I know its not funny that Kei is injured, but the way you worded that was funny. If JC and Ferrer meet that would be one hell of a good match. Anyway regardless of who wins, I can't wait to see Ferrer at the Australian Open next week. I hope he does well, and I'll have plenty of photos for you all.

I certainly won't complain if the two would meet in a match.:) Have loads of fun at the AO, I'm very very jealous. I have to wait until March to see some live tennis.

David plays doubles with Marcel Granollers in Auckland. They are 4th on cc on Tuesday against the local boys, the Statham brothers.

So while David is sweating on court and I'm busy screwing up people's English you'll be fast asleep. Yeah, sounds very bad.:rolleyes:

David won 7-6, 4-6, 4-6 Very very close match with a shoulder shrugging David. And a sweating Linda in front of a live-stream. (luckily I only had to suffer through the last set)

What a match to begin the season with.:scared: My hubby took one look at the screen and said "he's losing this one".:mad: Ha ....:p

I'm sure David appreciates your sacrifice.:cool:

FerrersLinda
01-14-2009, 09:10 PM
So tomorrow he plays Kohlschreiber 3rd on cc.

After that win, he'll have to get pumped up again and join Granollers in kicking some Damm/Lindstedt ass on court 4.

FerrersLinda
01-14-2009, 10:55 PM
Am watching match 2 now. Why is Delpo stalling?:(

Oh my god never thought I would say this: Thank you Querrey.

Me too.

So do I and after his matches against Davydenko & Rafa I was hopeful, but the only good thing about his match against Clement was that his serve stood up the entire match :)just a shame the same couldn't be said for his fh which he kept losing his range on badly :rolleyes:
