Road to Aussie 2011

Jo easy won his first match in Doha! Yay!! Just too good for RRH

Jo is back :rocker2:

Jo is killing me with this match vs GGL...

Incredible hust incredible GGL broke him back again. This fucking match was in your hands Jo and you do this kind of shit!!! Cannot believe it :banghead: So fucking frustrating

Jo, you are effing vampire, you are drinking my blood, eating my nerves, sadist...

:lol: Following the SB is easier on the nerves, though I'm dying to finally see him play

Well done Jojo :yeah:

Be nervous tomorow, because tomorow it will be federer ! :cool:

You are right...

He is down 1-4... Jo looks very displeased with his game on changeover.

Jo is sweating so hard...

He's actually playing quite well given he's been out of the game for quite a while, only thing to be displeased about is missing on some of the big points. Either way, it's promising form for AO, I say :)

3-6

Hope so...

Oh fuck... 15-40.

Yes! Great done!

Rrrr

Fuck!!!!!

That was a good rally on gamepoint!:yeah:

easy boy, easy. Don't panic Jo!

Oh god Jo hold it please!!!!!!

Hell yeah! Great point!

Deuce... Excellent! Adv. Yes! 6-5!

Jo cannot return Fed's serves :(
Tiebreak

Fuck :sad: Minibreak to Fed

I like these little sneaks into the net :)

He really needs to work on the return, somewhat of an improvement would do wonders for him

2-4 :(
2-5...
2-6 :hysteric:

:)

I don't like Jo's draw one bit :( Aside from R2 if he gets past Picasso, it's a minefield. Anyway, allez Jojo, get into magic mode early on and march through it :rocker2:

Quarter looks like this


[4] Soderling vs Starace
Q vs Q
Istomin vs Q
Mello vs [30] Bellucci

[24] Gulbis vs Becker
Dolgopolov vs Kukushkin
Seppi vs Clement
Petzschner vs [13] Tsonga

[11] Melzer vs Q
Ball vs Riba
Sela vs Del Potro
Q vs [21] Baghdatis

[32] Garcia-Lopez vs Berrer
Schwank vs Mayer
Marchenko vs Ramirez Hidalgo
Beck vs [5] Murray

This draw is nightmare..

Ouch tough draaw... hopefully he'll be in God mode like in 2008... I really hope he breaks the charm and defeats Soderling!

Bad draw, but he could very well at least get to the 4th round.
Do it Jo!

Rain messed up schedule in Kooyong exhibition and Jo got to play only one pro-set against Jurgen Melzer, which he lost 6-8. I could be wrong but it looks like they canceled his other matches.

Oh well. Get some rest and practice in before AO action starts.

Jo lost to Verdasco too. Oh my god what's wrong with him??? :hysteric: I am in panic!!!!!

Did he really lose to Verdasco? What was the score?

According to this (http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/pros-set-for-shorter-battle-in-the-kooyong-classic/story-e6frecj3-1225987602551), Tsonga opted for a short pro-set because "he has had knee issues". :O

I hope it's nothing serious and he's more being precautionary and not wanting to strain it by playing two matches a day in a freaking exho :unsure:

No mercy for soderling.

hey everybody, i think jo's draw is ok, could be a lot worse. he should make it to fourth round no problem. i am keeping my expectations low since he still seems to be having knee problems. I wonder if he'll ever be 100%. :sad:

Jo plays the night match on MCA, 7 AM CET. Allez Jojo :bounce:

1-1

15-30
15-40 Wtf?????

Anyone found a stream? All livescore hunter links for Jo's match lead to Baggy match :confused:

never mind, found it :)
http://www.atdhe.net/26645/watch-australian-open-petzschner-vs-tsonga

Petschner has 5 bp already

I can't stand it WTF???? :hysteric:

Another BP what is it????

Shaky start, lets hold here.

Picasso can be very tricky when he's on, he gave Nadal a run for his money (should have won if he kept it together I'd say). Jo also still looks a bit rusty.

:banghead:

Good boy, saves 7 BPs. That'll drive Picasso half over the edge by itself ;)

Finally!!! Only 3 games and I am already near heart attack!

So easy on Petzschner's serve :(

break!

:) There's the break. He's decided to be kind on your heart Dana ;)

OMG again!

