentary, too :)

Sorry, me and betting = :cuckoo: :lol: Don't understand a thing

Malisse breaks for 2nd set 6-3

Sure, I'm going for Robin here, but Xavier has 0 from 5 finals...right? Poor bugger!

Still... he should consider the mach 3 :)

Keep fighting Xavier! Please don't do like you often. You can let go this time!!! FIGHT!

Soderling holds easily

:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad: Robin, you are a stupid. :mad:

Xavier... :o

Congrats BG, still it was a pity about Mauresmo!

congrats to you bg you backed the right man.. me too lol

:woohoo:
I will save my celebrations for theSoderling thread...
I hope Xavier gets a title soon though, this has been a nice change for him. Hopefully he'll keep up the good work :)

This is the sixth final he loses when is he finally going to win one? :sad:

i feel sorry for Malisse 6th final is it and still cant win one?

cong soderling

This is the sixth final he loses when is he finally going to win one? :sad:
Next week maybe

soderling is going to be sweden's no 1 player very soon if he keeps this form up!...i have a question for the swedish fans...why the fuck can't sweden win the davis cup recently, they clearly have the strongest squad in the world!

Yeah! Robin! :D :)

Xavier :sad:
He keeps losing all these chances to win his first title. I wonder if it will ever happen :(

Why? Do they give good odds :rolleyes:
It is called inconsistency.
Yes, they have a strong squad. But look who they played in the first round this year :rolleyes: and Philippoussis is playing like crap recently. If Roddick is out with Injury, or a couple of the french and spanish guys are out, then maybe we will have a chance. Remember... these guys have had very little DC experience. But, hopefully, they'll get used to the pressure.

Did someone really think Mauresmo would win Filderstadt ?? Even healthy, Davenport would have beaten her. She owns her.
I meant it in a gambling sense - we were all on Davenport, but because Mauresmo retired alot of us missed out on a much bigger payday - so that's why it was a pity ;)

Xavier :sad:
He keeps losing all these chances to win his first title. I wonder if it will ever happen :(
He will, he will :angel: I have faith :)

I meant it in a gambling sense - we were all on Davenport, but because Mauresmo retired alot of us missed out on a much bigger payday - so that's why it was a pity ;)
ah, another gambling pity

soderling is going to be sweden's no 1 player very soon if he keeps this form up!...i have a question for the swedish fans...why the fuck can't sweden win the davis cup recently, they clearly have the strongest squad in the world!
Mate if they played all their ties on Hardcourts it would nearly be impossible to back against them, but those damn clay courts will get em every time.

Why? Do they give good odds :rolleyes:

but players like JJ and soderling have improved dramatically over the course of the year....it's hard to find another country along with spain that could rival those two as their singles players

cong soderling

Yeah , Well Done Robin.. :worship:

By the Way , Do u know BK too ?

well done Robin :D

anyway onwards to russia and austria....see you all there!!!

and remember....HAVE A PUNT, ITS HEALTHY!

Their dramatic improvements have happened basically since March (since the beginning of the year / end of last, but they prob werent used to it), when they lost the DC to the USA. Depends what your motives are for them I guess... gambling, or just a passion for their style, and personalities. I've seen Soderling lose to some of the (IMO) crappiest players out there. He's easy to manipulate. A little more so than Joachim. Well, Joachim doesn't really show anything. Robin actually lets some emotion out :)

hey hey....although i love to gamble i still appreciate good tennis. Those two have played in a way such that you have to admire regardless of whether i have money on them or not ;) anyway sweden definately has a great tennis future with those two....same can't be said of australia though :(

all we have is hewitt and a joker named todd reid who lost to a guy ranked bloody 1000000000th in the world in davis cup

and a fool named flip

It's good to see these young swedes getting some big match experience under their belt - it will do them a world of good in the future. I look forward to seeing them play when they come to Australia early next year and it will be good if they go deep in those tournaments because they Swedish crowds they attract are awesome!

LOL Bad gambler... Aus without good tennis players. I'm betting on it *pathetic pun intended ;)* Looking forward to the Davis Cup tie next March, so I can support Jurgen and the boys :D hehe...

all we have is hewitt and a joker named todd reid who lost to a guy ranked bloody 1000000000th in the world in davis cup
Mate we have turned into the Swiss Davis Cup team! Hewitt wins his two singles matches then hope to god you can jag the doubles!

Mate we have turned into the Swiss Davis Cup team! Hewitt wins his two singles matches then hope to god you can jag the doubles!

nowadays hewitt winning 2 singles is not a lock as it used to be in 2000 & 2001 .....once he is up against a power player, he just can't match them

My bookie owes me money... when will she pay up?

WD Robin

well done Söderling :)

ROBIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D CONGRATS KIDO !!!

Probably futile but...does anyone know whats going on with the mens doubles in Lyon?

yep...bjorkman and stepanek lost 6-7 *typical* 2-6 :rolleyes:

Robin the best