:hysteric:

I can't stand it
I just can't stand it anymore

WTF, while I'm wasting time arguing with an inane Nadaltard he got broken?

:banghead:

Another BP on Jo's serve.

:(

4-5
:sobbing:

Jo plays worse than in his first tournament :( Really needs to start getting into the mood here soon or he'll find himself in big trouble

Lucky to avoid 2 BPs there. thank you Picasso

Broken again.

That's all.

:sobbing:

Argh, what a miss

Awful.
I can't believe my eyes.
Is he injured again?
:sobbing:

Nope, not injured. Petzschner is playing great and he has no strategy to counter him. Tightens up mightily under pressure and serve is failing him.

:sad:

He is out of Top-20 after this lose. Maybe out of 25.

I'm not so sure, I don't think he moves normally and it often seems he's trying not to bend his knees too much, even when he's just walking. Picsso is not really playing that great, Jo's just a sitting duck most of the time.

:sad:

No, he's at 18. Judio does this kind of work for us ;)

I saw. But there are a lot of guys who can outrun him.
And if it injury again...

:confused: :mad:

He somehow breaks. I still think he's not moving normally

it's a litle bit better :rolleyes:

Onto the fifth set. He's become addicted to 5 setters :unsure:

Please no injury, not now, not for the whole season :scared:

Sorry I was wrong earlier. Jo definitely looks ill, but Petzschner is playing well as well.

5th set. Oh boy. Here we go.

There's the break, now just to hold and pray he's fine by the time of next match

Well done Jojo, get well by Thursday :hug:

Ifeel dead. Jo :sad: Get well :sad:

holy crap! Jo, you scared sh*t out of me.

relieved is the word!!! well done Jo!!

Well... I feel better now that it's over, I almost had a heart attack lol

Don't do this again Jo, or there will be casualties amongst fans here

He didn't feel good today, that's what he said. I know a nadal'fan who was there and she said that the crowd was indescribable, all behind jo ! :worship: and she's not a fan of jo ! but very very very beautiful match she said !

Yeah I read that he wasn't feeling good on court today.

I only saw the last set, and I can confirm, the crowd was pushing him hard, it was nice to see/hear

You know what Boomer, if your french ... the nadal's fan don't like very much jo and since his final in AO 2008, they call him (because the crowd when he appeared on the court is standing ovation) "danette" because you know the french pub "on se lève tous pour danette, danette, danette" !!! It's a very good "surnom" no ????? :worship: because it's so true !

Oui je suis francaise mais vu que c'est un forum anglais ici...

Pas mal le coup du surnom, je ne savais pas qu'on l'appelait comme ca mais j'aime bien lol.

Les fans de nadal n'ont toujours pas digéré une défaite 3 ans après, lui il en colle tellement aux autres, faut bien que ca tourne un peu sinon a quoi bon faire des tournois ?

well done Jo
I feel very disappointed
But I am now happy And Proud of you
Good Luck against Seppi
I'm sure you often Jo

Ahmed Osman

In the first match in GS (grand slam ) always see Bad standard .. But I'm think Tsonga Will provide Great Match
But Him Focus Now .

Allez Jo

Welcome back Jo, and great fight-back after being 2 sets down. Hope fully recovered for next match against Seppi - who also fought back from 2 sets down. Really missed Jo, good to see him back on the big stage.

Yeas, I'am ok with you : but it's true, rafael is allways winning !!! there's 3 players in the world, and far behind, the others :(

Jo!!!! :banghead: :hysteric:

Did you really need this adventure of second TB Jo? Life is too monotonic without problems? WTF it was on serving for the match?

Jo beat Seppi 6-3 7-6 7-6 :clap2:

He seemed fine today, that's the news of the day for me. :)

he lost to dolgopolov in 5 sets :sad:

he lost to dolgopolov in 5 sets :sad:

it was verry speed :eek: jo didn't look very good ... bad french week ! Good play for the other player dog... difficult to write his name, sorry :rolleyes:

WTF was that? :sad:

jo said he is tired and allways running is not normal (he was just walking on the last two sets). At the question : you will loose points
jo : Cela va me faire du bien de prendre une petite claque car cela faisait un petit moment que j'étais installé dans mon petit fauteuil sans faire vraiment de grands trucs : not bad to take a slap cause there's a moment i'm just sitting in my chair without to do great things :rolleyes:
